My scale has been going the wrong way since the holidays so I made few rules for myself last weekend. So far so good. My problem/binging time is between getting home from work and dinner, so now I limit myself to fruit or veggies between lunch and dinner. Also, no more bedtime snacks. I'm also trying to avoid eating my weeklies, at least until the scale starts moving in the right direction again and I lose what I gained back.
Why is it so easy and fast to put on and such a long difficult process to take off?!

I had one glass of wine when we went out for dinner last night and resisted eating French fries cooked in truffle oil!

Started February with a blue dot. I was focused and didn't give in to the call of sugar.

Not really resisting temptation, but I've tried hard to stay mostly on track this week after being off last week. I've succeeded in being moderate. I've had a few indulgences, but have also stayed focused.

Well considering that during the holidays I was on the Blizzard and Recliner diet- named by my husband and daughter- I'm doing much better. In January a couple weeks with multiple Blizzards and way over weekly Points I lost .6 and .8 which pissed my daughter off but showed me the power of tracking.
My week starts on Saturday and no Blizzard so far. Lol. The original post about giving yourself credit is so true!

My DH got chips and dip for the superbowl. I tried the dip using veggies, decided the dip wasn't that good so I stopped after two bites.

Measured my French Silk ice cream and did not go back for more! There are 2 cartons of the stuff in the freezer!

I printed out a recipe for strawberry cake this morning. I haven't made it. I shouldn't make it even though I intended to make it with Truvia baking mix. But it would still be high in carbs and have more than the amount of sugar that I should consume. I know that deep down it is ME that wants this, not really my husband. So in the end I'm the one that eats most of it. That's bad. I'll resist making it. Instead I can have fresh strawberries with Lite whipped topping.

I had a crappy day at work,and when I got home I really just wanted to grab the box of girl scout cookies I had,and eat them all. Instead I took a shower,and went to bed.

Cyndee- sounds like you have a plan
mlj2151- Good for you!!!
I went to the grocery store yesterday. Got fruits and veggies and picked up something for supper. Debated between the fried chicken and rotisserie chicken. The rotisserie won out!
Then I did have some Dorito's but I weighed out exactly 1 ounce and tracked the 4 points. Thanks to my DH for holding the bag going "weigh them, weigh them, don't take the bag, weigh them

I'm struggling with snacking. Weight's been creeping up, up, up and I'm at the perilous point of going over goal and having to pay soon.
Last Saturday was reckoning day. My leader gave me a pep talk and there's a bravo waiting for me this Saturday if I follow through on the action plan. I have been white knuckling it and having fruit, string cheese in reasonable amounts and avoiding my DH's stash of snacks. So far for four days but I keep hearing the Doritos in the vending machine at work calling out to me. Have not caved yet. Drinking lots of water and 0 cal sports drinks and herbal tea.

To me, the main thing is to think about my motivation and what is most important to me. Is it having that piece of whatever or is it losing weight or maintaining, etc.? There are times that having that piece of whatever is more important. But, I lost most of my weight by actually thinking about it and recognizing that, yes, I wanted to have X but I wanted to lose weight more.
