Mid-week motivation - how are you holding up today?

Open thread for today, say whatever's on your mind, big or small.

Thirsty yes, but for me it's ice. I'm chewing it constantly and my dentist is going to have opinions

The thirst thing is real for me too, I keep a jug on my desk now and it's basically a habit I didn't plan on

honestly, the thirst thing hit me too, I've got a jug on my desk now that I never would've bothered with before.

Wednesday is usually my crash day and today was no different, dragged myself out for a short walk just to break the slump

Five weeks matches what I saw too, the food noise went quiet well before my actual appetite caught up

The quiet head showed up for me before the appetite part did too, weird order but I will take it. Anyone else notice the food noise going first?

I keep waiting for the noise to fade and it's still there most mornings. Curious whether the people who saw it later also had it quiet down at night first, or was it just sudden one day

I'm in a lull today, nothing dramatic, just flat and a bit bored with the whole routine. Weekends are easy for me and Wednesdays are where I run out of steam.

Today was a wash for me, ate lunch standing up over the sink and barely noticed. Better than the old days though

The evening craving window shrinking is the part I noticed most too, mine used to start right after dinner and now it barely registers some nights.

Mine still hits around 4pm but it's more of a passing thought than a real pull now.

Mine are still more like 20 minutes and mostly right before dinner, but that beats the all-day noise I had earlier.

Mid-week is where mine gets weird, the food noise goes quiet for a day then comes back loud on Thursday. Nine pounds down and I still have no pattern figured out

Mine's gone quiet in the afternoons mostly, still loud around 9pm though. Anyone else find the evening is the last bit to settle?

Mine are less like knocks now and more like a passing thought I notice and forget. The evening ones used to be the worst for me, those are pretty much gone.

Only a few lbs in and the evening noise is still pretty loud for me, so it helps seeing you all further along describe it fading. Does it taper off gradually or just sort of stop one day?
