QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
Boredom eating. I'm a chronic boredom eater. It's hard at work to control this bc somedays, we have a lot of down time. I can only walk in place, scroll the interwebs, play games, watch TV, and color so much, before I'm looking for a snack.3 -

Hi Team, dropping in to wish you all a great Monday!
What is One of your Bad Eating Habits? How Can you Change this Behavior?
When I have a meal out where it's too hard to track I have a tough time coming home and not feeling like since I went over on eating out I may as well keep snacking all night. Ways to change it would be preparing a healthier snack, having something ready in case of the munchies like a pot of tea to help with feelings of fullness, or brushing my teeth right after I get home so I'm less likely to eat.5 -
@txcritter69 Suits is such a good show!! Harvey!
It’s always fun to hang out with friends. Yeah, this is a new week and if you go into it with determination and commitment you will see much better results. 
@micaroo4 I’m sorry that Rich has Covid. I hope he gets to the doctor soon and that you don’t catch it too!
@19shmoo69 Are those your birdfeeders? I love Cardinals!
@trooworld, Ugh I know you are frustrated that your husband didn’t do his to-do list. He needs to step it up and fix that walking pad! Pun intended!
That bag is super cute! I have much of the same problem with unplanned meals too. For me it’s, I don’t want to cook let’s go to Chick-fil-A and instead of getting a salad or the grilled nuggets, I end up with a meal that is way too high in calories. I like your idea of having “instant meals” that fit into what we should eat. Then maybe save those high-calorie meals for special occasions and “planned indulgences.”
Hello everyone! I am on week three of my workout program, where we repeat each collection 4 times. So, today was my third time doing this upper body workout and I did manage to go up in weight a few times. My arms were like spaghetti and I had to run to Aldi and carry heavy things. Ugh!!! We got some exciting news that Joe’s youngest son, daughter-in-law, and 10-year-old granddaughter will be visiting us on Easter weekend. I love those people so, I’m very excited. And I’m even more motivated to get as much weight off as I can before their visit. Plus, I will need something cute to wear to church that Sunday.
Word for 2024 - Strive
Question of the week: I think my worst eating habit is making my portions too large for dinner. I have no problem controlling other meals but then I cook for dinner and I end up eating more than I should and then feeling too full. I am going to try to work on this.

@katmary71 replying from last week. My husband does do a lot of the cooking. I don't have the imagination for whipping things together. Without a recipe, it's usually pretty simple. Hope you are feeling better.
@veta2018 we must have the same snow you had. It was nasty and still is!
@19shmoo69 beautiful picture of the birds!
Seems like a lot of people are down with illnesses. Hope you all get better soon. December was our poor health month. I had COVID and the kids were both sick. The little one has a cold again, but it's mild this time.
Is anyone else living in this polar vortex? Good grief! Our windchill is currently -39! Doesn't make for good visibility on the prairie highways, but I manage.
This weekend I was so toast. I did the bare minimum and napped both Sat and Sun. Just didn't have the energy and with it being so cold, I didn't want to do much either. Felt much older than I should too! Sore hip, sore wrist, headache, tired-I'm not ready for this! LOL! Still having some issues with getting out of breath easy too. Seeing the doctor today again to hopefully speed things up. It worries me, as I have a condition with malformed veins and feel this might be the issue. I'd like it taken care of sooner than later.
Hubby is away working again this week, so I am on supper detail as well as running children around all week. Sure take things for granted sometimes!
Let's hope this week everyone starts feeling better. Take care friends!
QUESTION #1:I think I'd like to improve my tracking again. I was on a good streak for awhile. It definitely helps to see the calories at the end of the day and know where changes need to be made.
QUESTION#2: My bad eating habit is snacking late at night. I likely could change by finding something more protein rich earlier in the evening or go to bed earlier

