This week I tracked and did not have my second afternoon snack. I also weighed and measured, kept my trigger foods out the house and brough home the foods I needed to stay on plan. I also am keeping up with my support groups. I am grateful my husband and I are still healthy.

Credit for recognizing why I was overeating this past week even if I didn't do enough to stop it. Credit for mostly getting back on my plan at the very end of the week. Credit for exercising again at the end of the week after taking time off for illness and a very busy schedule.

Are you a member of the clean plate club?

I guess the problem with doing this is if you don't stop when you are full but keep on eating. This happens sometimes at home, I'll be eating my planned portion and get full, but I keep on eating. When I go out to breakfast, I clean my plate even though I might feel full. This response makes me realize I need to pay more attention to this habit.

I hadn't really thought of it this way, but I guess I am. I tend to eat what's on my plate, especially if it's just a little bit left over. If it's more than a little bit left over, I'm more likely to save it and add it to my lunch, or my salad or something else the next day. I try to address this by taking small portions, what I know is an amount that will just satisfy me, or an amount that I've pre=tracked and accounted for within my total calorie goals. In restaurants, if it's a typical big plate of food, I visually divide it in half, eat half, and bring the rest home.

I'm again focusing on doing my tracking and not having my second snack in the afternoon. My me-time is my computer and reading time.

My plan is to track everything I eat - I've slacked on this for the past few days - to eat healthfully and per hunger/satiation/dealing with cravings. I'll also exercise as much as I'm able to.

I make an effort to eat right, keep up with my family and friends, have my online support groups, and take the time to relax.

Thursday, 04/11 What do you get for take-out or when you go out to eat?

For take-out we use the same pizza place. I get a chicken wrap, and share pizza and mozzarella sticks with my husband. We hardly ever go out to eat and when we do, I usually get a salad with grilled chicken.

When I don't feel like cooking or eating out in a restaurant, we usually get meals to take home from the same restaurants that we'd eat at if we were going out. They're all independent non-chain restaurants. I try to focus on no meat, no cheese, little oil or butter, and lots of vegetables. It's not easy to find those kinds of meals from these kinds of restaurants. A few times a year we get a pizza instead.
