snack: this is what kills me -- usually around 3pm I am starving so I have some string cheese and crackers or something like that. Some days I just snack way too much at this point so I am trying to be very mindful here!!

dinner: I mealplan every night, and I have a normal portion of whatever we have - usually a protein/starch/veggie. Tonight it was mahi mahi, rice and steamed veggies.

I try extraordinarily hard not to snack after dinner at all (except for maybe a few times a year a dessert or some popcorn with a movie). I also drink a ton of water through the day - my goal is 48 oz/day. Trying to limit diet soda to 2 cans a day.

If I could follow your lead D I woould feel better I think...
