success failure success The failure on Wednesday was due to a cuban coffee which I do consider to be a sweet, but then as usual, I kept going once I failed. I've gained two pounds this past week. I think that I may need to reevaluate my portion sizes and I also need to look at the issues around my ...

failure success Monday I met some friends at the beach. I drank one of their sodas before I realized that there was a water fountain not even 15 feet away. Yesterday I did much better even though I ate a whole Beef O Brady's cheeseburger at lunch (it did fit on one plate). I was aware that it was w...

failure It started with a homeschool group tour of wild oats. For some reason, I wasn't thinking about samples so I had lunch beforehand. Somewhere between the cheese and the 2 bite cupcakes I decided this was going to be a failure day and I was going to thoroughly enjoy it. We went to a friends ho...

Down another 2 pounds. I like the way the no s diet shows where I have problems with food. I always thought that I was overweight because of my thyroid, but two years after treatment began, I was 15 pounds up. That is obviously not thyroid.

I'm not quite sure if it was a success when we ordered appetizers as well as entrees for dinner, but I ate about 1/3 of the dinner portion to compensate. The main reason I consider today a big success is that I wasn't hungry between meals!

So after I posted about that banana...there was the spoonful of ice cream, the couple of potato chips, the handful of fries, the cherry coke :oops: (you know, since it was failure already). This is the second diet I've tried (the first was five years ago) so experiencing a learning curve on dieting ...

I am very frustrated. Like Tuesday, I forgot and had two dates at a gardening trade show. Unlike Tuesday, I got frustrated and ate a banana because 'm so hungry.
