4.5 lbs gone in 55 days...
So I could moan and bemoan my slow loss... or I could celebrate that I have lost 4.5 pounds... and that if I continue this path, I’ll be at my goal weight (25.5 more pounds gone) in 311 days if I keep this up. When you do the math, it puts it all into perspective. This is a great process...

Nighttime Help Needed
I need some help... How do you keep yourself from eating at night when you’ve finished your calories for the day? And honestly, it’s not just nights but that’s the toughest time for me. Most of the time it’s not about hunger. Tonight I am actually hungry but am not going to the fridge. Or the cupboard. I didn’t eat extra…

It’s just two days... Not gonna be three.
I’m trying not to look at two days of eating too much as failure, but as a choice instead. I chose to eat more. And today I’ll choose to continue to track everything and make smarter choices. Keeping the motivation going...

41 days... Still working at this...
MFP is so deceiving. It announces I have a loss of .4 this week. Yay, right? Well, I have lost .4 after gaining 2 last week. So MFP doesn’t tell the whole story.

Night eating question...
I have been so good about night eating this past month... But tonight I am about 300 calories under where I'd planned to end and am actually hungry, not just mouth hungry. So do I: a.) drink my tea and go to bed. Or... b.) eat my planned calories then drink my tea and go to bed. Dilemma.
