When I drink a glass or two before dinner, I put off dinner and nibble. After I eat dinner, I am fine. I don't want any more wine or food. I have noticed on my AF days, I'm starved when I get home. I need to eat dinner and quickly. So for me, I'm eating more on my wine days than on my AF days. And drink is what I'm…

@MissMay I like the site drinkaware, but do you know of one that tracks in ounces?

We ate sugar toast, mustard sandwiches, mayo sandwiches, potato chip sandwiches, and pickle sandwiches. We weren't necessarily poor, but I think there wasn't a variety of snacks available back then, so we got creative with what we had!

Let's say last week was a bust. :( It wasn't the worst, but I've had better Moderation weeks. Win moment, last night I poured myself a strict 5oz glass of chard and I sipped and enjoyed it ever so so so slowly. Mon-Thurs AF for me this week. My SIL gave me a quart of homemade LimonCello. What can I make out of it other…

I doubt you get many woo reactions on this thread. I for one, appreciate every single nugget of wisdom that you so generously offer. Sometimes I don't understand them all, but I appreciate them. MFP should be paying you. It could supplement your income while you are out on leave from the leg modeling business. :smiley:

Good luck!

I've been wondering about one. I was thinking about an instant pot or an air fryer. A co-worker lent me her air fryer. I loved the non-greasy food, but it is way to cumbersome yet the capacity is way to small. Will be crossing the air fryer off my list. Still thinking about the instant pot though.

I don't get angry, but sometimes I feel discouraged or overwhelmed because I think "Omygosh I have to lose 70# and I'm only going to lose .2# - 1# per week, this is going to take FOREVER! I don't want to be doing this FOREVER! WaaWaaWaa!". This time around I've tried to take my weight loss in chunks. 10% at a time. When I…

Ok. Yes I did miss that.

Just to report on my small victory: The NO was stronger tonight!!

I missed something, I think. Is the OP's mother cutting out all sugar including fruit or just added granulated sugar? If she's cutting out fruit, that's not good, but I didn't read that.

I need simplistic. Thank you. I think I'm going to use the last 5 days as the beginning of my diet break and go on for another 5-7 days at maintenance. While I did eat at maint or above, I actually didn't eat the things that I really wanted. I have been jonesing for a real cheeseburger with a real bun. It was one of the…

What about hormones? Does it take them a certain amount of time to readjust? I was for certain that I read someone saying that Lyle said that a diet break needed to be 10 days to 2 weeks to straighten something back out. I guess that I'm still confused... a little.

Thank you. I guess I get so confused when I hear people talking about hormones and glycogen and this and that. I honestly thought that a refeed was just a mini diet break and that they both served the same purpose. :blush: Thanks for the clarification.

What I really want to do is get back to it. Call these past 5 days a diet break, skip the planned one, and move back to my deficit, but I'm not sure that what I've done is enough to be a beneficial diet break.

My downfall is stress or tired drinking. I think I want a glass of wine to calm my nerves in the evening. I may not really even want a glass of wine, but I think I want it. It's like a battle inside. You want it. No you don't. Yes you do. No you don't. For me sometimes the no's win, but mostly the yes's win. This is my…

Welcome to the AF community. I am just like you. Enjoy my wine. See I even call it mine. :) I am trying to be AF through the week as well.

Hey guys and girls! I had a week/end/week. Thurs - yesterday. A family member passed so there was an emergency 1000 mile round trip. I tried my best to eat as best as I could, but it is extremely hard when traveling like that. The first day was OK because I was able to pack decent food/snacks. The next days were full of…

You articulated my thoughts perfectly.

I'm not a 'big breakfast' eater, but I do like to have 'something'. A cup of milk sometimes hits the mark for me, but I usually get hungry a little earlier than normal when that's all I eat. And I need the calcium.

My thin husband, who is in very good shape (better than me), eats what he wants when I'm not cooking for him. (I would never call him names though.) He eats Little Debbie's, Oreos, Ice cream, Peanut butter crackers, or Chocolate Milk before he goes to bed. I only ask that he doesn't ask me to serve it to him. This morning…

I don't know if it's the time change or Sun, Mon, Tues, AF, but I had 9 hours of glorious sleep 2 days in row! Hallelujah! And I actually feel like going to my yoga class this afternoon!

This is what was happening to me. I'd come home and really be starving, but dinner is not done. Hubby wants to have a beer before supper so I have a glass of wine too while I'm cooking. Then when dinner is ready, he wants to have just one more, sooo I do too. I just had to say, STOP. Drink water or tea while cooking and…

Someone can say the words Tacos and Margaritas and I will literally have drool in the corners of my mouth! haha

You are making me want to hug you. :)

I don't know if there is such a thing as a fast food addiction. But I will have to say that as I was reading all these comments, and I'm not making light of this subject, but my mouth started to water. No joke.

Sun and Mon down. I actually didn't even want anything. I slept 9 hours last night. Felt so good!

Good idea!

Yum! I put tons of garlic in my homemade ranch dressing. This reminds me that I haven't made it in awhile because I've been doing olive oil and balsamic dressings. I tried eating a whole raw garlic clove once. POW! You have to have some grit to do that! LOL!
