Carbs are tough on us and it's easy to forget that. Sounds like you have a handle on this.  1-3 lbs a week is good. It all adds up.

Last week I started my behavior modification to get back to my roots and break some bad habits.

Week 1 - DESERT ONLY ONCE A MONTH AND IT HAS TO BE HOMEMADE.    I really have a sweet tooth so this was a struggle for me but, I did really well this week.  I found myself pacing the first couple days but was okay.

Only had one sugar cookie while making a batch of cut outs for the grandkids. That is my sweet treat for November. Glad today is a new month.

Week 2-  NEW BEHAVIOR.//NO GRAZING. Starts today. Gets added to Week 1 behavior changes. Three meals and 2 planned snacks only. My worst grazing episodes are my days off work, social functions, and evenings.

Of course, tonight we would have a Holiday Open House!! I am planning ahead and decided I will eat a dense protein lunch and forego my afternoon snack and  have some protein before I go.  I'll have a glass of wine, select only meat and cheese from the appetizer table, then step away from the table and spend time chatting with friends.  I think this can work. We socialize a lot, so this is really a good behavior for me to tackle.

I know you didn't have the RNY but do you shake when you over do it on sugar?  It still doesn't take much for me to "dump".  I count it as a Blessing!