Replying to questions and comments 💕
1. QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
One of my bad eating habits is snacking on not so healthy snacks after dinner. Specially when I go over my carbs for the day which triggers my carb and sugar cravings. I will try to change this by being mindful of my macros and stocking up on healthy snack options and keep in check with my water intake.
2. QUESTION
What is the one main thing you hope to improve this year in yourself?
My mental health. It has affected me a lot going through a lot of traumatic events and stress last year. I let myself give in to negative thoughts and make excuses as to not stepping forward and not do as best to improve myself and my life. This year I will focus on working on healing and taking care of myself both mentally and physically no matter the cost. I will make a great effort to face my mental blockages and I will do this by being consistent with my daily routine/goals and in prayer with God 🙏
~~
Hope everyone that is sick feels better soon!
@KatMary71 Allergies suck. Hope you feel better. I only get allergies in the spring and its hell on earth. That app you described sounds like fun please share. Wow that video mel robbins is so good thanks for sharing, I really needed this motivation/wakeup call. I started watching and realize its almost an hour long so I will watch it in increments. "Dont have a chronic snooze button" life changing!
@morenin , Glad your puppies surgery went well.
@trooworld , Your shadow box sounds amazing. I love making momentos like that. I am planning to make some for my kids with their baby and toddler stuff. I also need to organize my craft space. I could use some ideas and tips. Would u be willing to share some of your set up pics for ideas? Also your woodland bag is super adorable. 😍
@Teresaw2024 ,I love pink and fuzzy things so Id love to see your pink coat. Thanks for the show recommendation. I will check it out. I mostly watch and am a big fan of asian dramas. I just finished watching Good Day to be a Dog korean drama on the Viki channel. I love how they mix comedy, romance and mystery at the same time. I also recommend The King's Affection on netflix. Anyone else watch asian dramas?
@9ishsmoo69 Beautiful pic, love it. At first I couldn't make out the birds lol then I saw them. I think the snow white confused my eyes for a sec like those hidden pictures. The bright red cardinals are so cute and plump. 🥰

This is a new week and I know I need to commit myself to something that will help move me back into that direction. This week is going to be about controlling my snacking after dinner and watching my bad carb intake.
Having a goal will help I bet! When I just do the vague "I will be healthier" with no actual goals, I tend to regress.[My bad eating habit is eating out of habit. I need to start listening to my body and eat only when I am hungry and when "it's time to eat".
I do a lot of that. I'll eat dinner because it's dinner time and made, even if I'm not actually hungry.littlebabekitty wrote: »2. QUESTION

It's hard to eat right when your brain if fighting you. *hugs* I've been using the Calm app to meditate and listen to Sleep Stories to give my busy brain something non-destructive to do. And I need to get on a schedule, including going back to church! I know I'd feel better, but sometimes I feel like it takes all my energy just to get out of bed.
QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
I eat a lot of easy to grab stuff that is highly processed, giving me way too much salt combined with my personal salt shaker. I need to move towards more whole foods, both to lose weight (because of water retention) and to help stabilize my blood pressure.4 -
QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
Worst habit is eating too much sugar. Now I track it, and stay in range. I make sure that I get enough protein. I get into trouble when I start substituting sugar calories for protein. Tracking is the best way to keep it under control.4 -

MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES MID-JANUARY CHALLENGE!!!!
We’ve charged into the New Year and are doing our best but after 15 days many of us are struggling to stay motivated and a few have fallen off-track. Time to take it up a notch Mission Slimpossibles! Let’s spend the rest of January focusing on one area we’re most interested in improving and end the month being proud of ourselves and each other! Ideas of this would be stretching each day, meditating, taking a certain amount of steps, eating 3 servings of vegetables, logging your food, reading a chapter of a book a day, drinking a certain amount of water a day, not snacking at night, and avoiding sugar. Come up with one that is important to you and post it and how you did each day after you check in so we can cheer each other on. Let’s go team we got this! You can help your goal happen like if you’re walking each morning put your shoes and outfit out the night before so you’re more likely to go through with your goal. Let’s finish the month off strong team!

