Today I take credit for attending an in-person WW meeting, tracking, weighing and measuring, keeping the right food in the house, keeping up with my online support groups, exercising, and doing meditation. I'm grateful that my husband and I are still healthy.

Do you label food “bad” or “good?”

I don't label foods good and bad but how they fit into my goals of health and staying at my goal weight. Also most foods can be worked into my food plan as a sometime thing. One thing I've enjoyed since I started again in 2006 is understanding my body's reaction to sweets or the idea of sweets. I've mastered it pretty well and am happy not to have too many cravings and not having the urges to eat more. I do judge food on whether or not they are worth the calories/points.

I do label some foods as bad and good. For me, a particularly bad food is potato chips. I really can't eat just a portion. I feel compelled to eat an entire full size bag. I try not to buy them at all. For me, good foods are vegetables. I try to eat a lot of them. I know that there's a lot of information out there about not labeling foods as good or bad. But when I analyze the factors that go into whether or not I should eat particular foods at particular times, it's easier for me to just think of them as good or bad.

How are you doing with your sleep? Do you think the quality of your sleep affects how you deal with food and eating?

I'm doing pretty good with my sleep. My mind is calm usually so I don't fret over thoughts when trying to go to sleep or wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Now I have a food plan for each day so if I'm tired I don't eat extra, but years ago when I was working if I was tired from lack of sleep I would eat my way through the day.

My sleep is really not good. I do tend to snack and overeat at night, after dinner, when I'm tired as a result of poor sleep.

Thursday, 07/29 Do you plan your meals/snacks ahead of time, or decide at the time of the meal/snack?

Most of my eating is planned ahead of time.

If I'm focused about staying on plan, then I tend to plan my meals, at least the evening before or in the morning for that day. If I'm not being focused, then it's pretty much spontaneous, at least for breakfast and dinner. Week day lunches are a bit more planned because I always bring lunch to work.
