Need a little bit of advice!

No need to replace!  Just struck a chord with me. :)

I am pre op but trying to make changes.  The last week has been hellish (first period in about 4 months - yeah perimenopause).  More or less I have eaten everything in my house.  Why?  Because I wanted chips.  But I have not eaten them for over two months and I did not want to give in.  If I had given in I would have just eaten them and been happy.  But then I would feel like a failure for giving in - so I ate everything else.  Now this was fruit, yogurt, veggies, meat, salad  etc....nothing really bad except for the amount.

What finally stopped it in the last day or so has been milk with unflavoured protein powder, lots of water and a chunk of feta cheese and dill pickles at midnight last night.

Today....I am fine.

Damn chips.

Chips = little F'ing *****s of limited happiness.

   I hear ya sista!

For me - chocolate are little *****s of happiness!

I don't think i could stop at one little square of dark  chocolate. 

Dill pickles!!  Must buy some more of those for snacking as well.

Thanks

Hi there

It happens to the best of us LOL
I think 800 calories is kind of low for 6 months out. I think you should probably be able to have 1,000 to 1.200

Eating at night is the worst, I guess it's a matter of keeping busy .............

Thanks Joyce...tonight was much better...I didn't get home until 8:30 or so, not a lot of time to snack...


I was out walking as i am training for the Weekend to end Cancer Walk in September...

Night time snacking is a tough one for me too. Now..I turn off the TV and go upstairs. It's really too much of an effort to keep going downstairs to the kitchen to eat! LOL!

And I agree...1100 calories isnt that bad. At 6m. out I was aiming for 1000 calories.
