Day 14 ( Wednesday April 05 ) Failure :oops: Meh. Honestly lately I'm feeling a little dubious here. Been pretty much doing Noes for several weeks, admittedly with some failures along the way (like today), but I would have expected to have had *some* result by this point. Nuthin. Exacly where I sta...

Day 13 ( Thursday March 30 ) Success BIG QUOTE BOX IN WHICH HE VENTS. Meh. Technically speaking, today was a failure I guess... but mostly it was mre like "not really paying attention."

Day 12 ( Tuesday March 28 ) Failure :oops: PITHY OBSERVATION SECTION Bleargh, failed today. I have detected a pattern: it's *really* hard for me to stay No-S because of my crazy sleep schedule. I will often work for 18 or 20 hour periods, and then sleep a long time. That right there is not healthy,...

I will say that it takes a fair amount of planning, not just resistance, to pull off No S. I've got a friend coming to stay with me this week, we'll see how that goes. I s...

I agree... the mental part is the biggest boost -- weirdly enough, I find I'm less worried about whether I'm overweight, and more concerned over whether I'm taking care of myself... if that makes any sense.

Sounds funny, like I'm talking about a drug or something, but I guess in some ways Coke is a drug. Actually, that's absolutely true.

I like to make them. If you describe what you want I'll see what I can do.
No promises, since I don't know if everyone on the internet will say they want one or what.

Yeah, my bad. Actually it occurred to me that it really wasn't very good... it just tasted like milk and barely like coffee. Weirdly enough, it seems that soy lattes are actually worse nutrition-wise than cappuccinos (which I thought had more milk). And cappuccinos are supposed to be short: a "tall ...
