Whatcha eating today VSGers...Tuesday!!!

What is IT that you would "deprive" yourself of that would backfire?  Maybe we can alter it.

Whenever I limit my calories too low, I end up wanting to eat whatever is in front of me if I get too hungry so even though I need to lose a few pounds that I've gained, I try to keep my calories between 750-850 during this time.  If I try to go too low like 600, I end up eating more than I plan.  Especially on evenings that I am up late.  But you'd be proud of me last night.  I was in bed, lights out by 10:30pm, woot!!!

This is YOUR body and only YOU know it.  So don't get totally caught up on the 600, 40, 40.  I KNOW that works for some, but for me it didn't and the more I tried and failed the more frustrated I was.  IF keeping between 750-850 WORKS then do IT!!  And stop comparing yourself.  YOUR race, YOUR time.  Better to eat 800 then to try 600 and end up binging on CRAP.

I have set numbers (which to me are HIGH) because a none WLS set them which is 1200 calories.  I was SCARED ****less at first, but I noticed when I was eating at around 800-1000 I would FALL off.  Since I've been doing 1200 I'm not hungry and as long as I plan my meals and snacks I've been on Opertion 100% 10 days so far.  I plan my meal and so far am keeping it at the numbers that HE wants as far as calories and fat and keeping them where I like them as far as carbs.

WOOT WOOT WOOT it also helps to be on plan with SLEEP =)

Exactly!!!!  I am figuring out what works best for me.  I was seeing a pattern of my days at 600-650 & I was falling off the wagon.  When I upped my cals a bit by maybe adding a small snack after dinner that was healthy & on plan, I noticed I was able to go to bed feeling satisfied. 

Yay us Ms. Shell.  We are doing this!!!!

Got two pieces of bad news today. Stopped at the convenience store to "get my sick kid a candy bar". I, of course, bought a king size one. Got home, took two bites before I realized what I was doing. Gave him half of it and threw away the rest. That's a win, even if it was totally automatic and rationalizing. So, yeah. Learned something today.

B cottage cheese
L mahi and brocolli (and 2 bites of a candy bar LOL)
D veggie beef soup
S jerky, pumpkin seeds

Vitamins & water - yup
Happy pill - oh yeah!
