Thank you guys-I'm such a baby I need a pat on the back when I do good LOL.
Duvet: I'm a snacker or "grazer"-I don't eat big meals, I graze my way thru the day. I'm trying to change this. One thing I found out about snacking is to control them BEFORE you start eating. I honestly could eat 1/2 box of Cheezits or 1/2 bag of pretzels and still look for the cheese. I found (from a hint on here) to make up 100 cal snack bags in the morning. Count out the number of Cheezits or pretzels or crackers that equal 100 cal and put them in those little bags. I found BabyBell or LaughingCow cheese is lo-cal and very good (Just don't eat it all in one bite). Count out a few crackers with it and equal 100 cals. I'll admit some days I've eaten all my snacks by noon; if I followed my own advice I wouldn't be back on this weight loss thread. It worked the last time-I lost 22 lbs and kept it off for a year. I'm determined to do it again.
Radiana I'm sorry you're in so much pain. Times like that are when I seem to eat the most high cal, comfort foods. Please see a dr and have him treat or rule out depression. This may give you more energy to sort out and get rid of things. DH lost his job 2 yrs ago and we thought we'd have to move. I looked around and realized I don't want to move all this stuff I had. I started in one room, in one dresser on one day. Got rid of unneccessary stuff in just that one place. Did it again in a diff area a few days later. It's amazing how much you can get rid of in one session. (This is weird but I also picture myself dying and my DIL having to come in and clear out my stuff--I'd die all over again from embarrassment LOL). Just take baby steps.
Sorry this is so long--I'm typing instead of snacking!!
