What worked for you today?

What worked for me today was a slow cooker dinner already cooking so that dinner is taken care of tonight.

Getting behind the wheel of my "thin" friend's car, and not having to move the seat back. I even noticed today that I really should pull my seat "up" in my car. It's a different world out there when you're thinner!

We took stuff to the dump today, and I can tell that our workouts are already paying off, because we lifted old pieces of fencing and random leftover bits of guttering and a tote full of golf balls the previous owners left (WTF?) and felt physically competent doing it, and that's a NICE feeling.

went to a church eating thing, buffet style, I ate veggies and meat and 1/2 piece of cake, left the rest of the carby stuff alone. I learned my lesson after last week at Golden Corral, dont go back after sweets, leave bread alone. If you go back for 2nds, let it be veggies. win win

love these posts, very helpful. I had Hershey choc pie and split it with husb. I try not to deny me stuff because if I do I will just go crazy with it later. We ate fish sand at Burger King and I take my low carb flatbread.

I added 20 gm of protein in a smoothie every morning. It got me closer to what MFP says I should have. After I did that, the "scale moved" and I've been losing the 1 lb a week I had planned.

Keeping busy all day. One thing I've really noticed during the pandemmy is screen time = eat time and since my screen time has been up, oh, about 1000% , it's not a good look. When I limit my screen time (Netflix, video games, mindless scrolling) and do more analog stuff like cleaning, drawing and reading I also eat less.

What worked for me was eating plenty of fat and protein. An avocado and sardines for an early lunch kept me full for 5 hours.

YouTuber Will Tennyson suggested a walk after meal to aid digestion and he also recommends that you get 10,000-15,000 steps per day. I decided to combine them. In the morning I do my usual 60 minute workout and for the last two weeks I have added going out for a walk after dinner. I use that walk to complete my 10,000 steps for the day. The results have been miraculous. The scale is moving again, my sleep has improved 100% and my "colon health" is the best its been in many years..... .

I was aggravated with dentist visit and he took 2 days to get back with me and you know what I do when aggravated. Not this time, I said that if I eat it will just give me one more problem so I went to the trail and walked off my frustration. Told myself food will just give me unhappiness! Destroys me.

I had one of those containers of soft cookies from the bakery section of the grocery store in my hand and was about to put it in my cart, even though I KNOW I would not be able to limit myself to just one or two and I would feel sick and ashamed tonight.

What worked for me today was saying out loud, right there in the grocery store, "I don't want to do this any more." I recognized that the craving to binge is neurological junk and that I can accept the urge and let it pass without giving in to it.

What worked for me today is tracking all my food and sticking to my plan. Weighing myself in the morning. Having pre-thought out healthy meal options and having my fridge stocked with lots of greens and other healthy choices.

I log all my food/exercise with MFP throughout the day. I have a commitment to read inspiring some stories/ideas everyday.

What is working for me is not worrying about being hungry. I am learning to sit with hunger. It will pass, I am not dying. I eat a lot of veggies, I eat enough and I eat well.

What is working for me is that I am focused and committed to myself and to having success.

I have been struggling to lose 2 lb , so I have increase my protein with a breakfast protein and things ar moving in the right direction. With working a rolling shift pattern it is hard to follow a diet plan, so using this calorie counting app has really helped.
