In a moment of weakness today, I bought a Hershey's chocolate bar to "supplement" my lunch, but after I ate the sandwich & counted out pretzels that I packed, I was full and just didn't eat it. Not even one square! at the beginning of the summer, that beautiful milk chocolate would have been gone!

Well, in keeping with the one-man-milf theme, my combination weight loss motivation/reward is that I am going to have a glamour boudoir photo shoot done in February to give to my DH for his birthday in April. Not evil in the sense that the pictures will be THAT risqué, but lets just say, none of the photos will be hung in…

Haha, no, two 3 hour DELIVERY runs, in my truck, at work.:laugh:

Drive a delivery truck for work, and it takes me so long to "get ready" to leave on my two 3 hour daily runs because I have to make sure my water bottles are full, I have my lunch sack with the proper foods, etc. Corner store employees look at me sideways because I now stop to use the potty on my 3 hour runs from drinking…

1..Drink. More. Water. Even if you don't so anything else, drink more water. Your skin, hair and nails will look better, your digestion will get better, and it will keep you from putting other things that you should not be having down your throat. 2. Set aside a time (like 2 or more hours) going through the grocery store…

Do an internet search for using the lowest setting on your oven, you may not need to buy one at all!

I like Blue Diamond vanilla almond milk with a hint of honey on my cereal. It is great on "plain" cereals that I used to put sugar on. 60 calories for a full cup! I also like Peter Pan whipped peanut butter. It's so fluffy it goes a little further on my sandwich at 150 calories vs 190-200 for regular. I like Arnold or…

I like to microwave 1/2 cup applesauce with 1/2 cup water for 1 minute, then add 1/2 cup lite cinnamon applesauce. Canned pumpkin with a tablespoon of light cream cheese sounds like I need to go grocery shopping and pick some up! I put banana or blueberries in sometimes, but only after I have finished cooking it.

Barbell squats. No real Idea why, but the bar across my shoulders that way is just too much. The pad that that is supposed help with that only puts a funny torque on my shoulders, so dumbbell squats for me. I don't do squats as low as I'm *supposed* to, because my low back and knees ask me not to, but you can't let what…

The tangy zip of Miracle Whip. Apple butter on my toast. A1 sauce when I don't want the sugar, BBQ sauce when I don't need the salt.

I don't really have a cheat/treat DAY, but rather about 3-4 meals spread out over a week. Any day under TDEE is a win.

You: So sis, how much weight have you lost? Her: ~10 lbs You: Look behind you, you'll find it Or just say, "No, I'm not on a diet, this is how I eat now"

There was a retirement party for a dear sweet man at work 2 weeks ago. my boss bought five 12-packs of soda and there were 3 left over. They are sitting in the break room still because I have had not one drop. Before this summer, I would have had a minimum of one per day.

Everything feels like....less work.

"I went over by XXX calories today...I RUINED EVERYTHING!!!" By all means, throw in the towel.

The baseball & softball teams at my kids high school are having a fundraising 5K fun walk/run next weekend, and it was nearly an hour before I realized that I was considering participating instead of just volunteering. This would not have EVER happened about 2 months ago.

Remember when we were small and we could have dessert until after we ate a good dinner? Well that works out pretty good now, too! I let myself have almost whatever treats I want, but ONLY AFTER I have the things (that we have known darn well since about 4th grade) that I need to fill up on first. For example, I can have a…

There isn't really any food that I can't eat anymore, but I am getting to where I just can't have a second(or really big) helping of anything anymore. At McD's, I had a plain cheeseburger and a small order of fries, instead of any kind of a value meal. And it was enough!

Bought a belt about a month ago with 5 holes in it. At that time, it was just right on the first hole (biggest size). This morning I comfortably fastened it on hole #3 for the first time.

"Absolutely, positively, no matter what else you do...don't weigh yourself everyday." So WHAT if somebody does?

Soda. Not completely, but I am literally consuming about 90% less. Sugared cereals. macaroni and cheese.

More comfortable in my clothes Everything just feels like...less work

Unless she was spoon feeding him 10k cal/day, she does not bear the responsibility. Just because someone serves you something, you are not obligated to eat.

My TOM hasn't been quite so bad since I upped my daily water intake. Keeps me from some of the water bloat and the "not enough cards in the world" cravings.

Decline to answer on the grounds that I can not pick just one. But of course, that kind of carb-tastic eating is one of the reasons why I am 168 lbs :) My new best friend is Blue Diamond vanilla almond milk with a hint of honey! Gives me the sweetness that I used to get from sugar loaded cereals!
