Hello, wife! I could have written your post. I have also come back after gaining weight, and although I didn't lose (much) on No S, it was the only time I have eaten normally in the last 33 years. (First diet was when I was 12.) Plus, on No S, I have peace of mind about food, something I can't even ...

Laura, that's a good thought. I normally eat on a smaller plate, but use the bigger one if I feel like it. I like the idea of having a smaller meal but still having three a day. Unfortunately, when I sleep so late, the third meal sometimes winds up being at 11 p.m., which I think is too late. If I e...

Spork, thanks for the encouragement! Actually, I've been having a kind of sorry month, which is why I stopped posting on this thread. I really did bite off more than I could chew, but I had done so well in August that I mistakenly thought I could keep it up forever. I guess I was just having beginne...

Mimi, so sorry to hear you're laid up! Hope you can enjoy being pampered by your loved ones--you'll be busy enough once your cast comes off! Seeing your picture makes me wonder what other people on here look like. Of course, I have mental pictures, but I'm probably pretty wide of the mark most of th...

KCCC, you are so kind. Just reading the words "Be gentle with yourself" has a calming effect. Normally I have those self-critical words clamoring to be heard all the time, at least as far as eating goes. I still have the association in my mind between virtue and harsh extremism. I think I can only b...

Tonight? Everything in the kitchen! It wasn't too hard since my son was doing a chemistry project in which he had to identify all kinds of chemicals that are in our food. Everything we looked at was highly processed (fortunately, there was lots of stuff that wasn't), and filled with lots of -dioxide...

It's only 8:15, but I'm giving myself a GREEN for today and considering the kitchen closed. Actually, after dinner snacking, although it used to be the bane of my existence, is not really my problem now. The real problem seems to be restaurants. I've had three red days, and two of those were linked ...

Thank you, KCCC! I'm very happy about my engagement, and my fiance is, too. He's not DBF I guess, but DF. He was so cute shopping for my diamond--really took a lot of time with it and wanted it to be perfect. He's a doll. I will definitely check out that thread. I think you're on to something! :) bu...

Hi, Janie! Yes, you're right, there is a lot of bad habit to be overcome. I think that up until know I was just making it on the full head of steam I had because this was a new diet. You know the extraordinary willpower you have at the start of something new. Now it's not new any more, and I'm strug...

No S *sigh* No excuses. :( I seem to be doing terrible lately with 2 red No S days and about a week of red urban ranger, but I really am committed. So why are things working out so badly lately? My whole life feels like its going through upheaval--some of it for good reasons, and some because of en...

Hi, Mimi! Nice for you to drop by! As for a date for our wedding, it's at least two years away, so we're just enjoying being engaged right now. Of course, I'll keep everyone posted. Tomorrow I have to wake up early because it's my first day of work! As for today, I woke up at seven and then went bac...

Thanks, Laura! Well, like you, I now have a job! I got it today. It's at a local law office that does bankruptcy law. That's the good news. The bad news is that the hours are very flexible and I can work at home. (That would be good news for anyone except somebody who needs more structure in her lif...

Thanks, KCCC! From some of your other posts, I can tell that you are a sensitive, thoughtful person. I'm always glad to see when you stop by! Well, the big news is: (*drumroll*) DBF asked me to marry him and we are now engaged!! :D We've been talking about this for a few weeks, and spent a week driv...

Thank you, Burn! That implies that the older they are at the time of the divorce, the longer it will take them to emotionally deal with it. I can see the logic in that. It doesn't help that the girls' mother, who is a counselor and should know better, encourages them to believe that she and their fa...

What's the worst diet you ever tried?
About the worst I ever went on was the F-factor diet. It was all about fiber, and this was about 30 years ago. You had to make up this fiber mix and eat it twice a day, besides eating lots of high fiber foods in general. The fiber mix was made up of high fiber cereal, wheat bran, some dried fruit an...
