How to lose weight--according to economists
This is a really interesting take on weight loss; more of behavioral economics view.

Yesterday was 21 days on habit! It's getting easier to remember that I'm the type of person who prefers to enjoy meals vs. snacking. :P I've lost about 9 pounds. I'm frustrated because it's been a week since I saw any movement on the scale. But I'm totally out of money to spend on food, so I'm eatin...

<SNIP> Those marshmallow 2 people do have the advantage that they don't feel as much tension over NOT having the target item, whatever it is, I believe. And they found the diversion tactics came to them rather naturally. Marshmallow 1 people may have to work at it more, including soldiering on befo...

@oolala53, the second marshmallow is from the famous study about self regulation. Waiting for the second marshmallow predicts better life outcomes. ;) Wikipedia The Stanford marshmallow experiment[1] was a series of studies on delayed gratification in the late 1960s and early 1970s led by psychologi...

January
I started using HabitCal. It's old school, but it's simple and I like that. Since the first of the year, I've had 6 GREEN days, 2 YELLOW, and 1 RED. I am also down 4.2 pounds, but I don't think that rate of weightloss is sustainable--I always drop like that the first week I do something new, then bo...

Learning to Savor
So here I am, starting up my own check-in thread. No idea if I'll keep with it, but journaling about a subject tends to lead to success for me: I think it keeps topics top-of-mind and, over time, lets me both amuse myself and learn from my past as I read through old posts and spot trends. Here is my...

Feels like home
Yep, the budget app is YNAB. Didn't want to name drop in my first post here, lest I seem spammy. I'm also using an older version & love it! And yes to looking up Patzer's journal. Jessiebird is also inspirational. On the Marie Kondo....I had to modify the "joy" bit. I don't remember who said it, but...

from senseless to savoring
In a bit of a cliche, I'm joining on New Year's Day. Not so much a resolution as a that I have the day off. I've been a yo-yo dieter all my life, even dabbling with eating disorders in my teens. In 2013, I lost over 60 pounds by cutting out sugar and cutting back on carbs, and kept it off for 3 year...
