Hi, glad you have joined the crowd!
As you are following CALP, a couple of things come to mind.....and don't forget, this is my OPINION, not graven in stone LAW, okay?
What is in the dip for the celery? MSG, possibly? Sugar? Milk? Artificial sweetener?
How are the chicken wings prepared? Breading? Sauce? Artificial sweetener? MSG?
RM should start w/ at least 2 cups of salad or equivalent in vegetables, so your RM is a little scanty there. You probably had carbs in the soup, definitely in the pasta, cookies and chocolate, so you need more CM veggies to balance that out. And be sure that your protein is actually 1/3....it can be a bit short when the protein is in sauce or soup. I wouldn't worry too much about over-eating at RM, but more about a good balance. "RM" stands for "Reward Meal" after all, and you should enjoy it to the max! Read up in your CALP book on how to construct your RM and you'll do fine.
Did you drink anything all day? What was it?
Be absolutely certain that your RM does not extend beyond one continuous hour. This is
key .....violating this rule will cause cravings, hunger and weight gain!
And, not to get too personal, but are you having sufficient bowel movements? This can be very important. If you need to, take a mild laxative or some extra Vitamin C or anything you usually use to be sure everything is not staying around too long and weighing on the scale, okay?
Weigh only once a day. I do it when I think I am at my lowest possible weight for the day, first thing in the morning, after bathroom and before anything to eat or drink, record it and average it for the week. Averaging can be very helpful.....read up on this in your book. You may think you are not losing when you look only at day to day results, yet find that you are actually seeing a gradual loss from week to week.
Based on what I hear from others here, it doesn't seem to be at all uncommon for weight loss to be delayed as you switch to CALP. It can be affected by many things other than what you are eating.....TOM, medications, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), stress, previous dieting habits, lots of things. Be patient, get yourself on a really clean program of CALP and you should start seeing the scales drop soon.
Take a set of measurements right away and record them. Take them again about once a month. You may see decreased in these measurements even when you do not see a weight loss.
Above all, if you are succeeding on CALP you will see an end to desire to snack or binge on high-carb foods and very likely a decrease in your appetite, too. Many folks report a feeling of well-being or even an elation as they get clear on CALP. Stay tuned to your body in addition to the scales.
I didn't notice this before I started my response, but if you have not as yet started a journal, think about doing that. It gives you a place to talk to yourself and your friends to visit you in support. You can post your menus there or here, as you wish. You'll get feedback no matter where you put them.
Good job on starting CALP and coming here for help. There'll be a lotta other folks along real soon to help you, too! Take care....see you soon.
