    Share something that made you smile today.
    -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!

    Steps:

    Current Week:
    Water✔️✔️✔️✔️
    Calories❌❌✔️❌
    Exercise✔️✔️❌✔️

    I may up my activity level in my settings depending on my weigh-ins. Some days, there has been a big gap between my net calories and the calories in my diary, then I'm ravenous on other days. I'm not going too far over, but it is discouraging.

    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.

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

    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.

    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 🥹

    2 days of weight training and a weekend eating out every meal. I am surprised it isn't more.
