Fat check in -  Since hitting 167 last year, I have gained 5 lbs and am now at 172.  I'm pretty sure that I have entered the phase of "THE JOURNEY" where the body is trying like a motherfucker to put back on the weight it no longer carries.. It is more efficient with the calories it is given - so fewer are needed day-to-day.. That in itself would not be that big a deal, but it also is conjuring up HUNGER.  I'm way hungrier now..  When you combine where I am in "THE JOURNEY" with the sheer amount of snack foods laying around the house for the shorties - well - I gotta say - it ain't fun.. M&M's, chips, cookies, cake, candy bars, bread, muffins, jellies - they all mock me from their perches on shelves in the pantry and in the fridge.. "You're going to fail." they say... "You were always going to fail..." they say.. "What's the point anyway??"  I have had only one episode where I ate candy - it was over Easter (of course).. I've had nothing since.  ~
