1.7 pound gain this week. Not proud, but not aggravated either. I gave myself the week to “enjoy” foods. I ate pizza to excess, wolfed down an entire Jimmy John’s sub, and pigged out on Chinese food.

Once again I felt uncomfortably full and guilty afterwards. I know I can enjoy these foods, but simply cut down the portions, but I have portion control issues with my favorite foods—potato chips are the perfect example!

Anyway, I’m back on my logging wagon... logging all of it... and letting the guilt go...
Just now I enjoyed a portion of chips...and I’ll have a large glass of water.

My next hurdle is breaking the 200 pound barrier. This is when I start to self sabotage... but I’ve got a million projects to finish...and when I’m distracted with fun things to do, I snack less.

So glad we’re all on this journey together! Together we can do anything.❤️

Happy Wednesday!

Jill

Good luck during the final stretch of april ...all!

@gillexplores you should look into nutritional yeast flakes. I use it to season my veggies and eggs. There is 5g of protein per tbs. It's not for everyone, I think it can interfere with some medications and is not recommended for diabetics, but I love it. Hope this helps
