This morning I weighed in at 173.5. This is lower than I've been in years and I am so hopeful I can continue to loose weight. My first goal is 167lbs by May 13. My doctor weighs me in on that day and my stats get checked. I am thinking I can do this!

Yes, not drinking, smoking and then eating empty calories is playing a huge role, but I added NAPS to my routine. I am wondering if they are a key here. I have napped quite a bit in the past few days. When I feel like stuffing my face in the afternoon, I've realized it's because I am TIRED and need to recharge. So instead of snacking - I'm napping. 2 hours past 2 days each - and the first day I napped I slept for 8 hours then went to bed for the night. I was that exhausted.

Maybe my body needed a reset?

When I nap in the afternoon, I am not exhausted at night.
Not being exhausted at night I don't feel the need to drink, smoke, and over eat.
I have the ENERGY to see my bad patterns and avoid them.
I have don't feel the need to zone out.
