This week I tracked, weighed and measured, kept the right food in the house and my trigger foods out of the house, met with my local WW friends, exercised, and kept up with my online support groups. I am grateful for husband and I are healthy.

Credit for mostly following my plan to eat per hunger/satiation and to eat healthfully. Credit for journaling about this. Credit for tracking all week. Credit for exercising as much as I was able to.

What foods did you use to crave but now think are no longer worth the points?

Most sweets, cupcake, cake, cookies, most candy, I use to crave them now I'm neutral. I don't bring them home so that saves me. If I happen on an occasion where they are available, I might have some. If I do get a craving, I usually wait it out. If I'm home and craving something I won't go out to get it. But I've told myself I don't have to be strict and can give into a craving with a single serving if I want to.

Same for me. A few years ago, I decided to "withdraw" from added sugar and foods containing added sugar. Now I mostly don't crave them, but I also don't buy them much or keep them accessible to me if I do.

My goals for the week are to keep tracking, weighing and measuring, shop to have the right foods in the house, keep my trigger foods out of the house, and keep up with my online support groups. My me-time is my computer and reading time.

My plan for the week - I'll track everything I eat and eat per my plan - healthfully and per hunger/satiation/address cravings - and I'll journal this. I'll exercise as much as I'm able to.

Wednesday, 01/17 Do you have attitudes towards food that lead you to overeat? Things like you belong to the “clean plate club” you can’t waste food, so you need to eat everything up, or you feel like you must eat if someone offers you food and others are eating.

I belong to the clean plate club. Since I have measured out most of my food, I will finish what I've served myself, if I've served myself at a buffet or a dinner party, I will eat everything I've taken. At restaurants though I often put aside half of my entree to take home, but if I'm not taking half home, I will finish it. I can sometimes turn down food that someone offers me, but I usually take some. My husband is somewhat of a food pusher. I often take what he offers but if I'm full I will say no. Seeing others eat encourages me to eat. All of this leads to me overeating.

Clean plate - I've been practicing taking small portions so that I don't have to think about leaving food on my plate. But if I do end up with too much, I tend to finish it, so I've also been practicing not doing this. Eat if others are eating - I tend to do this. for example, if the group wants to go out for ice cream and I'd prefer not to, I do go and get ice cream, but try to get a smaller portion. On the positive side, if we're eating out in a restaurant or at home and no one wants vegetables or a salad, I make my own decision and eat the vegetables or salad.

Thursday, 01/18 How important is the taste and flavor of your food to you? What do you do to enhance the taste and flavor of foods?

Of course, I want my food to taste good and be flavorful, but I'm not driven by taste. I have a tendency to like bland, plain foods. One thing I noticed when I cut back on processed foods with their added salt, sugar, and fat is I could taste the natural flavor of the foods I eat. Also, when I ate processed foods the additional fat, sugar, and salt overwhelmed the natural taste of the food. I do add spices to food.

Taste and flavor is very important to me. I cook with very little added salt, and I eat foods with added sugar only very occasionally. I enjoy the taste of foods how they are. I do like cooking with spices and herbs, and I like trying out new recipes that have interesting flavors and seasonings.
