-out of the blue, a friend of mine gave me a new gratitude journal as she knew I enjoyed recording my blessings in journals before
Share a NSV.
-I am on the 4th day in a row of logging my food which I don't like doing as I always find it time consuming and frustrating, no matter how long I do it for or how many items I have saved in my history, but I know it's beneficial so I have been forcing myself as it usually helps me make better eating decisions.
-I have stayed under my calories for all 3 days so far and am on track to stay under my calories for today as well.
-I have been wanting Chinese take out and pizza take out but am determined to get a loss this week after 3 weeks of gains so I have been strong and have not given into the take out cravings even on nights when I have no desire to cook... which is pretty much every night!

Share a suggestion of what to do when you have the munchies.
-Don't bring junkfood into house. When I work hard to resist buying it in the first place then there are less temptations in my house that I have to resist.
-Stay out of kitchen as that's when I end up getting something I don't need.
-Think about whether indulging in the munchies it is worth the calories and sugar. I have learned that some treats are worth it and I am okay in allowing them in moderation and some treats I regret eating.
-Get busy doing something else. I need to distract my brain from the munchies by focusing on something else.
-Have family member hide them or lock them up somewhere. Although it sounds amusing, it's actually no joke as this is very effective for me. I would buy some treats then get someone to put them somewhere I didn't know or couldn't access and when I had a healthy eating day and would like a treat then my family member would give me a reasonable amount so I didn't binge eat the treats.
-Sometimes I can allow myself something small that is sweet or salty to beat the munchies but too many times I overindulge so this isn't a strategy I find very effective for the stage I am at right now but there were times I was capable of doing this.
-At Christmas, we were given a massive box of chocolates so each time I ate some, I put aside the same amount to give to a few family members so I didn't devour the whole box myself and when I use this strategy for other temptations I always tell 1 family member if they are out so I would make and eat 2 cookies then tell the family member that I packed 2 cookies for their lunch so I didn't eat all 4.... which I have been known to do before!!!!!
Great strategies. I have my husband put food where I can’t find it all the time.Huckleterrie wrote: »

I upped my calories awhile back. While my weight loss maybe slow it prevents me from binge eating and overeating.aneedlecraft wrote: »aneedlecraft

Ok, I have reached onderland for the upteenth time. Hopefully, I can stay there this time as the 190’s are my stumbling point. I started with ozempic on Monday and we are hoping for some consistent weight loss. My appetite has been off for a couple of days but my pain has been high so that could be an explanation as opposed to the medication. Whatever the reason, let’s hope I can navigate my way to the 180’s.
NSV: My husband always buys me a chocolate bar on his way home on Fridays. I told him last night and texted him again today to not bring me home one. Hopefully, it’s the beginning of breaking a bad habit.9 -

That’s a fantastic loss! I can’t wait to get to Onederland.
Also, I know it’s not the healthiest thing but a chocolate bar from your husband every Friday night is so cute 🥹

Trying not to sulk that I was a pound lower for the last two days, a loss is still a loss!
Had a review with my BED therapist today and she was really pleased with how I'm doing so feeling good about that and my jeans feel a little looser. Long way to go still but plodding on!5 -
