Merry Christmas to You! new group *not closed*

Thanks so much ziesergirl for taking the time to make the chart

Hmm I just posted a blank quote post, so sorry. Still learning how to use the forums. Thank you for your words of encouragement. ziesergirl. I usually do pretty well with eating and logging during the day but then it kind of goes downhill when I get home at night and that is probably why the scale isn't moving. Does anyone else have this issue? I try to eat healthy but I think I am eating too much at night.

have not read ahead to see if anyone responded to this. just some ideas here...
1~ are you eating at nite because you are hungry OR just habit?? try to figure out why. and remember we eat for so many, many reasons. don't even have to be hungry. bored, happy, sad, heck I even eat for no dang reason at all!! the food just goes in!!

If you are hungry...maybe you need to eat more during the day and then lighter meals at nite. how bout spacing your meals so you eat every 2-3 hours, or what works best for you. trying to find what works for you will take some time.

looking for some filler foods? AVOID sugar!! read the labels...become addicted to nutrition info. nuts are healthy fats, as long as they are natural and nothing is on them...yup, plain old nuts! I buy in bulk...almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds and walnuts. how bout 100% whole grain? oatmeal...not from the little pkgs. make your own. add some fresh fruit..lately I have been adding some pure pumpkin! lil cinnamon and YUM!!

make sure you are getting enough fluids too. sometimes when we are hungry, we are actually thirsty! try it sometime!

if it's habit, just try to find healthier foods to eat...and make them quick to grab...and get out of the kitchen. air popped popcorn?? sounds kinda nasty....but after a while, no prob! and, good fiber filling for you.

realizing evening is a struggle for you is *positive*...just be more aware of it and make small changes along the way. Each day you make positive choices will get you closer to your goals!! :flowerforyou:

awesome chart.... now let's make ziesergirl_66 efforts with the chart and the starting of the group worth it!! Keep track of our foods, move our bodies and when we have a treat over the weekend, make it something worth it.
Why waste calories on a hand full of chips or a treat from the dreaded Halloween candy bowl, save the "treat" for something great like a piece of homemade pie(less preservatives), or a nice piece of steak etc... indulge on good "whole foods" not processed!
