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

I was compulsively shopping for the longest time too!! You know, we need new stuff because we had to replace every single thing we own to fit now, right? I can rationalize anything I tell you! I had to stop cold turkey and used Christmas as a cut off. I haven't bought any clothing or shoes since then. I can't believe its been over 6 week and I'm doing okay - it was really hard at first!! I had to unsubscribe, delete the bookmarks and avoid looking at the ads that always show up on other pages I visit. You got this Cara!!

Thanks Amy! I'm going to unsubscribe from store mailings too, and clear my caches. I honestly don't need a single thing more, I truly have a ton of clothes! it was all just indulgence, and the love of cashmere, and the pleasure of small sizes. But underneath that was compulsion: a crazy, greedy, ancient dragon, buried in gold. It has never, ever had my true interests at heart. Thanks for your tips!

Congrats on being so close to your goal!! Regarding maintenance, most likely you'll have to tweak things as you go. Adding calories and fat is what I had to do to stop losing when I needed to. I did it cautiously for sure.

Thanks Kelly! I will start adding cautious calories in a week or so, most likely. I'll be slow and careful. The last thing I want is to zoom back up!

I added things like avocado to a salad or a portion of almonds. Things like that.

good info, thank you Kelly! Funny, I lingered over the almonds at the grocery store yesterday. I wanted them, but not a great big bag of them! It would be harder for me to resist overeating them if I had a gigantic bag. I think I have to buy them a scant handful at a time! They are so good.

Yes, I'm convinced I could eat my weight in almonds and cashews. I like to buy the box (emerald brand I think) that have 5 portioned out bags inside.

Almonds, cashews, and pecans! I also love hazelnuts! I haven't seen them portioned out but will look for tem. If I can't find them I will.see if I can buy just 10 or so nuts at a time!

Perfect, thank you Kelly!
