On 450 calories today and need some help getting through this evening!

I'm on 1,000 calories a day now. Dropped from 1,200 after losing weight at that and then plateauing. However on a Monday I only taken in 450 calories to make up for the extra calories I usually eat at the weekend. It's not impossible - I make a soup with some protein in it, blend it, and drink it throughout the day.

Luckily I don't have any tempting food in the house (lots of chocolate but I'm more of a savoury person and am also good at resisting temptation). However I'm due to do a food shop after work this evening and I will need some help and motivation not to throw myself on the yogurts and fruit when I get back home.

Can anyone share their tips to avoid temptation when you're hungry? I will be going to be early and watching TV to chill before hand. But any tips to avoid stepping into the kitchen and undoing the hard work from today? Thank you!

I didn't even clock op's dress size. She's far from overweight, though.

That's the thing, a healthy weight is a large range to account for peoples different frames.

A healthy weight for me is anything for 7st 3 upto 9st 10 so being a healthy weight can look very different depending where on the scale you are. They OP is not far off my height.

I'm not overweight but I have a belly, back fat and a muffin top. I'd rather not have any of those hence dieting.

You'll have a better time of it and get better results to do some strength training and not cut to 1000 calories if you're in a healthy weight, because you want to lose the fat, and just cutting weight will also lose your muscle mass.
