don't weigh yourself every day. Once a week, same day, same time, naked (optional), before breakfast.
If you haven't done it, try making a list of every single thing you eat or drink during the day and the calories of each food.....labels or estimate. You will find it takes a lot to make the 3500 calories per day.
Go to a web site and find how to measure your metabolic rate. This will allow you to determine what your average daily calorie consumption should be. And then if you stay under that number you will be burning more calories than you put in.
AND if you do not currently partake of some active exercise you need to start doing something. The easiest is walking. Yes it is boring but it does have the effect the body needs to increase metabolism, lower your heart rate, etc.
Then do not vary from the routine.
There are times when we go out to dinner that I order my favorite dessert, carrot cake and coffee for my entre'....about the same as having the main dish/salad/etc.
The food you do eat should have high Fibre....fibre....fibre....fibre.
No eating after 8 PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
