I run a small fod business, so I'm around fresh bread and soup all day. For 14 months I weighed my real lunch, drank water when the 2pm lull hit, and quit treating unsold pastries as a perk.
This morning the scale read 158.6, the first number inside my target range. I expected confetti; instead I felt quiet and made a normal egg sandwich. The pull hasn't vanished. I still want to graze when the afternoon rush ends.
What's one ordinary workday rule that survived your goal weight for you?
the quiet after the number hits is so real. When I first got under 160, I expected fireworks; instead I made a plain turkey wrap and felt weirdly flat.
I regained 18 lbs after that, partly because I’d tied all my structure to the scale and then stopped weighing lunches when I “graduated.” This time I’m keeping the boring rituals and adding a nightly note of one non-scale win. For a food business, what’s your plan for the 2pm lull now that the scale isn’t handing out confetti?
Still water, or something else?
