Okay, fine, I pinky promise this time! DTL gets rid of the podge

Thanks! Am feeling better, just don't have my appetite back yet.

First time I've noticed a little less podge too so I'm pleased

I bought some Ben and Jerry's ice cream yesterday, and today would have been the perfect day to have some. I came back from town and it was really warm and sunny, perfect ice cream weather. But I resisted because if I have some today, that means again on Sunday I won't have a treat. Am proud of myself

Progress is not linear.

Agreed, which is why I'm not super upset about it. And I can see where I kind of went backwards. Yeah I wasn't snacking on unhealthy stuff but I was still consuming more than I really needed. I think I just need to get used to the fact that I won't always faint just because I'm hungry, and if I get hungry at 4pm, I can manage without a snack or something until dinner at 6pm. I'll get there eventually

Saw the title of the thread initially, and got super confused. Thought that a podge was some sort of creature you were trying to get out of your house or something :P

Seriously though, it's great to see how much you're committing to this, and I wish you the best of luck in doing so! ^^

If you are hungry it means you need food. You can replace the junky snack with a portion of fruit or a veggie. Being hungry can be equally unhealthy to eating more than you need, it may even make you eat more than you really need.

why u telling us for. i go to gym alot too but i wouldnt broadcast the chit i do to the world

Even if you didn't work out this week, it seems that your metabolism is building.

Of course, the exercise definitely helps with burning the podge faster, but as long as you're moving about a lot day to day, you're still going to be naturally burning some calories, which is a bonus.
