I have to admit, you guys still feel like family to me💕

Wifey... here's some teeny, tiny dishes for you! Working with "minis" is fun and I've made a few now and given them as gifts. The problem is that I spend too much time sitting in order to do them! Hence, it has contributed to my weight gain.😒

I'm not gonna lie, I've been completely self-indulgent with food since I quit smoking 2 Decembers ago. And I'm really not of the mind to get right back into the measuring/weighing routine that I successfully used before. I'm wondering if maybe I should try something completely different, like IF. Would I still be weighing and measuring everything? Advice please 🤔

Can't wait to see what healthy (or not!) treats you have planned for St. Patty's Day tomorrow!

Calorie in, calories out. Maybe do food prep once or twice a week so weigh and measure minimally. That is what I am trying this month.

Bottom line for me is I have lost weight many times counting calories over the years. Eventually I'd get tired of measuring & stop.....& gained weight. I have been successful for the first time in maintenance cause I continue to count calories. I do take short breaks from counting like vacations or a holiday here & there. I do like logging now cause I focus on macros as well as calories. I also believe interacting with others with a similar goal to get/ stay healthier has helped me stay on track.

I honestly feel the same way about this sight. Good people here. A few duds but mainly all good.

Thank you ALL for your positive feedback and helpful suggestions. I know I'm gonna have to dig the food scale out again soon, although the divided plate idea is intriguing. I have a mint green divided plate from Walmart that could very easily serve that purpose! And paying attention to macros is/was very good for me in the past too. Thanks again for all the encouragement💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Crystal I love miniatures because as a therapist I use them in sand tray therapy. I don’t usually make my own though. Adorable!
