P2R2 VLCD #18 (171.8, +0.2)

I had a hard time again yesterday people! I felt hungry a lot, when I shouldn't have! I ended up eating a couple handfuls of light microwave popcorn, a few nibbles of the hamburger/rice casserole I made the family for dinner, a couple slurps of Emma's shaved ice (with ice cream in the bottom... yum), and I took a bite of a sugar cookie I made the kids last night, but spit it out when I realized what I was doing. Anyway, I am just hoping that today will be easier. I have only 5 days until I take my last shot before the break and I really want to make those days count! I don't know why I was extra munchy yesterday... I think my hunger was more psychological than physical. I was home most of the day because of Emma being sick and that means I was close to the kitchen all day. I find it much easier to stay on the diet when I am busy and distracted. Hopefully today will go better.

  1. My sister is also having a hard time right now. I'm trying to read whatever I can get my hands on dealing with the psychology of eating... Once I get the weight off I don't want to go back to my old ways of coping with stress, sadness, loneliness, happiness... well... you get the picture!! Keep up the fight!!

  2. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. It is really a help to me. I never knew I ate so much for things other than hunger.

    I'm glad you are able to catch yourself and stop when you do. It seems like a little nibble leads to a binge when I get started. However, I'm determined to stick with it.

  3. Oh how I know how that goes!! I was out of town unprepared once and thought I'd just have a 'little' of something I shouldn't.... set me up to eat the entire day... it was so frustrating... I now have an absolute LAW for myself: when I'm feeling hungry or really want to eat I MAKE myself prepare a large cup of tea and 99% of the time the hunger is gone after I drink the tea... hope that helps?????
