Still stalled....need suggestions and help please!!!!

[umpa]

Well you know how to do it!  I think posting menus is helping you 

[MommaB]

That's true, Umpa! I think it's helping to hold me accountable!!!

It's also true that I'm not hungry, Doug, past the first day in my re-portion control!! Drinking tons of ice water has really helped too!! I used to be a "member of the clean plate club" growing up!! Now I make sure that my portions are small enough that being a member of that club isn't a bad thing! lol   

Can't wait to get on the scale in the morning and see if it's moved again!!!

The "Clean Plate Club" was started during an era where many folks did not know from where (or when) their next meal was coming... The Great Depression.

Under those circumstances, they were eating to survive!
Enjoyment from food came from just having something to eat.
The Great Depression ended long ago. But the "club" still exists.

One of the best ways to leave the club is to follow Doug's 15-minute rule until you know exactly how much food your body needs.
With that knowledge and the rest of the FTS rules, we lose weight!

 I did remember that, Tony! I have also been doing the 15 min. drinking water and seeing if I'm still hungry! It is working and I'm very thankful!!!

Just for fun, I went back and read your first post, MommaB. What a difference. You're a winner, for sure!

[Amber]

Way to go!

Hooray, Momma!!!

[MommaB]

Thanks everyone! I definitely feel like I'm back on the right track!! Writing everything down and REALLY paying attention to portions is the key for me!!! What a huge difference!!! I'm drinking tons more water and I haven't had a diet soda in a couple of weeks! Took a sip of one today and it was soooo sweet I couldn't believe that I used to drink that!!! Wow!!! Soooooo much better now!!
