More than anything else, I suspect my shying away from alcohol has been of great benefit to me. I'm down another 2# since starting this post. And that's after I went to a Ball Sat night. Much alcohol and cake were eaten. After lunch Sunday didn't eat again until Tues lunch. It was a light lunch of stir fried veggies and I only picked at the rice. My guess <300 cals.
I've been eating only cashews, pistachios or peanuts for dinner ~160 cal's each time. My lunches yesterday and today were horrible ~1000 cal's each. Hot wings are my weakness and one does not try a new soul food restaurant and ignore the smothered fried pork chops, red beans, and rice & gravy. I did stick with water tho.
