I didn't feel that hungry when I ate dinner.  And I ate my whole plate, and got a second smaller plate, which I could not finish and actually had to throw away quite a bit.  I shouldn't have ate as much as I did.  

I felt extremely tired after eating.  I could have fallen asleep right away.  This is not a normal feeling for me, but I read about it in the forums all the time.  A lot of people talk about eating dinner and being so tired they cant function. 

9:00pm

• Bedtime   

RESULTS

GAINED 0.2 lbs

Its interesting when I have a gain.  In the past, I would have been very upset, wondering what I did wrong.  Instead, I'm a bit disappointed, but it doesn't bother me and I know exactly what I did wrong (ate when I wasn't that hungry).  I'm not the least bit upset about it, and know there is always tomorrow.  

This is a completely different mindset from my past.
