[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -thanks to everyone for the thoughtful suggestions and meal plans! Starting to think 1500 calories a day is a more reasonable goal to start with. To the snarky poster who dismissed this thread and said people have bigger problems- shame on you! You have no idea how the extra weight is affecting my life, marriage, health, etc.  so don't assume this is a frivolous vanity driven thread. Also, isn't the purpose of this forum to support one another? It is very helpful/encouraging to hear what has worked for others and hear new ideas.[/quote]

PP of "I won't help you eat 1,200 calories" here, and just don't worry about the idiots. There's always at least one at DCUM!

I think it's great that you're re-thinking your process. Just sit down and think about what your real danger points are, how you can handle them, and how you can make this work long-term. One of my danger points are the hours from 4-6 while I'm making dinner, dealing with homework, etc. So even though I'm generally not a meat-eater, I put a can of tuna as my 3 pm snack because I know it sits like LEAD in my stomach and I'm not hungry until at least 7 after the danger has passed.

I am DETERMINED to make this work. I won't give up any more years to my weight problem. I feel strong and in control. I hope you can get there too![/quote]

Good for you and thanks for the encouragement. I feel the same about not wanting to give up any more years to the weight problem but still working on the strong and in control part. This is a great tip. The afternoon is always a hard time for me as well. Do you alternate tuna with something else to avoid high mercury levels? [/quote]
