I meant to have a lovely chicken and veg stir fry instead of beans of toast but work was awful today so no chance to go out and buy stuff.

Eaten loads today, and not exactly good choices either. No suppression today it feels. Took 4th 2.5mg jab yesterday morning.

Gave the half of my chocolate cake I bought on Sunday at the posh bakery to DH. I ate half on Sunday, really enjoyed it at the time, but didn't feel the need to eat the rest. Pre MJ there's no way he'd even have got a bite of it 😂

Coffee, water, peppermint tea, electrolytes, clear whey

L: hot and sour chicken soup, crackers with cheddar, square of dark choc

S: handful of peanuts

D: liver stroganoff

Large lunch / snack was due to receiving some news, so I'm definitely not out of the woods when it comes to emotional eating.

That's not a large lunch. Honestly don't worry. If a friend said they ate soup, crackers and 1 square of choc would you think they overate or comfort ate? Nope.

Oh yes it's not that it's a huge amount @Midlifecrisisxamillion, I just mean I was full and knew I was full but ate the cheese and crackers and then peanuts as an emotional reaction. I knew what I was doing even while I was doing it. The soup and a bit of chocolate was plenty for me today. I'd like not to do that at all really, but I guess it's not the end of the world when it's just a couple of hundred extra calories, it would probably have been a couple of thousand before MJ.

My worry is that if I don't find a way to avoid that kind of eating, it will be a couple of thousand extra again one day when I come off the medication.

B: decaf black coffee

L: bagel, 2 x eggs scrambled on one half, marmite and avocado on the other

I weirdly ate loads today. I'm ill (covid), pre menstrual, knackered after a tough week of solo parenting, took the kids to 2 chaotic parties and 8 weeks on the same level (7.5). But when I totted it all up in MFP, I'm still just under 2,000 cals. I don't think I've eaten this much for over 6 months.
Sorry, I know it's not the point of this thread but portions, volume and snacking is completely different to what it was before. I can't think to eat over 2,000 cals. It seems impossible now.

B: Chicken noodle soup with egg & sweetcorn
L: Chicken saag masala
D: Panko prawns, pickles, mayo, brioche

Coffee, ginger tea, electrolytes, water, bitter lemon
