What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

You know what I'm going to say about those cupcakes, right? "Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP!". Haha. (I miss you!)

Ok, remember how yesterday's menu said I would eat ONE Madeleine Cookie at the meeting yesterday? Yeah, one was a nice starting point... I also had some lime flavored tortilla chips with edamame hummus. I haven't edited MFP yet, but it was nothing good. Probably a week's worth of carbs and sugar. Will this ever get easier?

QOTD: Well, I think I just answered that, above. But honestly, when I was under 1 year post op, it didn't matter what the treat was--I said "no". Now that I'm at goal it's different. I feel like I can indulge in my favorite things here and there, but I'm starting to question whether I have the self control. Maybe I should just stay 100% abstinent. But I don't know if I can go back. I repeat: WILL THIS EVER GET EASIER?

B: x2 Fit Frappe Protein Coffee

S: Fage Blueberry Greek Yogurt

L: Leftover Steak Tip

D: Oops forgot to make my low carb cheeseburger pizza last night becauase someone made me steak tips! mmm! But I will make it tonight :)

Not easier here yet at 4 years 5 months out. I'm right there with you JB. Any sweets,crackers or artisan breads call out to me every time. Hubby had a box of crackers in the camper this week and I made him hide them from me. Luckily the least little bit of added sugar makes me feel like dying so I use that as a definite deterrent.

Maybe think of it like this, if it were easy we wouldn't need the support of each other and we wouldn't be the awesome group we are?? 

Low carb cheeseburger pizza sounds good.  Care to share?

Good Morning all. QOTD: I would probably have a sample other wise it would be on my mind for gosh know's how long. Some times we find we build something up in our minds to be more than it really is. I have had times where I wanted something so badly then when I finally gave in, it was not all that I had hoped it would be. That would be my wish, but could turn bad if it went the other way and was absolutely the best thing ever!! Ugh struggles. Not posting my menu until I am able to go buy a food scale. Time to be more accountable again! 

Man- extra candied bacon. I almost would skip the cupcake altogether and go for the bacon. but QOTD: I would have a bite or two and make DH eat the rest. I really hate wasting food. I LOVE sugary treats also it really was always my issue. i don't dump either or have never had an incident.

Scale truly does hate my guts, still at 126 and not moving down. I did have my endo tuesday so i might be holding back due to the anesthesia. My weight loss has almost completely stalled. I guess it gets harder when there are only a little left to lose? I can't really decide if I'm being too hard on myself or too lenient. I've been doing at least 20-40 or more minutes of yoga a day and I feel so strong and powerful inside my body, but the scale won't move. I'm really having conflicting thoughts about it so maybe need to think and meditate on it today.

Decided that sweet (type) snacks are no longer allowed at night. If i want to have yogurt or another gateway snack that makes me want more, it has to be done during the day since night time cravings for more sugary type are sooooo real. It worked pretty well last night- I had some turkey as my night snack.

Work has been super busy on a project and can't seem to get all my work done.

Food for today

Coffee/miralax

eggs

turkey

tons of crystal ligh****er

more decaf

i will either cook chicken for dinner or just make it for tomorrow for my meaty snacks

Hilary,

just letting you know I think you're awesome! If you don't lose another pound--just think how incredibly far you've come....

Awwww! thanks! you are quite awesome too!

I couldn't agree more with Chassi!

You have done a phenomenal job! And I always remember reading your posts about 'losing slow'... you are the poster child for showing that if you stick with it, even if you think you're losing slowly, you can do it! You've surpassed your original goal, and you're in a healthy weight range for BMI charts!

And I personally think both of you rock!
