Starting again!

I don't even know how much weight I need to lose--but it's around 30 lbs. I turn 50 in a few months and I am DONE counting calories. Thought I would come back here because just eating sensibly on a regular basis is a challenge for me. I just eat too damn much!

I am back to no Sing! Fortunately ...

Day 26: SUCCESS!!! HOWEVER, I am super annoyed with myself. I only ate a plateful of dinner, but I could have done with 1/2 plateful.

Always have this fear in the back of my head of not having enough to eat. Yeah, I had some hairy family experiences as an adolescent when that was a reality. But I ...

Thanks Julie! I think the key is getting protein in there! I will continue to experiment!


Day 25 was success and I triumphed again over automatic thinking Jane. I was going for some Triscuits after dinner and stopped myself! Yay! Low fat Triscuits won't hurt much, but the HABIT will!

Another day ...

Hey Andy!

Welcome! I am on Lexapro too (20 mg) and find that it is a bit harder to lose weight, but it does come off!

Just a meal at a time! You can do it!!!

Day 24: Success!

Today is Day 25 and I am still experimenting with WHAT to eat in the am. I get serious blood sugar issues. It's a toughie to find a meal that will fit the following criteria: I have to like it; I have to be able to eat it at work (I start work at 7 am); and it has to hold me until ...

Paulrone, 50 is a handful for a troop! My son has a blast though and only SOME of the parents think that BSA stands for "Babysitters of America". Most are pretty helpful and involved-it's a good troop!

My son is 13 (14 in August) and a Life Scout so we are pretty sure he will make it to Eagle! :D

KCCC,

I had a similar problem in my early going, I was at my son's school for open house and there were cookies. I went into auto mode and started eating them. I considered that day a success because I stopped after a few, and that was progress for me!

More of the same, following No S and eating a bit too much. This is a real issue for me but I AM SURE I will conquer this!

No sense going back to the yo-yo thing. I have to make "peace" with myself and feed my body good food!

But I'm not feeling it. I am GAINING weight! Of course I know why. I am following No S to the letter-no snack, no sweets, no seconds on non-s days AND eating way too many calories on non S days. I am also eating very high calories during my meals on S days.

This is getting a little easier every day. Wondering if I am losing much weight-need to dial back the calories a bit, I think.

I get so tired of losing weight, but I know I can do it! :

Again, a bit of a struggle. Have had a wicked sweets craving all evening. The funny thing is that I am not a real sweet eater-I like my fat greasy and crunchy!

Instead of saying NO! to myself- I said "wait till Saturday and we'll see".

I am in the middle of losing 30 pounds again, so I have 15 to go. I was on a very strict 1200 calorie diet. I was finding myself looking wistfully at bread and wishing I ...
