Everyday Systems

Still hanging on. I have only been able to get two Green days weekly. I haven't given up though.

Monday Red
Tuesday Red

Two green days this week. Next week I will aim for three or more green days. Baby steps.

oolala, I haven't been consistent with HabitCal. I need to use it.

Green

I have had a hectic couple of weeks. I really want to start checking-in daily again. Things have calmed down so I should be able to do it. I definitely haven't had an all green week yet, but I haven't given up. My goal is to have a full green week! :shock: Today I had a big ole bowl of pudding as a ...

Thanks oolala. I do intend to keep experimenting. I realize now that I had been limiting my portions at meals (maybe subconsciously thinking that it would help me lose weight) and then I struggled to make it to the next meal. The only problem with snacking is that it was hard for me to stop. I would...

This week was interesting. I had a few good days and a few bad ones. I think the idea that I picked up from that website works. I just have to find the right combination of foods to keep me full (that also fit my budget and schedule). I can't follow all of her food recommendations. I still think it ...

What kind of things do take to work for lunch?

**Warning! This is a long post.** I came across this interesting website called Eat Like A Normal Person. This woman's idea is that we binge on sugar and junk food because we lack proper nutrition. We eat and eat and eat because we need nutrients. The junk provides calories but no nutrition. She be...

Thanks oolala. I am so glad you said that. It's weird because I was thinking about the very thing you mentioned before I logged on. I think going cold turkey is too hard for me right now. Tonight I will think about what might be a reasonable change. Thanks again!!

Very wise words. I must remember them as I journey into the land of No S

Hello Skycat. Thanks for the encouragement. My life long struggle has always been sweets...even when I wasn't fat I at too many of them. I cycle between giving up sweets completely to month long binge sessions. I felt guilty after having the milk shake on Sunday. There was a voice that said "You kno...

Well, I am off work for today and tomorrow because I have strep-throat. It hasn't hurt my No S plan because I barely have an appetite. I figured today would be a good day to start a journal. I appreciate all the people who shared their wisdom on my other post. I feel optimistic. Monday didn't go wel...

I read the original post yesterday. I understood what you were saying. I too have felt jealous of others weight loss. I have two family members who lost weight by doing very intense exercise. I almost felt like a failure because I knew I was not willing to do that ....no way. I knew the jealousy was...

Hello There is so much diet information on the web and in the library!!!! It seems like everyone has an opinion about what is healthy and what is not. It is hard to choose what to believe. This diet is almost like a breath of fresh air because you don't really have to believe anything. You just have...
