Friday Eve Food Police

Hey all - Well, DVR tells me that I'm doing good, I just need to watch the occasional foray into sugarland, and no nighttime snacking (GOD HELP ME!) So I'm gonna try really hard, because I'd like to see a significant weight loss by the time I see him again in 6 months. Wednesday: B - Kashi hot cereal w/8 oz. skim milk & blueberries AW - 8 oz. coffee w/8 oz. light vanilla soy milk, Splenda S - forkful of lc nsa pb 5 - 16 oz. bottles of water/CL L - Asian chicky salad from McD's S - forkful of lc nsa pb 5 - 16 oz. bottles of water/CL D - Chinese food - black pepper chicken & chicken w/mushrooms - funny, I could eat this chicken! AD - coffee w/skim milk, s/f caramel syrup - hoping this would fill me up and cure my sweet tooth Um....okay, so it didn't work - I had 1 Payday Pro Trail Mix bar - probably more carbs than I needed but 15 g. protein Friday Eve: B - Kashi hot cereal w/8 oz. skim milk, chopped peach AW - 8 oz. coffee w/8 oz. light soy milk, s/f hazelnut syrup 5 - 16 oz. bottles of water/CL S - ?? L - Mom made chicky salad!!! probably w/whole grain crackers 5 - 16 oz. bottles of water/CL D - Dinner @ Olive Garden - salad, some kind of protein maybe shrimp - no pasta NO NIGHTTIME SNACKY!!!!!! That's me - what about you? Hey, Tracy, haven't seen you here in a while! Everything okay? Tia

Hey! Didn't have a plan for yesterday, so I have nothing to compare it to. As I said in the other post, I gave in to snacking...but it was nothing compared to before surgery. Today I've had: B - Tealicious Protein Drink 2, 20 oz waters 1, 16.9 oz water 1/3 cup trail mix with nuts/raisins/sunflower seeds I plan the following: L - sandwich wrap with low carb tortilla, 2 slices turkey, 2 slices cheese 2, 20 oz water D - 1/2 - 3/4 cup spaghetti squash with parmesan topped with meatsauce and more parmesan - yummy No snacking after dinner! I'm right there with ya Tia, it's hard not to. I know what you mean about feeling like a failure...but my Dr. said most folks have lost between 50 and 55% of their excess weight at 1 year, so we're above average g/f! I'm trying not to obsess about it... Hugs, Terry

Thanks, as always, g/f! Glad you're feeling better - didn't want you sick in Siesta Key!!! You're right, we're ahead of the game weight loss-wise, but still.... You know, the funny thing about snacking after dinner - I'm really not sure if I'm hungry or if it's head hunger. DVR said I should find something to do instead of eating - I didn't have the heart to tell him what my life is like! It's certainly not like I'm sitting in front of the tube with a bag of chips!!!! Glad the spaghetti squash worked out well, I'd forgotten that I wanted to give you directions on how to cook it in the microwave. I love that stuff!!! XOXOXO, Tia
