[quote=Anonymous][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]

No, I don't - I just don't. Well, unless salmon counts - I do alternate with salmon but just because of taste. The mercury may be bad but the weight has got to be worse, and right now I just need to do what I need to do to take it off. OP, what are your biggest triggers? What are your most hairy reasons for having your weight problem in the first place? How do you think you can address them in a reasonable way?[/quote]
