Find myself snacking a lot. I start everyday out by journaling what I eat but by the end of the day I've blown it. I stopped losing as of last month (one year anniversary). I've lost a total of 73 lbs. I still don't eat sugar and I DO exersize 3X a week but I am not losing anything and have weighed the same for about 2 months now. I've heard all about the "honeymoon period" and now I know what it meant. Mine is absolutly over!!! Everyday I say I will try to just eat protien and try to get back on this program but by noon I fail!!!!! Just like the olden days!!!
I am getting so frustrated I can't stand it. Is anyone out there going through the same thing I am???? Thanks for listening.

Hey there......most likely it is just a plateau you have to wait out, or muscle gain if you haven't been exercising a long time. But as for the snacking dilemma.....which is my BIGGEST struggle of all in the whole surgery.......I realized just recently (all over again, lol) that it is imperative that I eat breakfast. It bothers me that I am eating at a time I don't really want to be, when of course I could enjoy it more later. But when I don't I notice I am thinking about and looking for snacks all evening long. I did well on my last vacation and just said it was because I was distracted by fun, and said I was struggling at home because I was bored. THEN my I spent the night at my BF's house and he cooked me breakfast, so I ate.....I had 1-2 healthy snacks in normal portions that day and was not obsessed. So, I orced myself to eat yesterday morning and same story. Duh, how many times til I believe that I need to eat breakfast to avoid sabotaging my day. So, if one of your meals is not breakfast, give it a try......if it is, maybe try to add another small healthy meal.