@txcritter69 Do you have any favorite tomatoes and cucumbers? I just placed another tomato seed order, I've had two and started a third though I already have quite a bit. I've been thinking along the same lines as you about not putting green beans out until fall which is when they do best here too. Camping sounds fun! I want to try more melons and winter squash this year so I'll need bigger grow bags. I'm glad the BBQ was fun!
@JadeGypsyxo @Veta2018 @morenin Way to go top winners, you're doing amazing!
@morenin I'm so glad the Calm app is working so well for you, that's wonderful! I try and stay on a pretty solid sleep/eat/workout schedule, it's helped my mental health a lot. So glad the dog surgery went well! Oh no on the welt, Fitbit swears those are hypoallergenic bands which is hogwash, I couldn't wear it at all and bought a fabric band that was so much better.
@littlebabekitty I love your goals on improving your mental health, I think those who end up doing well longer-term are working on improving different aspects of themselves and making more healthy habits across the board. I just sent my link to Kik, it's an app called Finch. If you join be my friend so we can send each other good wishes throughout the day, it's really cute! I'm not a big fan of long videos either, I think the one I posted I watched at double speed!
@trooworld I love your bag so much! LOL the hubby's in trouble!
@micaroo4 It DOES seem if you keep protein in check there's less room for all the simple carbs that tend to fill that category otherwise.
@sleepygirl79 LOL I definitely feel way older in winter when everything is hurting! Hope your doctor's appointment went well. You take care too!
@TeresaW2024 Yay you for going up on weight already, that's wonderful! Haha sounds like grocery shopping should be before hardcore arm workouts! I'm so happy to hear about Joe's youngest son and family visiting soon. Yes that's a great goal to get something new for church!
@trooworld I love that you added “How Can You Change This Behavior” after the bad eating habit so we can have ideas for the next time we're doing said habit and not follow through as we usually do.
Hi team! I tried to catch up on yesterday but am running out of time tonight. PT went well today and I did chair cardio at home before I went. I stopped at the store for a few things and have been working on catching up on things today but made the mistake of rearranging the pantry while my dinner was cooking and don't like it so it's on my to-do list too.
For my focus for the next two weeks I'm going to put effort into having relaxing evenings with hang drums and baths again, I tend to sleep a lot better when I do that. Have a great Tuesday!1 -

I love Calm so much. The sheer variety of things to help my mind chill is fantastic. They even having calming music for when the day is going poorly.
Tomorrow morning we brave the incoming snowstorm to return to the original vet. Doggy is recovering well, and we're sticking to what the surgeon said to the letter. Tomorrow we'll find out what new medicines we need and what to stop. They'll also check for silicone fluid leaking from in front of her repaired retina. Hopefully they'll find none, otherwise it may be another surgery.
Maybe I should try the sports band I have sitting around. I had a welt on my left arms, it's taken 2 weeks to heal. I'd been wearing it on my right... which now has a welt. I will try the sports band tomorrow, if it doesn't help I'll get a fabric band. Thanks for the tip!2 -

