@ bunsofaluminum - thanks. I wish my parents were a bit closer, but when we looked for a place for them they wanted to stay in the area they were familiar with and did not want to chose a location close to hubby and I. Your are fortunate to have your mom close by. It only takes one fall for the elderly to become dependent on someone.
Weight this morning - 140.0 --- surprise! I had to step on the scale a couple of times because I couldn't believe the number. I am mostly focusing trying not to binge with the snacking and trying to make that meal time last 20 minutes. Sometimes, I still feel hungry but I am finding that if I wait a bit eventually my mind catches up and tells me I had enough to eat.
It helps to stay busy so I am not so focused on wanting to stuff my face. Plus, I am also attempting to drink more so I am not dehydrated. I tend to snack more when I really just need more water. Other than the midnight snacking on those Pocky sticks, I am doing alright and staying in control. They are still in the house so that means I am exercising some self-control.
I managed to eat the mashed potatoes and stir fry vegetable mix for my meals yesterday. I added the riced cauliflower to the potatoes along with some onion and garlic powder. I did not bother with the chickpeas. I have one meal left so I will have that for breakfast.
