Everyday Systems

This is what my habitcal looks like right now: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5932/habittrackerjh7.jpg A bit depressing. But some of those reds really are for a few nibbles during dinner prep. Yesterdays red went like this. I normally have 4 small meals but because of my schedule yesterday I tri...

I have also zero'd in on this idea with my times slightly different. In my case, I just cannot eat very much at a meal because of stomach surgery. Today I tried this approach (4 small meals) and my 6 1/2 inch dessert plate seems just about the right size for my meals. I'm on week two and was in desp...

I am quite new but just wanted to offer up my "weigh" plan. I actually think it would be better not to weigh at all but for someone like me who will go crazy w/o *some* numbers, I plan on weighing once a month. Here's the big thing for me: the day in my cycle (sorry guys - you don't get this joy). T...

Well, the silliest diet I ever tried actually did work a bit so I guess it isn't that silly but it is cringe worthy. In 7th grade (wayyyyyyyyyy back when), I had already tried various diets as best I could being 12/13 years old. This was pre internet days and I was on my own in this realm. I tried d...

I am new enough to not realize this so now I can be on guard.

Hands down it is snacking. It is very hard for me right now. I cannot eat much at meals. I am doing 4 meals and it is STILL hard. Some of it is actual hunger. I had my 2nd meal (I call it first lunch) at noon and was quite hungry by 2 PM. I will have my second lunch in a bit. I get overfull if I hav...

Me. Sort of. I didn't have gastric bypass. I had the vertical sleeve gastrectomy which is a smaller, different shaped stomach but no malabsorption. I have decided to try No S with 4 meals a day instead of 3. I think if I tried 3, I wouldn't get enough nutrition or I would confusal myself by trying t...

Yeah, I was surprised I didn't eat as much as I thought I would on the weekend. We were quite busy, so mostly I didn't have a chance. I went to the store on Sat and kept thinking it was my time to get something special but I didn't do much. I got a package of Bit O Honeys but forgot about them until...

But I read Newsweek and Jane Austen too, if that redeems me. I read the article Wed night. Then I did something I have never ever done. I started the diet on Thursday. Yep. Thursday. I didn't even wait until Monday. Then I cheated the first day. :roll: I'm not beating myself up. I just came face to ...
