What's on your menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers? Day 5 of AMAW/CAMW!

Looking good, Mike!!! Glad you are back here posting regularly!

Good for you for grabbing the bull by the horns! It's so easy to let go and ignore our problems. Looking good 

Lookin good!

Nice job Mike!!

Good morning everyone! This CAMAW has been hard for me. I had let carbs sneak in since Christmas and especially bites of cupcakes, cookies or low glycemi**** cream. It really stood out to me this week how often that was happening. I did veer off track a few times, but I think I have an increased awareness now of how easily you can get off track. I'm also down 2 pounds since the beginning of the week, which is great for me. I've been a super slow loser lately.

Good morning! I have a crazy day of running around to different locations, so I had to pack a lot of my food today - thus, it's premeasured and packed. I am a bit low on the protein count, so I may add something during the afternoon. Depends on how I feel. As always, I will edit with accurate measures/pics and corrections as I eat through the day.

 QOTD: I am really glad I did the AMAW challenge.  Like you DaisyDoo -- it's pretty close to how I eat all the time.  I always weigh and measure my food -- and I have way over a 1000 days logged into MyFitnessPal.  I do not take breaks for holidays -- and my birthday was last Saturday -- I still stay on plan.  

I view my obesity as a disease in remission -- caused by my addiction to food.  Certain foods are horrendous triggers for me (think bread, chips, potatoes, rice, sweets, etc) -- and it's easier to completely cut them than try to moderate them.  In fact, a life time of trying to moderate my addiction to them brought me to 347 pounds!!

That said, I hadn't considered that even some good foods might also be a trigger for me.  Lately, I'd been feeling a little more out of control and anxious about food.  I was very snack-y in the evenings -- and I felt compelled to eat things like nuts, cheese and even popcorn.  They were all portion controlled -- but the compulsion wasn't ever truly satiated.  That is GONE during AMAW.  Thus, I plan to continue on AMAW for a while longer -- and definitely limited and watching my reactions if and when I add cheese or nuts back.

Finally, special thank you DaisyDoo for extending such a warm welcome -- and the enormous amount of time you take to manage this thread.  It doesn't go unnoticed.

* I actually give you credit for that -- I paid attention at the start when you commented that people who logged religiously tended to be more successful -- so I made that my first goal.  

You are a machine Kat. Just incredible. I hope new people really pay attention to how you do things.

When most people say they are eating x number of calories, I'm usually a little skeptical. When you say how many calories you are eating, it's money in the bank.
