I think it's the friday weigh in thing. You would think it would be the other way around but with weigh in coming up I can't seem to think about anything except food! I am going to strive to turn that around today.

I had one of the most filling breakfasts I make and I plan to eat light the rest of the day. I have leftover eggplant filled with ricotta stuff in marinara and a pasta salad that's all been weighed out and set aside from earlier in the week. I think I'll make a salad and eat it along with those and have yogurt with strawberries and a few chocolate chips for dessert. If I keep it to that, I'll be happy. I have a new netflix movie to watch so think I'll go to bed early and watch that to stay away from the kitchen.

Perhaps you should only weigh in once a month. That way you can focus on what you can eat, which is easier than focusing on what you can not eat, and go about other business without the stress of the dreaded weigh in.

Filling our days with things that are productive, replenishing, relaxing and staying away from the kitchen is a good idea.

I agree with Pam... skip weighing in for a while if it stresses you so much!
You're in this to be healthier and stress is not healthy.
Hide those scales and forget about them for a while.
Also.. if you are thinking about food so much, I wonder if your body is telling you that it's hungry. Can you find a low cal snack.. like beans and rice... to fill you up??

I had to hide my scale and am simply focusing on doing what I KNOW is right. I will only be weighing myself every 6 weeks. I can tell my body is shrinking a little bit at a time. I'm feeling better and that's what matters. " )

I am up and down this week.
Only a few more days this month left and both our birthdays. I will start on the first and weigh then and on the 31st.
