**I felt like crap 2day during my workout. I had a preworkout drink and still had low energy. I pushed through and finished but I hate when I feel like that. I usually enjoy a challenging workout. Hopefully 2morrow will be better.2 -

I am out of control. I need to refocus and get myself together.
@Kin59vara When I am out of control (and it's happened several times) I tend to overhaul my diet and do something even more drastic, because I can't do moderation, for some reason, moderation for me leads me down a rabbit hold of complete loss of control. First time I went keto, then when I lost control again, I added intermittent fasting (16:8) and this last time that I lost control I added ADF and it's helping with the control problem. Making myself strict rules to follow is how I regain control.
Thanks for your advice and taking the time to give it. I feel the same way I need sometimes to make strict rules.
I think each of us has different ways to be strict on ourselves. I am absolutely militant on tracking. I have tracked every single day for over 390 days. I don't miss a day. I think that doing this, more than anything, keeps me from overeating. In the past, I was dishonest with myself. I never wanted to admit how much I actually ate. I even hid candy wrappers in the trash can at work....like the calories wouldn't count if I couldn't see the evidence. If I think about eating something now, I ask myself do I really want to journal it? If the answer is no, I don't eat it. I am 100% brutally honest with myself. The other ways I am strict on myself are that I don't eat any candy, cake, pasta, pizza, cheeseburgers, fast food, etc. I had one dessert last year and I still feel sort of guilty about it. My diet plan is simple. I keep my carbs around 100 net grams ( I like fruit and other complex carbs so it will rarely go below this number). I try to eat a lot of lean protein, mostly chicken and fish. I started eating a lot more red meat and that was when I hit that plateau. I try to keep my fiber above 30 grams too. I pay lesser attention to sugar and fat grams but I do monitor them. I have modified these numbers as I have gone along. In the end, it is what works for you.
Thanks, I love to hear of everyone's journey as it is inspirational and gives me food for thought ( a little accidental pun).1 -

Went all day and had only eaten 500 calories still feeling ill so didn't fancy dinner then ended up having a major binge last night once I started picking at bits line drawn today and I will try to use less calories today to make up for it.
I don't know why i ate so much I still didn't even feel really hungry just habit I guess. I hate winter and it's not even as cold here in UK as some places but I hate being cold I'm made for summer I think 😁0 -

So I've been having this crazy craving for friend chicken and mashed potatoes! So I decided to make some! I'm on keto so I can't really eat it so I made my own keto friendly version. Just cut up a chicken breast into strips dipped it in egg I crushed up some pork skins for the breading and put it in the oven on a pan greased in MTC coconut oil and baked it. Then just got a bag of steamable cauliflower put in the microwave till done put it in my blender with lil bit of garlic salt and some butter and blended it up! Omg it was sooo good! And total carbs for the whole meal was only 2 carbs! 😁

Daily Post - Wednesday
Track: Mentally
Calories: Under
Exercise: Nope
Ok, so Monday and Tuesday were a disaster food-wise. The stress of prepping for the party led me to stress eat and I decided that I would just be really crabby at my son's party if I tried to fast or keep it keto so I gave myself free reign. So I probably ate enough calories over those two days to feed me for a week. Today I didn't track but I know my calories were under. I'm also rethinking this OMAD thing. Trying to participate in a weight loss challenge while doing experimental eating just puts too much pressure on me because instead of focusing on what might work for me (or not) in the long run, I'm too worried about gaining weight for weigh in day. So I might not participate in this challenge next month.
Oh, and thanks for all the responses about the messy houses. It feels good knowing I'm not alone. And maybe I should look into a cleaning app. If I can clean up my phone to make room for yet another app.