Sorry Ive been slacking on checking in. I haven’t been feeling well and really just not on track. Still hanging in here though.1 -
@TeresaW2024 – When the sugar cravings hit, I’ve been making myself a bowl of oatmeal and splurging with adding a tablespoon of brown sugar and maple syrup. Fills me up for quite a while and satisfies my craving. So glad your new pastor seems like a good fit.
@Katmary71 – I finally finished the first season of Reacher. Definitely liked it. I feel like he just needed to get warmed up. I like his personality a lot better in the second half.
@19shmoo69 – Love all the birdies!
@trooworld – I love that bag you sewed! It is so similar to the stamp set & designer series paper I used for Sydney’s baby shower! Here’s a picture of the card I made her:
It has been so cold, snowy and icy here in Southwest Michigan. Last Friday, the County sent all non-essential employees home at 2pm. Wind chill of -25F. I’ve been in the house ever since. I don’t want to shovel. Not with the walking boot on. And if I cover it with a plastic bag, I’m sure I’ll slip. Too cold for salt to work, so ice is under everything. Boss sent a text earlier that both the secondary and primary roads are treacherous (Interstate 94 keeps shutting down due to slide-offs and accidents), so he said anyone that wants to work from home on Tuesday is allowed. I am so thankful my work can be done remotely. Kinda sucks, though, because it’s my 50th Birthday (on Tuesday) and it’s too dangerous for any of my children or grands to visit. But I know they will all video call at some point. I’m declaring 2024 my year to get healthy and lose the excess weight so I can play with the grands without getting out of breath!
Sunday I was really craving white beans, so I soaked half a pound of Rancho Gordo’s Alubia Blancas overnight and threw them into the slow cooker with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potatoes, broth and seasonings. Made 6 servings of soup that was so freaking good, I ended up having 4 bowls throughout the day. I ended Monday at 26 calories over. Ugh. But dang was the soup delicious! Looking forward to having the other 2 bowls! I’m having a hard time wording this because it’s 2am, so sorry if I’m spelling out the days too much.
Also, in relation to my weigh in, I'm not gonna pout over a 0.2# increase. Still soda-free (26 days) and I think it's helping. A LOT.
QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
I have a lot of bad eating habits. But I think one of the biggest problems is not eating something right away when I start to get hungry around 3pm. Instead, I’ll wait until I get home at 5:30, then I’m so famished, I don’t want to cook. I just want food right away, so I’ll make noodles…peanut noodles or ramen. If I make just one serving, I’ll still be hungry within an hour. If I make two servings, I’ve wasted so many calories. Then the unhealthy choices snowball from there. I can change this behavior by making sure I have a protein filled snack at work (or home) and not worry about the clock in relation to meal times.
2024 Mantra: Quit slacking and make s h ! t happen!

@19shmoo69 Ah that's a good one, Darren!
@bethanie0825 That would be hard.
@littlebabekitty Congrats on the loss! I'm sorry for the anxiety and stress. Drinking enough water definitely helps me snack less. That's a great idea to make the kids a shadowbox with their baby/toddler stuff! I bet they'd really like that. Sure, I'll share my favorite craft area thing: I got a pegboard from IKEA (but you could get one from Home Depot etc) and hang my vinyl and tools on it (it's a little messy looking lol). I even hang my Cricut mats on it! Here's a pic. You can see, at the bottom, my Cricut machine. This stuff is in my living room and my computer, which I use a lot for crafts, is to the right. I also have this awesome fold-up table that is really, really handy that I just love. Thanks, I love that material I made the bag out of, it was one of those fat quarters from Walmart for $1.97!
@Katmary71 Those are great ideas, Kat!
@TeresaW2024 HAHAHA! Yes he does! Thank you. That's exactly what happens to us, we don't feel like cooking and instead of making a healthy choice, it's pizza, burgers, etc. Yes, that is a good plan to do. Congrats on going up in weight, awesome! Oh that's great Joe's son is coming. Portion sizes...yeah that's an important one. I hope you can figure it out!
@sleepygirl79 That is really freaking cold! I wouldn't have wanted to do, or go, anywhere in that weather.
@mybuddyplus427 Thanks for wanting to join our team! If you specifically want to join our team, feel free to request it. Good luck!
@Jactop Congrats on the loss!
@Katmary71 I'm going to choose TRACKING for this challenge. Thanks! Yeah, I figured why not think about that, too? I hope you start sleeping better.
@morenin I hope all goes well at the vet today. For my Samsung watch, I got a fabric band off Amazon as the silicone one was annoying me. IT helped a lot!
@AmbersWay Hugs. I hope you feel better soon.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! Oh that card is so cute! I love it. Wow, that is incredibly cold. I'm glad they sent you home. I'm glad you can work from home. I'm glad your soup was good. Yay for 26 days free of soda!!! Gosh your answer to the question is so familiar to me.
Hi all. Back to work as I feel better now. I wish I could retire lol. Have a great day. Here's a picture of part of Chris's Craft Corner lol. It's my IKEA pegboard that I hang some of my craft supplies on.

