I am down 10 lbs. WHEW! This has been really hard in that I've been hungry a lot and trying to find the right foods that won't send me into a binge-eating fit. I've done really well this week. As long as I eat meat protein and carbohydrates for dinner, I do really well. If I try to eat meat and vegetables (the less carby ones like green beans or spinach) for dinner, I am over the top binging by bedtime. If I eat something like a lean pork loin sandwich on diet wheat bread (with high fiber), then I am fine all evening. I used to go to Luby's cafeteria and eat baked chicken, green beans, and cabbage and every time I'd be ravenous by bedtime. But I've discovered if I add a roll to that meal, I am fine. Of course that adds 130 calories for the roll, so I have to be very careful what I actually eat. That's the part that is really hard, finding just the right combination of food that will taste good, satisfy me, and not set me off into a binging frenzy. I have problems with hunger if I don't eat the right combination for lunch, but I won't go off on a binging frenzy like after dinner. That is probably partly because I am usually at work and can't binge too much there.
