The scale was up by one pound this morning. I need to keep my calories at 1800 or less, preferably less of course. But until I reach my goal I need to control my snack portions, and plan, plan plan! I do ok at meals but overdo it on snacking. Snacks are fine but they need to be planned and portioned! Common sense but I need to repeat it to myself!! My first mistake yesterday was having too large an afternoon snack. Then i had cereal for dinner, which was NOT high fiber. I also had NO veggies..recipe for disaster. When my energy inevitably dropped in the evening I felt I had no willpower left and went for ice cream, popcorn and peanut butter!
I need to have more veggies today, water and adequate protein that is LOW FAT. That's the plan anyways...the struggle coninues.
Danger zones: While preparing dinner for Brandon, in the midst of nonstop whiny toddler stuff, in the late afternoon when errands are run, house is clean, and there is nothing to do.
If I am not in the slightest hungry but find myself in the kitchen, a snack is not called for, so tighten the belt, drink tons of water, diet soda, pop an altoid, brush teeth, do jumping jacks, and find SOMETHING to do!!
P.S. The winds of change are still blowing..but I need to paddle in the right direction!

Hey girl!! I was at the hospital this morning and I read an article by a nutritionist while I was there. It reminded me of you!! She was basically saying that a low fat diet that is higher in carbs will cause you to eat MORE during the day. The reason is that the GOOD fats keep you feeling comfortably full and satiated, and the sugar in the bad carbs make you WANT and NEED more. It's seriously a chemical reaction. Hope today is better :)

yep I believe it..but you know me, i'm no fan of low carb. It's only 2:30 and I'm already at my limit for the day, so not great. I tossed the rest of those low fat brownies since I have been eating WAY too many. I need to stick with single serving desserts instead of making a whole batch. the PB was calling me again and I had a pb sanwhich for my afternoon snack, and there went all my dang calories! I don't know what to do, I'm hopeless!

Awww.. Girl no worries!! I'm definitely NOT telling you to do low carb BUT maybe try to eat most of your carbs in the form of whole grains, fruit and veggies instead of the junkie stuff.
