Well, I was right about it being an "I want to eat all day" kind of a day. Calories topped out at 2,874 - and that was with eating LESS than I wanted to have! I'm not really "dieting" per se - I'm just recording my food to be aware of how many calories I'm consuming. Logging is helping me to have a little more control of the quantity of food I'm eating.
With this week long allergy flare-up, my throat has stayed irritated from coughing my head off. I feel like having food going down my throat calms it somewhat and makes it feel a little better - thus, I want to be eating ALL the time. Though I have been drinking at least eight 8-oz bottles of water every day, I still am drinking at least 2 liters of Diet Coke. I have a deeply ingrained upbringing that when I am sick, I get to eat/drink whatever I want. Doctor appointment on Wednesday, and hopefully he can give me something to eliminate the allergy symptoms.
I tried the Vicks VapoRub someone suggested on my knees yesterday. Didn't seem to help any, but I enjoy just smelling it. Is there anybody else who's mother used to have them SWALLOW some Vicks when you had a chest cold? My mom would rub it on our chest and neck, but also have us swallow about 1/2 tsp. of it. I know that is NOT recommended now, but I wonder if it was a recommendation back then (or if my mother was just weird?)
Ok, going to try to go back to bed now (after having been awakened by coughing).Bad thing about waking up during the night is that the first thing I do when I wake up is get something to eat. Today, I ended up eating slices of Dave's Killer Good Seed Bread with Butter FOUR times. Last month, I was probably eating it 5-6 times a day, but in the past couple of weeks, I had cut down to 2-3 times daily. It's a very soothing, comforting food for me.
Walking today is 3.3 miles.

Make sure you get checked out by doctor. Also chicken noodle soup is great to eat while sick and lower in calories. Chockem and stars soyp by Campbell's one of my favorites

Thanks for the suggestion @Maine Coon. I've got some in the pantry. I'll have to remember that as an option.

Jolly Rancher cinnamon Fire sticks help with the allergy cough and throat. Cheaper than food calories!

Nope, never swallowed Vick’s Vapor Rub. Do you eat when you wake up in the middle of the night because your hungry, or is it just a habit you’ve fallen into?

If I wake in the night I never eat. I may have in the past had a cup of tea or hot chocolate to sooth myself back to sleep. I struggle to eat early even if I wake at a normal time. Always coffee first then breakfast a bit later....usually late morning except when I have an appointment & need to eat & get out of the house. Debbie, try a hot drink or broth if you feel the need for overnight sustenance.

Hang in there, Debbie. I am also topping 2000 too regularly. We'll get back there.

Debbie, have you considered other methods available to lose weight, like seeing a therapist or hypnosis? You lost a lot of weight before when you had a goal (money), so maybe there is an event coming up that has a deadline that could be used for motivation? Also, everyone on FS has a different "Rock Bottom" moment, like not fitting into clothing, seeing a picture of oneself, having a stroke or heart attack, or having a doctor plainspeak about your life expectancy based on lab results. What is your kick-in-the-pants?

Debbie, people could have easily thought Vick's was okay to swallow. It may have been then. Our foods and medications have had so many additives over the decades. So, She wasn't weird. Just seems that way now. Funny the things we remember about "back then!" I also suffer from allergies. Gargling with warm salt water and drinking tea with honey. Bone Broth is soothing and also low cal. and surprisingly filling. I hope some of this helps.

Yes, my grandmother (who raised me) put Vick's up my nose, in my mouth, on my neck and chest, with a hot flannel on chest, then rubbed the bottoms of my feet and a warm iron to warm my feet. We didn't have heating pads. I did the same for my son. He is now 64. Debbie, I use to raid the frig every nite around 2 am. I finally broke the habit by not giving in. I spent many nights tossing and turning but it broke the habit. In life, you have to decide what is important or not. Your health is the most important thing to you and your family. My caregivers keep sodas, candy and all sorts of snacks. I have to be strong and ignore. They are all overweight and diabetic, but they have to change when they ar ready. I pray the best for you in your endeavors.

PS I hope the Dr. can give you something to relieve your sore throat. I know the pain coughing even swallowing can bring.

YIKES! I just read the Vicks VapoRub bottle, and it says, "If swallowed, get medical help or call a poison control center." Maybe it had less dangerous ingredients back in the 50's when my mom was having me swallow it. Maybe she wanted to get rid of me. (Just kidding!)
