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.2 -

๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: This month I'm working on mindful eating strategies.
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.3

@Valveta thank you! You too

๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: IM SO HAPPY!! I hit my original goal weight!! Officially 10 down this week, My goal is 120 lbs, so 15 more lbs to go ๐ช on Thanksgiving I had one plate with everything and dessert and it was good, I was satisfied and full but not stuffed. I felt a drop in my appetite and took advantage of it, so I ate less this week. The good thing is that I wasnโt 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.
๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค: I think I officially lost the most weight I ever have in one week. If I keep losing at this rate, I could lose the last 15 lbs in 2 to 3 months!! Just canโt wait to get this over with ๐2 -
