RAFL

I haven't had any Snickers since I started this journey... but boy do I love them, and I 'm craving
one just now. See what you did? ;-) A maintain is good if you know you snacked too much in the
evenings. Maybe try eating more during the day? And try doing things in the evening to avoid
snacking? When I watch television I try to keep my hands busy : folding the washing, sorting out
magazines, doing crosswords... It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it does.

Disappointing week. This week I've been really good at not eating during the day then snacking in
the evening 'cos I've been so successful. I also had some beer and yesterday I had a snickers.
Snickers among other things are what got me in this position in the first place, so I shouldn't
have had it. But I had the calories to spare so it's a crime.

So what's the result - no change @ 202.

Not unhappy with that at all. Now to shape up for a good loss next week.

The good news is that you didn't gain. I think the scale is primed to go down very soon.

That evening snacking thing is so hard! I'm slowly learning that it is possible to find the balance
between not snacking at all and all-out binging. I've learned to adjust my points throughout the day
to allow for my evening treat. But then I limit myself to one or two low-point treats: usually low
fat ice cream and meringues. Exercising in the evening also helps curb my cravings, besides earning
me some activity points. I'm also mindful that sitting down to watch the television is an automatic
munchies trigger. I don't watch television without a full bottle of water beside me. If necessary,
I'll eat a mini bag of low-fat popcorn. Just enough to satisfy the munchies. Not enough to damage my
day's worth of good eating.

You've done a great job figuring out solutions to your weight loss dilemmas. I've no doubt you'll
get this one solved too.

Onward and downward.

Could you have hit a plateau? They are quite frustrating. Mine lasted 6 weeks and then I
mysteriously started losing again.

Go back over your journal and see if you are doing any thing differently that might have you right
at the max number of points without realising it. You could be under counting something and you are
now on the "maintenance plan". Suggestions that were given to me: Start mixing up your meals,
increase your water, eat more veggies, faithfully weigh and measure everything. Maybe something will
help break the plateau.

have you thought of buying the bite sized snickers and freezing them so you
go and get only a portion at a time? Lee

Not a bad idea, I might just try that. Now I will have to figure out the points for these first...
