Got in a rut, scrambling to snap out of it

I don't know. I just didn't work out for like three days (weekend). I still noted my food intake but it was so odd to me that the more I didn't follow my routine, the more I wanted to just not do it.
I'm consistently weighing daily and checking in on fitclick but when I'm wanting a snack, I almost become an animal! I can't eat fast enough! I tend to want to snack when I'm watching a show on t.v.
Solutions? Continue doing what I know that is right. Tracking food intake and workout (even if it is only two miles a day). Keep snacking healthy. Keep reading articles to teach me about metabolism, burning calories, etc. Drink MORE water. I've noticed my portion sizes have decreased. Yeah! THAT is amazing, except when I lost control and snacked crazy the other night.
Ate out with co-workers today and wanted SO BAD to eat something bad for me but I ate a grilled chicken salad with a couple Tablespoons of dressing. I'm glad I did right, looking back.
Instead of staying up late watching t.v. and keeping my options open to snack more, I am going to get more sleep.
I'm discouraged but not devastated. I still feel like I have a handle on losing weight and being healthier. Just got in a rut and now I'm pulling myself out of it.
Scale shows I've lost six pounds. I feel like I'm so skinny (even though I'm not!) :o) Holding on to this feeling to keep me motivated to continue to lose weight and GAIN energy!
