The older I get, the more I find a savoury breakfast (bread, meat/egg, cheese) with a little fruit is the best kind of breakfast. Having muffins, or bread with jam, or other sweet things just isn't as satisfying. I wanted to add a cereal caveat. In the winter, when its cold, I like having hot cereal...

I haven't had cereal for breakfast in years. I have the same (similar) issue as Carole - it gets soggy way too fast, and I can't stand milk.

Yep. For example, the apple sandwich. You peel off the outside skin and slice it long-ways. You put mayo, not Miracle Whip, on the bread. Lay the apple slices on one slice of the bread, maybe sprinkle a little salt if you like, and put the other slice on top and enjoy. It is a crunchy, sweet/tart, ...

You might like this Eowyn Challenge, that tells you how far you've travelled, as if you were walking from Bag End to Rivendell.
I confess that I don't keep good enough track of my steps, so I have no idea how far I've walked. I'm probably not out of the Shire yet, though.

One little thing that helped me get past the hump was that whenever I was feeling like I was 'starving' I would tell myself (quite firmly) that there were lots of people in the world who got along with just one meal a day, or who were actually starving. I wasn't. I had a nice meal waiting for me at ...

You have a couple of options. 1) Stick it out, drinking lots of water, chewing gum, fidgeting, etc. Leave any food items at home, and don't bring any money to buy any. That's what I did last week when I had some late dinners - lunch at 12:30, dinner after 9:00 pm. I found once I'd reached a certain ...

Thanks for the encouragement Reinhard. Yesterday I was out shopping with my mom, and I took the time to explain the No-S thing to her again, and I think I did a better job. She's still worried I'm 'depriving' myself somehow by not getting the 'occasional treat' - S days notwithstanding - but I just ...

Hi!! I found the first week of 'no snacking' to be the worst - I was feeling 'hungry' less than two hours after lunch. Lunch time snacking was my big pitfall. Now, while the cravings are still there, its much easier to ignore, and they are hitting later and later each afternoon. I find chewing gum a...

Oh, yeah, chewing gum helps a lot with fooling my mouth into thinking its eating. I'm rather oral, always putting something in my mouth (it took a long time to wean myself off of the 'chewing pencils habit'). After all, what's better - a piece of sugar-free gum, or a bag of chips or a chocolate bar?...

Deb I know this is your thread but if I could hi-jack it for a sec... Don't let a picture of yourself throw you off. Lighting, the angle of your body, the angle of the camera, how the clothes you're wearing 'hung' or 'hugged' you at that moment - all of it can affect how 'fat' you look in a photogra...

A one egg western omelet on toast. (Western omelet = ham, green pepper, and onion) I have mine with cheese. Regionalisms are funny. I can walk into any local restaurant and ask for a 'western' and they know that I want a western omelet sandwich. But if I want the omelet, and not the sandwich, I have...
