I've been lurking here for a while. Found this site through a reference to shovelglove on a raw food website of all things.
I'm at a lean weight for my height (lost 20 pounds over the past year just by not eating past 7:30 at the latest, usually stop eating around 6), long time runner and exerciser. Have been through some pretty strict diet and exercise regimens in my past. Perhaps as a result of those, I have a rebellious nature.

So here's what I've done so far:
Sunday was a trial run and was a success.
Monday was a failure (dessert with friends).
Tuesday was a great success.
Today was a failure. Allowed myself to get too hungry and near some Halloween candy. It was ugly.
Exercised every day but today. I've found it amazingly easy not to snack, but then I wonder if that's the reason why I'm starving by later in the day. Also, my weakness during PMS has always tended to be the sweet stuff. I keep telling myself that tmw is another day, Scarlett. But I'm wondering if the reason I've failed in those two days was too light on the eating for breakfast and lunch. Can anyone give me an idea of plate sizes they use for those two meals? I'm a 5'6 female, so I won't need as much food as the guys.
