I think, for the most part, S days should be utterly off the hook for the first few months. I cannot encourage you enough to look up the Phases of No-S . She is sooo right. I'd even go so far as to say for many people who've done a lot of dieting, really getting the habits of No-S down requires year...

You Can't Eat and Knit: Thoughts on Displacement Activity
Anyone find that as they're getting away from snacking much that they have any displacement activity. I ate a lighter lunch than I probably should, and was unusually hungry kind of early in the afternoon. I usually judge these things better, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out properly today...

As I was thinking about replying to this, one of the things that went across my mind (and I don't yet do it but am going to implement it) is a bit of self-talk. "Me, I know you're ticked off/sad/bored/afraid/whatever. Yes, this is an uncomfortable feeling. But you're 47. Do you necessarily require s...

Noel's 2016 Check In
Didn't lose any weight over the holidays. Didn't gain any, either, so, I'm kinda good with that. Off the wagon as far as not having a drink until my marathon swim. Had some wine over the holidays and just don't feel like being THAT much of a Puritan. Glass ceiling still applies, though I don't reall...

Mason Jar Salads?
Possibly this should go under Intelligent Dietary Defaults, but this isn't really as easy or default as Optimized Oatmeal. Mason Jar salads. I do this sometimes if I know the week is going to be busy enough I'm not going to want to make bento. You can prep these salads quite a bit in advance and the...

Experience has shown that food changes take longer. But it's still a nice benchmark. But I have wondered when it will all feel more...second nature. When did that happen for you? Some people really do click almost instantly. That's awesome when it does. Sometimes people, in the rush of the newness,...

It's really rather unique. I did FlyLady for years before I went whole hawg with Konmari.RAWCOOKIE wrote: Yup - it was interesting - I can't see that it's much different from any other de-cluttering or space-clearing advice though.
I did a post on FlyLady v. Konmari back last summer.

@Walkerlori, swimming is definitely HIGHLY technical. It's on up there with ballet or martial arts for needing a proprioceptive sense. Anyway, I'm calling the holidays a success. I did not gain any weight over the holidays and I'm finding today a totally comfortable N day, even after a week of goodi...

I finally noticed this and checked out the podcast. I've been fairly itching to see what you thought of it, as certainly her "heroic effort" mentality is very contrary to general "Everyday Systems" advocated methods. Full disclosure: I did declutter my four bedroom home via the Konmari method. My hu...

Yes, completely normal. Interestingly enough, that's more or less how Mark Twain claimed to eat in The Appetite Cure. There was a time when one or two meals a day was considered appropriate for those not doing manual labor. You had a reasonably substantial dinner in the middle of the day, and that's...

I hadn't thought about serving them on a nice plate or having a plan. There are people (I am one, and Our Founder is another) who do think that if you're going to have a treat, make it a good one.

Can't Fail on an S-Day Weekend
This is not one of my more moderate S-days. I posted about a weekend I really liked a few weeks ago. I want to post about one that is leaving me dissatisfied. There was this tin of cookies my husband and I bought. You know, the Danish Butter cookies? I'd seen this meme going around the Internet. Wer...
