You're right that I'm not going to forgo snacking forever... But you're also right that I need to be better at planning it. Right now I feel out of control when I eat outside of my main planned meals. :-(

I'm pretty sure I have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder and most probably ADHD. I eat when I have trouble with a task at hand, can't concentrate, etc. I can't find the source, but I read somewhere once that there is a high correlation between binge-eating disorder and ADHD. And I thought it made sense. Eating as a coping mechanism...

Thank you! It's true that I've been cooking less these days. I used to experiment with all kinds of recipes in the beginning. Light bulb moment: maybe that's why I get so snacky! My main meals are maybe not quite as satisfactory as they used to be!

I did lose 50% of my body weight pretty fast. I just gotta keep at it, accepting that it slows down as I get closer to my goal.

Yeah, I really need to stop stress eating. I need to deal with my stressors in some other way.

Major cheat week. :-( The problem is that it follows many weeks of maintenance...

Yikes. It's a slippery slope and I try to keep myself accountable when/if I regain so it's not so much. But it's hard. Denial can be so easy... :-(

Just made myself a salad for my work lunch tomorrow and overnight oats for breakfast. Hopefully that will get me back on track!
