Yesterday (145 lbs)

2 coffees, 3/4 tsp sugar tot

leftover spaghettini w slight butter/sauteed mushrooms (+ pepper and pasilla chile pdr), added half and half, simmered down; more mushrooms than pasta. Mmm

dish of panzade's recipe coleslaw

walnuts and small scoop of pear ice milk

glass of schweppe's tonic water on ice with lemon (ugh) - needs gin or something and I bet even then I wouldn't like it. Trying to remember liking gin and tonics in the seventies. Basically I'm finding tonic water too too too icky sweet, now that I'm used to mineral waters like gerolsteiner and apollonaris.

I could use some advice from those of you eating around hectic or changing schedules. I have read here often without posting and picked up some great ideas -- the food diary, for instance, which I keep in a small notebook (as opposed to here, on line). It is Day 260 for the Mr and me. We have each lost 30+ pounds, but more importantly, kept it off. Now, with Christmas coming, I am a little worried, because my meal schedule is all over the map. Some days I start work at 6am, others at 8am and others at noon, working until 9pm with dinner/supper at 4pm. I try to eat regularly to keep my blood sugar stable but it's tricky not to over eat. I've been supplementing with protein bars for those days when lunch is too close to breakfast and dinner is way too early. Any other suggestions?

(Just to add, you all here have been an inspiration to me over the last few months without even knowing it. So thanks, Jespah, especially, and way to go Beth!)

Oh shniff. And yay! Congrats! Keeping it off is not easy.

Hmm. I bring fiber one bars with me to work (similar to what you're doing) as I've learned sometimes I just wanna rip my own arm off and eat it if I don't speak up and have lunch anywhere near on time. Heh.

Usually fiber and protein = satiety. Tuna sammich, maybe? Too much? Maybe yogurt and nuts?

I can do yogourt -- and the nuts are a good idea. Sometimes I suspect I'm really just thirsty. Going to take a water bottle with me tomorrow.

I carry around a huge water bottle everywhere (or at least it seems that way). I like hot water in pretty much any weather unless it's over 80 degrees (big weight loss = no insulation = I'm feckin' freezin' most of the time) so I have this huge, silver-colored super-hot bottle with me.

I'm such a diet dork.
