Im eating until full its just much lower calorie/fat choices. I try to keep round 1200 a day to loose weight. Any more and it doesn't shift. I am only 5'2.

They're new yogurt/chocolate thins not cereal bars as such. I've checked ingreduents and they're not fortified only got added calcium as far as I can tell. Im a bit addicted to them!! X

I used to eat them pretty much every day at uni, I cant remember what they were made out of but that would be my dessert, a go ahead bar or a rice krispie square! Havent had either for years....

So yesterday my mom surprised us by cooking us a dinner with meat. I'm a huge meat eater and always eat tons of meat so I had to eat a few bites so she wouldn't start questioning me about my diet. UGH. My first attempt isn't until July so I'm just going to write off yesterday and do better today!

Breakfast: coffee with creamer

Lunch: Pita chips (2 servings) + greek yogurt spinach and kale dip (2 servings) + 1 small bag of 94% fat free popcorn

Dinner: Trader Joe's Mushroom tarte + 1/2 bottle of wine

Totals: 1485 calories, 45 grams of fat, 41 grams of protein

bluebonnet please dont worry about eating a few mouthfuls of meat. I eat meat at the weekend so at least once a week. In fact as you can see from my posts, my diet isnt perfect

I remember someone on this board, sorry I cannot remember who, she used to have a turkey sandwich every week because her mum came round and she still got a girl.

Thanks, trying not to stress out because I know it sways blue but I'm such a perfectionist so this is hard. Hoping sticking to LE and not stressing gets easier over time.

I eat meat every weekend too and when I have my period, I have to or I will pass out. Remember there are ladies who eat a ton of meat who have girls and ladies who eat a ton of fat who have girls. The scale of how atomic believes things to sway places the calories and the blood sugar at the highest points. I think working on lowering your fat and proteins to lower than what they were is good enough. If you ate 120 grams of protein before and now only do 60...that has got to make for a good sway don't you think? The whole thing of swaying is altering our body for a bit. If you were functioning on a high fat and high protein diet and then you cut the numbers in half your body is working differently than before.
