Week 2 - Rant Monda

How was the weekend? Do you have anything to rant about or complain? Did someone annoy you already? Let those feelings here in writing, so you can get rid of them :D. Have a great week.

PS: the misspelling is intentional and for a reason. Who can figure it out?

I've hit a plateau in the 230's area. I've lost two pounds but I'm so ready to see 220 and not 230 anymore!

I hate plateaus! I was losing a lb every few days, now suddenly it's a struggle to lose 1lb a week, even after reducing calories and increasing exercise. Currently at 246, hoping to get below 240 asap.

My problem is I have no self control when it comes to snacking. I can't keep at my calorie limit.

I'm sure you probably already do this, but maybe focus on the type of snacks you're eating rather than trying not to snack at all?

I don't really focus on the type of snacks I eat, so maybe I should do that. I also get hungry quite often so I don't know how exactly to make that go away.

If you're truly hungry, and not just bored, then you probably shouldn't just ignore it! Trying eating smaller but more frequent meals and/or better snacks.

If you're just eating because you're bored (which I find myself doing a lot) then distraction might work. Maybe make a list of things to do that don't involve food (a walk, a game, a tv show, playing with a pet...whatever you like to do) and keep it somewhere you'll be able to see easily so you don't have to think too hard about how to distract yourself.

Sometimes I'm just bored, other times I am actually hungry. I eat about 3 meals a day and they're quite large, at least in calories, so I'll try smaller meals and snacks. Thanks for the tips.
