This looks like a 0.4 pound loss but in fact it was much more! I ate too much at my daughter's birthday followed by eating sandwiches at a Board meeting followed by 'sneaky' calories of crackers and cheese all the while trying to regain lost ground! So this 0.4 loss is a big accomplishment!
My friend introduced me to a way of eating that is being promoted by a group. Much of what they are talking about resonates with me and of course some does not!
Anyway the part that resonated is about making eating automatic. This means knowing what you are going to eat for each meal, have it planned and ready to go so there is no decision making in the moment when we are hungry and tired. Batch cooking so it is easier to eat what is prepared than to order in or change the plan on the fly. The promoter speaks about automaticity.
I have been following those precepts for many years especially when I have been successful at weight loss or maintenance so I know it works. Anyway it prompted me to take a good look at what I have been doing. My breakfast is done and planned (check), my lunch is planned and I eat just that (check) the same thing with supper (check) and then there is the after supper time and occasionally the time between lunch and supper which somehow become crackers and cheese and I would say could easily account for 200+ calories which somehow I seldom tracked. That makes them 'sneaky' calories.
I also noticed that I kept my crackers in a particular cupboard where they were both easily visible and easily accessed. So the crackers have moved their location in my cupboard and my way to bed no longer is past that cupboard! I will make it automatic that I do not eat crackers and cheese as I go to bed! New habit in the making. As always, as my friend told me, first we make habits and then habits make us.
Wish me luck in replacing this cracker and cheese habit!

Carol- something I do is to take the crackers and snacky things out of the original package and put in a rubbermaid container or transfer to a reusable dark glass jar in the pantry or fridge. So I dont see a bag of chips or jar of salsa.....just a plastic or glass container. It also works great for the recycling since after a trip to the grocery store all the recyclables go out in one trip. I seldom have trash after that since I am a no food waste person. I also take 10 minutes every morning max to think about food choices for the rest of the day. It works for me!

Planning ahead is essential. Absolutely. I pretty much plan meals out a week in advance. Great job on the half pound!

Crazy Cat- those are really good ideas. I will need to think about whether to incorporate your suggestions. Right now the crackers are living behind some hot cereal boxes. For me to choose to have crackers it will mean that I will dig them out allowing time to think about what I am doing. I do like the recyclable aspect of your plan. I would say that I use about 10 min in the daily planning. On Tuesdays when I do my shopping list I plan my meals for the following week and on Thursdays after the grocery shopping I prepare the planned meals, portion them and freeze them. Then little to no thinking until the following Tuesday!

Hi LZenn- I appreciate your encouragement on the half pound. Sometimes the small losses represent so much more effort and work than the larger losses do! It is like getting two test scores back - one is 65% and the other is 95% -- but the 65% was way harder to earn than the 95% so you really celebrate the 65% and shrug off the 95%!
