Everyday Systems

Let's call this Day 0 again... I had a string of failures for about 2 weeks (not because of Thanksgiving). So far OK today... had a regular breakfast of eggs and toast. This diet can be hard to stick with at times compared to eating whatever you see - not saying much - but this habit of self-restrai...

Wednesday: SUCCESS - Day 1

Day 2 - good so far

Monday: SUCCESS

Tuesday: FAILURE, but happy election day!

I think I'll start numbering my days in an attempt to get to 21!

Wednesday: SUCCESS
Thursday: SUCCESS! - skipped dessert at a meeting in the evening.
Friday: Halloween S-Day (we don't trick or treat, but there will be a party tonight).

This week was better than last week - great! I am hoping to get into the 21 day club one of these days

Monday: FAILURE (or NWS) Tuesday: SUCCESS Wednesday: SUCCESS so far. Monday's failure went like this: we had a friend over and I made Korean food, and then my husband surprised us with a red bean dumplings dessert that he pulled out of the freezer and steamed for us. (Like baodze maybe?) Anyway, it ...

Borderline/failures the last 3 days.... small (like eating a few tomatoes I had just roasted for garden preservation, or tasting a few bites too many of the sweet potatoes I was mixing up, or just a few bites of the kids' leftovers... but failures indeed) until today, when I had dessert after the ki...

Tuesday: SUCCESS Breakfast: Oatmeal with PB, brown sugar, milk Lunch: Salad, sweet potato, crackers, string cheese, a few bites of my daughter's leftover quesadilla Dinner: Autumn vegetable stir-fry (baby turnips, mixed greens, sweet peppers, chicken broth, etc.), steamed rice Borderline behavior: I...

I am still struggling with snacks. That has always been the worst for me too, and not just when things are out on the counter... I almost always know what is in my pantry, fridge, AND freezer. So I have to watch what is in the house, and also try to get "snobbier" about what I think is a worthwhile...

Monday: SUCCESS Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices homemade toast with butter, jam on one of them, coffee Lunch - fried eggs over spinach, 1 pc. toast, string cheese, 1/4 PB & honey sandwich (kids leftover, I expected & budgeted) Dinner - baked sweet potato with butter, big yummy salad (spinach, fet...

We lost internet access for most of the week, so I would have checked in, but couldn't. But last week was actually really good! Monday: SUCCESS Tuesday: SUCCESS Wednesday: SUCCESS Thursday: SUCCESS Friday: EXEMPT (my birthday was on Friday!) That's the 2nd NWS day of the month - not sure if I will b...

It has not been a flying start this last week for me. Last Monday was a SUCCESS , but after that there were always "little" failures - Tuesday I ate extra crackers after lunch, Thursday I had seconds after dinner. We had houseguests, so we did make dessert on Friday night when we had a special dinne...

Merry: True, putting things right into the freezer is not a bad idea. Mine happens to be full at the moment (of local produce, a casserole, some soups, etc. - plus I overstocked on some cheap cheese), but I can deal with that. Gotta stop overbuying (we live in the country, so I like to stock up, but...

NO leftovers -- good thought. My husband and I like to have leftovers for lunch much of the time, but even factoring that in, I still don't need to be cooking any 9x13 pans full for dinner.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm a mom of 3 young kids, getting ready to start the No S Diet again. I don't need to lose weight really, but I am discouraged at my apparent lack of self-control. I am relatively young, and I don't want to be caught off guard when my metabolism slows down around 35, as I hear it will. I'm hopi...
