The numbers on the scale were up to 193 yesterday morning. Haven't
weighed today, but am upset with myself that I'm creeping back up this
way.

It's the Easter candy that's doing it. Plain and simple. But I haven't
yet thrown it out?? Am trying to steel myself to do that right this
very minute!!

Ugh. It's not even like I've been totally pigging out on it, either.
I'm only talking about a few small pieces a day, but when my usual
calorie intake is so low, any additional calories show up on the scale
immediately. Hate that.

What is your calorie intake?

I don't know, really. Haven't sat down to figure it out for a long
time, but with only one meal a day, and an occasional snack, it's pretty
darn low. I just don't have the appetite I used to and don't get
hungry very often.

I drink a cup of coffee with a little creamer in the morning, then maybe
a kiwi or mango or string cheese in the afternoon if I've been working
hard or get hungry. Sometimes have a Coke during the day, but not too
often. Dinner usually includes two different kinds of vegetables to go
with whatever else we're having, and I load up on those because I know I
need to get some nutrionally decent foods in, but my portions are
nowhere near what I used to eat. If I get hungry later in the evening,
I'll have a cup of yogurt or more fruit.

Maybe I'll take a look at a week's worth of meals and figure out how
many calories I eat. It's frustrating that just a few pieces of
chocolate would make such a difference in my weight!

Yesterday I was back down to 189 again, though, so tossing the candy was
the right thing to do. : )
