Hello! I'm here, just delayed in posting. I'm with you on modifying recipes and controlling portions. My dietician told me to use the "real stuff" and limit portions, which is how I cook/live. I have one and two cup bowls and eat my meals out of them. I've gone through a spurt where I'm just not hungry. What a wonderful problem to have!! I haven't eaten much, if at all, over the last week and know I've lost. I'm not weighing in right now because I tend to let the scale dictate my mood, but I can tell in my clothes. I'll take it!

Turkey and the usual trimmings here, but I'll stick to a bite of this and that.

I'd love to hear about the sweet potato and pecan dish.

Hope everyone is making it happen. Let us hear from you!!

My life is finally starting to get back to normal whatever normal is. Just checking in to see if I can get some support. s_suther calling on you.

[bacon 514]

I decided to start posting here again on a daily basis. Hope others will join in.

The last two days have been on point, Meals have been small and I have got my 30 min walks in both days. I'm working night shift now, so I start back tonight.

Plan:

Meal 1- 6 oz of chicken 2 oz green Beans.

Meal 2- 7 oz tuna salad. SF pudding cup

Meal 3- Same as meal 2

I also packed 16 0z glass of Tomato juice. I will try to get a 30 walk in the morning before bed.

[s_suther 446]

@@bacon - I'm here!! I'd welcome some accountability and will also post.

I've GOT to do better on exercising. Ugh.

Today's plan:

1/2 Power Crunch bar

lunch & Dinner:

chicken tortilla Soup

1/3 c shredded cheese

Homemade pita chips

I may or may not post food everyday, but will at least post what's going on and one thing that went well. My dietician, who I still speak with monthly, has me less focused on tracking and counting and more focused on eating small portions and being satisfied. I struggle more with the head hunger/binge thing than I do anything else. Thus, she wants me less focused to help prevent my whole good/bad or off/on mentality. We'll see...

Can we agree to each share one thing that we did well each day? Let's try to focus on the positive!

Sounds awesome. My meals are boring most days. You know my binging issues. So my focus is on not binging and slow eating / not regurgitating.

Same here on the binging, we are in similar situations with that. I after a year, I finally came clean with the dietician about it last week. That's the reason she wants me to focus less on the stats and more on things I do well. Okay, my friend, game on! Post every day or I'm hunting you down. Please do the same.

Right on. I just switched jobs again. I'm with a great company running local again. It's taken me longer than I hoped for to get back on my feet. God has always been faithful.

Small portions, 80g of Protein, and drank all of my Water today.

Today's positive - Sunday afternoons, especially during football season, make me want to graze. When I was craving something sweet this afternoon, I had 1/2 tablespoon of creamy Peanut Butter and that did it. Victory!

I'll rinse & repeat tomorrow and report back in the evening.