One bad eating habit I have is eating to deal with emotions. Doesn't matter what emotion, if I'm stressed, happy, sad or whatever I will eat. Usually something sweet to self sooth myself and relax myself. I have always used this method even as a child. It's very hard for me to break.
I've been working to use other ways to deal like a hot bath or reading. Sometimes going for a walk.
We have a nice amount of snow here in East Tennessee. It's been awhile since we had such a nice amount to play in. My boys are loving it and really loving no school. I've been working on potty training my youngest this week who is on the spectrum. So been dealing with some STRESS this week but hopeful it will get better. Hope everyone is well and safe.5 -
@19shmoo69 WOW!!! i see you've logging into MFP 528 days in a row. That's amazing. I could use some pointers from you on consistency
@Cornanda You might be onto something with the smaller meals. There's a lot of conflicting info on eating 3x per day vs 5. The theory is that only eating 3x per day gives your blood sugar and insulin more time to drop but I've been finding with smaller more frequent meals it doesn't spike as high to start with. Plus there's the added bonus of not having to wait as long until you can eat again lol.
@trooworld I like your Cricut set up. My husband would love it if I only had a craft corner. Much to his chagrin I have a dedicated craft room for all my paper crafts, a large sewing room with a corner for painting and I've taken over a portion of his workshop with all my woodworking tools.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Happy Birthday. I hope you get to do something fun. Cute card.
QUESTION: The habit I need to change is having Never Ending Suppers. There seems to be a disconnect between my brain and my mouth. Even when I know I've eaten enough and should be full I can easily keep eating. This will also be what I'll work on for the challenge to finish the month strong.
The steps I'll take will be to go for a walk or do some other form of light exercise as soon as I've eaten enough. If I don't get out of my kitchen I'll want to keep eating.
I also downloaded an app called Days Since. It keeps track of your streaks which I find motivating.
-15 days since eating sugar
-17 days in a row of working out
-3 days of not eating after supper

Good Morning,
@gemwolf110 Yesterday was grocery day ,but we had to go help a friend feed their cattle. So I had to go shopping. I am actually very proud of myself for sticking just to the delivery cart and not buying anything extra.
@micaroo4 I hope Rich is still doing ok with covid. Fingers crossed that you don't catch it.
@19shmoo69 I love Cardinals, they say that if you see them flying around your home that it is loved ones from beyond visiting.
@Cornanda Madam Secretary was pretty good. I have been thinking about the Good Wife.
@trooworld I tried the meal planning thing. It didn't work for me. I always found myself not wanting to eat what I planned that day. I now wake up and plan the day based on what I am in the mood for. I love your woodland bag.
@TeresaW2024 YES, Harvey! I am in 2 day this week and doing well. That's great that you are seeing results with your workouts. Great job sticking with it.
@sleepygirl79 I watch Mandy in the making on youtube, she has some amazing dishes that are easy to make. I have tried a few myself and have more I am planning on making. We don't live in the polar vortex but did go through our 1st winter. It got down to 14 degrees wind chill 1. We had enough snow to cover the ground yesterday morning and let Diesel out to play in it. The temp is now rising back up into the 30 to 50. We will see what Feb brings.
I understand the aches and pains winter months cause us. I wake up stiff as a board. I have to muster up the energy to crawl out of bed. Getting moving sucks.
@morenin Glad everything went well with your pups surgery and that her recovery is moving along as planned.
@Katmary71 I found the cherry tomatoes to be the easiest to grow. I tried the bigger tomatoes but they did not get as big as the should have. I don't think they got enough water and nutrient need to grow over the summer which lead to poor production. My slicing tomatoes only got a little bigger then a golf ball. I like the pickle cucumbers, they were the perfect size for us. I have a better plan for them on the trellis this upcoming yr. It's sad i can only get them in the spring and summer. I also have to keep things simple for my cat sitter who has no green thumb. I only got one cantalope of my vines last yr so will not try those this yr.
So for this week I have made the no snacking after dinner goal. I am 2 days in and can honestly say I have had no snacks after dinner. We did eat out yesterday after helping with feeding the cattle. I had beef bulgogi at a local korean restaurant. Other than that we have been sticking to the no spend Jan. I think I will carry it over next month. It has been helping with not eating out. I also have been watching Mandy in the making on youtube and I love that she helps me come up with ideas on what to cook. I have tried a few of her dishes (enchilada casserole, taco tater tot casserole and italian sausage,egg and biscuit bake) and have to say hubby even asked to have them again. Tonight I am trying sweet and sour kielbasa sausage over rice.
I was going to start working out this week but my leg is still bothering me so I am still resting it. Hopefully next week I will get started back up.
QUESTION: What is one of your bad eating habits? How can you change this behavior?
I love snacking after dinner when sitting in front of the TV, mostly chocolate then anything salty. I have decided not to buy anymore junk food to store in the cabinet. If I am out shopping and what a candy bar I will buy one bar and save it as long as I can. The reward will be sweet.
For my Mid January Challenge I am going to stick to the no snacking after dinner and continue choosing to be HAPPY!

