Really Fighting Hunger

It seems that my natural inclination on a diet is about 2100 calories (and yes, now I can see how I was exceeding to about 2700, which explains my weight).

I think I may only lose 1 lb this week…I thought I saw .5 this morning, but it was pre-coffee, so who knows what that was ; ).

I know I will have to look at my reality and judge what I can do differently.  I can’t run more to burn better (too hard on my knees to do more than 1-2x a week).  But I can change certain food choices to cut calories.  We’ll see.

Meantime, it’s 4:30, work is over in 30 minutes, I have an hour drive home, and in spite of indulging in crackers and peanut butter…I am hungry.
