I attended a virtual Weight Watcher's meeting, tracked, weighed and measured, made sure I had the right food in the house, kept up with my online support groups, and got six out of seven blue dots on the Weight Watcher app when tracking my food and drink. I am grateful my husband and I are still healthy.

Credit for stopping the night-time binge eating I was doing all week for the last 2 nights of the week.

Do you still track and weigh and measure your food? Have you learned how much you can eat and can now go on autopilot a little?

I still track and weigh and measure my food and drink. For a while I could go on auto-pilot as long as I paid attention to my good eating habits especially if I ate the same foods I usually eat. But over time I start to have portion creep.

Right now I'm in a no track phase. I've done this before when I'm overeating so much and just give up. This no track phase is a little more intentional and experimental, and I'm trying to pay attention to "good eating habits" as you so nicely put it bbbearsmom. I'm weighing and measuring some, but not all, of what I'm eating. I'm really never confident about what and how much I can eat. I never have been.

susan092907, For me the problems can start when I'm eating and I get to the point I'm just eating to be eating and I don't stop.

My usual list of goals: attend a Weight Watcher's virtual meeting, track, weigh and measure, keep the right foods in the house, and keep up with my online support groups. My me-time is my puzzle, computer, and reading time.

For me the problems can start when I'm eating and I get to the point I'm just eating to be eating and I don't stop. That's a big problem for me too. I'm working on being very aware of hunger and satiation. Over the past year I've experimented with the idea that it takes about 20 minutes for the signal of satiation to register from the stomach to the brain. I remember reading that somewhere. I also remember people on CORE, and the WW materials about CORE, talking about feeling just satisfied is when it's time to stop eating. I've been working at practicing all of these ideas and find them helpful. Weekly goals - I generally don't have weekly goals. I do plan to get to a virtual WW meeting this week to get that done for February.

Did you give up anything while losing weight and then worked it back in once you were at goal?

When I started Weight Watchers I made the rule of no sweets for me in the house. I still keep the rule and do well with it. I did stay away from all desserts for a while but after a while I started to have them at events where they were served, and some times I would order them in restaurants. The occasions for having dessert were few and far between. Since the pandemic I haven't had any because we don't socialize or go out to eat.