@vegan4lyfe2012 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
@865jessica best of luck with potty training. Always a bit trickier when they have potential sensory differences. So nice for your boys to have school cancelled and be able to play in the snow-hopefully it's decent enough to do so.
My goal is to track my food for the rest of January. I don't know that I will get on here to post about it every day, but I will be sure to check in every once in awhile.

I looked back in my journal from my notes from last year when Rich had covid. His cough was pretty bad by day 3. By day 6, he was using his rescue inhaler four times a day. Day 8, I started with symptoms. Day 10 of Rich's illness, I tested positive. Day 11, Rich went to the clinic to try to get a nebulizer treatment so he could breath. The clinic called an ambulance and he was at the hospital overnight with a-fib. They released him the following day. Day 17, he was able to go back to work. His disease is definitely different this time around. He's not coughing, other than like a post nasal drip cough, not a deep bronchial cough. So I think he'll get through this better than last time. As for me, I'm making note of that time line; it was 8 days into Rich's illness before I had any symptoms.
I'm going to work tomorrow, as long as I test negative. I'll wear a mask.

@Vegan4lyfe2012 That baby shower paper is so cute!! My mind doesn’t even compute that type of cold. It’s 40 and raining here and I’m complaining that I have to go out. That is a good idea to have a protein-rich snack and have it instead of being so hungry you have the noodles, which you know aren’t going to satisfy you enough.:D Happy birthday to you!!!
@trooworld I’m so glad you are feeling better. Your crafting area looks great!
@865jessica I have the same issue with eating no matter the emotion. Finding other ways to soothe ourselves is such a good idea. I’ve been trying to acknowledge the emotion first before the mindless eating sets in. I wish we would get some snow in Georiga!! Good luck with the potty training. My three-year-old great niece just got potty trained and then her baby brother was born and now she has regressed. Her mother is not pleased!
@txcritter69 Great job at sticking to your no snacking after dinner goal! I do keep some Breathsavor cinnamon flavored mints that help me in the evening when I just want something. Sucking on two of those really slowly helps me so much. Maybe give that a try for yourself? That might help your need for something when you are watching TV in the evening.
@micarro4 Yikes you and Rich have been through it haven’t you? I just hope you both start improving soon. That is good that you can go back to work.
Hello everyone! Today was a good day. The scale was down this morning which always makes me happy. I had a great leg workout. I had been taking a supplement called Creatine but ran out last week and I really believe not having it is why I’ve been feeling so sluggish while I work out. Today was a much better day with so much more energy for the workout which is almost an hour long. I went to the office to get this week’s work done and I’m still trying to nail down our new pastor on exactly how he wants to be paid. It’s a whole thing when it comes to pastors. I’m off to make a lovely peppercorn pork tenderloin and air fryer Brussels sprouts and carrots. Yum!!
