    Name: Cathy
    Date: Oct/31/23 - week 6
    Start weight: 247.7
    Current weight: 238.6
    Overall weight loss:9.1
    What I lost this week: 7.4
    Comments: Weight loss must be mostly water change. Last week I gained almost 4#, and this week I am down a little. Was on the road again, where I may get dehydrated so I'm not clear on what is really going on but glad the direction is lower weight.

    Mindfull Eating Goals
    *Eat without distractions-
    I will eat at the kitchen table without the distraction of TV or phone.
    *Eat slower-
    I will chew my food atleast 20 times, and set my utensil down between bite.
    *Control portion size -
    I will continue to measure my food and use a smaller plate.
    *Don't skip meals -
    I will plan ahead and have measured snacks on hand.

    The point isn't to change what I'm eating - it's to change how I'm eating.

    @shazia20 - Welcome. I copy and paste the format.

    I handled Thanksgiving pretty well. I was just slightly over my nutrition goals for the day. When the day was over and I was at home late at night I followed my husband into the kitchen and watched him eat some pie. He said come on it's Thanksgiving. I wanted a peace but saved it for this morning.

    I was a guest for Thanksgiving which made it easy. Not around food in the kitchen and lots of conversation which slowed eating. Meal was a buffet so easy to skip 2nds - no passing bowls to temp. Happy with small portions of tasty foods. :)

I felt a drop in my appetite and took advantage of it, so I ate less this week. The good thing is that I wasnโ€™t starving or in pain, but I felt a slight hunger which I was able to embrace and just accept that as a normal thing when losing weight.
