Oolala, I understand your concern about media's influence on women and their quest for thinness. I am by no means chasing after that. My goal is to be a good example of moderation to my 4 children and have a satisfying and joyful "relationship" with food. I also value "feeling" comfortable in my clo...

I want to share this in hopes that this might be of help to someone here. I highly recommend that we as unique individuals do a study of 1. N=1 experiment. After 15+ of searching for THE answer I realized most of my troubles came from researching and looking at studies. I read studies, read blogs, b...

When my lower abdomen is noisy/growly I know it's food digestion, but when I experience a feeling of a growl/emptiness/ a burning sensation below my breast bone/upper stomach area I know it's true physical hunger. I guess after years of experimentation I know what true physical hunger feels like in ...

LG! I wanted to chime in. In my case, I find that if I don't experience either/or any burning sensation/empty gut feeling/growling between my three meals I am either gaining or maintaining. As soon as I "engineer" my meals in a way to experience physical hunger at lunch and/or dinner I am losing. Th...

Hi Jen! I am a lurker who posts occasionally. I read your entry today and felt a voice of desperation. I wanted to offer my .2 cents. Take it or leave it. You want to establish habits but you also desire to lose fat by summer. I see that you practice Vanilla NoS. Prior to trying Vanilla NoS this Jan...

Hi there! I too found NoS through Eat Like a Normal Person website. I find her advice to be helpful in terms of three meal structure BUT she is ok with snacks (fruit) IF needed. Also, she doesn't say one plate. Her approach is more intuitive, she encourages eating until full at those three meals. Fu...

Hi Life! All is well with me. I've had so many aha moments in this past week. I've been mulling over everything you've said about fat loss. In the past ten years I lived in a dieting haze. What you said about making peace with reduced calorie lifestyle to reach/maintain a slim body quieted the dieti...

Greetings Life! I am so glad I reached out to you last week. I realized that I slowly drifted to eating foods that are "good" for me.

I can relate to what you said, " I'd love to have another streak like that, not for weight loss but more for the sanity of eating in a way I'm proud of (: " Eating when it's not my meal time makes me spiral out of control especially if I snack on fruits.
