I probably won't be writing down what I eat much longer. Maybe just when I add a new food back in so I can have record of the results.

Hello,

your menus sound good.

some days im super hungry and other days not as much, trying to listen to my appetite and not my mind.

your doing very well.

hang in there and take care.

Hi, I had to laugh at your surgar cookie dream, when I was doing phase 1 of SBD I had similar dreams about candy.

Congrats on your loss so far!!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Feeling a little stressed out about some life stuff and hope I can stick to the plan through it.

Today I ate Arby's roast beef and fries. I took off the top of the bun and only ate part of the fries but still dissappointed in myself.
