progress

Am struggling but not giving up!  It is typical...I do well until about 3:00p.m.  I'm stubborn enough to overcome myself.   think I'll plan my food for tomorrow and get myself busy at 3:00. 

The evenings are the hardest aren't they? I know that's my hardest time. I'm going to plan a snack and go to bed earlier or I get bored and start looking for munchies if I stay up too late

The evenings are hardest for me too! I do so good during the day because I'm busy cleaning or doing errands. 3:00 is like the witching hour I can't seem to get full. I have a snack at 3 then dinner at 5:30. I try hard not to eat after that; however, last night I gave in and ate Cheerios with skim milk at 8. Oh well today's a new day I hope to get over this evening hunger some day.

Have a great day botters!

It's  a beautiful day here in Indiana!

When I am actively losing weight...I have food I call " free food"... and I allow myself to eat that - but only that when I want to munch. 

for me that "free food" may be HB eggs, chicken, celery, cucumber, olives, avocado,  NSA pickles. etc. 

so - when the munchies start - I know I can eat food- I just limit what I can eat.  

chips or anything with carbs are not on it,. that way I limit the damage my eating would cause. 

 

 

Your advice is really good. I would be a little worried about the chicken and hard-boiled eggs but I guess if you just eat a little bit it would be great!

i'm really happy about the fact that it only takes a little bit to make us feel more satisfied. Of course emotional hunger is our biggest battle. Thanks for the advice!

well.. 2 HB eggs are only 140 cal. and full of good fats and proteins.. they make me feel stuffed. 

Grilled chicken - same thing..

That's why I don't worry about that...when I am losing - the carbs  or wine - makes me stop losing weight. Proteins - not so much...

some free veggies.. nwell - they really just passing through my pouch and I want more.. but 2 HB eggs.. 2 hrs later - still full..

You're right!
