I am recording a gain, again! There is no mystery where this came from in that I have been eating consistently above my calorie window 6 days out of 7. So no sleuthing needed there.
I am eating well for breakfast and lunch. Around 4 pm I am getting a bit peckish. Usually have a little homemade yogurt. Sometimes it hits the spot in that I am no longer looking for something to eat but sometimes not so much. Supper at 6 and that is when it starts. After I eat it doesn't feel like quite enough so I get a bit of yogurt and that mostly helps. Operative word is 'mostly'. I start picking at things. I don't have a lot available in the house so it has been things like dates (they are nearly gone), slices of cheese especially cream cheese, peanut butter/nutella (both bought for a specific recipe and now too much left over) and crackers (all gone now).
I need to find a substantial snack that I like, fills me up and is relatively low in calories. In my heart of hearts what I 'want' is a piece of cake or a cookie or two. Not where I want to go! I believe I need a protein of some sort. I need to think on this.
In the meantime I am 6 pounds more than my lowest weight and I am not satisfied with this state of affairs.
This week I continued with snowshoeing. Very enjoyable however about 3 days ago I managed to lose my phone somewhere on the track. Since then I have brushed the snow between the two locations of where I know I last had it and where I know I didn't have it. Yesterday I raked the area. No luck. Texting has been a good way for me to stay in touch with a number of people so I am feeling somewhat at a loss and cut off at the same time. One thing that is good is that I have been out on my snowshoes for an hour at a time looking for the phone instead of 20 minutes!

Carol - go out on your path and ask a friend or family member to call your phone at 2 minute interval until you answer. That should help you track it down as long as the ringer is on and the battery has some charge. Good Luck !

Thanks Crazycatchick. I did do this within the half hour of realizing I had lost it. It didn't make a sound. I was in my back silent 10 acres so I absolutely should have heard it. Since then every morning it has been -17F so I am pretty sure the battery is totally dead! I can only assume that it is buried in the snow and I have walked over it on my snowshoes and have packed the snow on top. I did try raking the path in the hopes of finding it just under the packed snow. No luck. I think I have to just accept that it is gone until after the snow thaws.

you be are not alone in this eating thing. I have no problems in the morning and afternoons staying on course but let night time hit and my mind starts going off. Sugar, salt, sugar, salt. it's so hard for me with this lockdown stuff. it seems like all they talked about on TV is food food food. I don't want to come out of this weighing 300 lb. I know I got to keep focused or I'm going to lose it. I do a lot of praying but at night time it's so hard. we can do this hunny.

Clairsheart - thank your for your understanding. I really need to get a handle on this thing. I am thinking not eating anything will lead to me eating everything in sight so I have to figure out what to eat that will stop me from eating more and more. I do feel it is around sugar as I have tried salt and it just doesn't touch the need! I also feel protein will keep me satisfied -- sweet protein???

I am so sorry you lost your phone...I would be lost. This is a rough time for all of us in one way or another, and your honesty is honestly a reflection of how I feel too. I'm up 3, but I've been feeling much more in control and stable this week. Hang in there! How beautiful that you have so much room to snowshoe! That is amazing exercise! I did growing up in snow country.

Sorry about your phone! For me, setting one up to the point where I like it is a PITA, same with a new lap top. And I get ya on the evening snacking. That was always my hardest time. What helped me was having a small dessert planned. Sometimes just a caramel or even a piece of fruit. Good luck finding what works for you!

Melissatwa- it is so odd to be feeling in general control for a year and then start fraying around the edges. Goes to show we are constantly changing and have to find ways to rock and roll through our personal changes and the changes happening in the greater community. I am fortunate to have a large space to wander in. I had to remind myself that there was much I could do literally in my backyard!

LZenn- I am so darn frustrated by the phone thing. I was a major holdout in not having anything to do with cell phones. I didn't want to be so accessible 24/7. Then Dave got ill and the family prevailed that they needed to keep in contact with me. They were right. The phone was an essential tool. Texting was the best in passing the same messages to multiple friends. It is insidious. Now I was using it as a timer during exercise, a device to listen to story tapes from the library and a way to keep in contact with a variety of friends who do not have access to a landline and have intermittent cell service. I can't believe how much I am missing the darn thing.

On the snack front my sister came up with a couple of ideas that I am going to put into action. The first is meat sticks - pre- portioned and a protein hit. The second is rice crackers with antipasto. I think those might do the trick. At least they are a good place to start!

Hope you find your phone. Cottage cheese is a good snack for me
