reneew, I really like the aspect of NoS that makes me feel like an 'adult' - you know, one of those people who knows what works & what doesn't? Sounds like you are doing exactly that - fine-tuning your personal best approach. I can completely relate to the scale-fear. I don't ever weigh anymore. The...

You really are thinking deeply - and well - about all of this. It's amazing how complex all of this food-related stuff can be. But that awareness is a great thing, and if you're only sitting down to 3 meals a day, you have TIME to think about what you eat. I often wonder if I didn't set myself up to...

lbb, your habits - both good & mine -sound exactly like mine! That gum chewing - I'm a chain chewer. I can go without indefinitely. If I have a pack in my desk, gone in a couple of hours. A hundred years ago, when I smoked (in a galaxy far,far away) I was equally chain-driven. I also talk too damn m...

I love your posts too! And I laughed out loud at your sweet little Southern ladies choosing"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and them NOT reading it (and you were so good to slog through it!) and then kicking you out of bookclub. You know, of course, what they were saying behind your back:...

Had a really nice day today - long hot bike ride w/hubby out in the sticks of Georgia, and rewarded ourselves with a stop at a DQ - interestingly, I ate only about 1/2 of my ice cream, it just wasn't that good frankly. Then had a great dinner at home with blackened tilapia, fresh tomato & avocado sa...

osoniye - yes, I was in HOW - successfully - for a long time. And one day woke up (for my daily 5:15am call to my sponsor)and said "I don't want to do this anymore." I felt like I had found the answer to my constant preoccupation with food and weight, because I could "turn it over' everyday. But my ...

Well, your life is indeed happening, and quite nicely I might add! And you sound full of energy, optimism and commitment - helped along I'm sure by getting results! Regarding those 'things' - Have you noticed that there's actually nothing left to buy? LOL I honestly can't think of one thing I need, ...

Recovering from the bowling debacle. Let's just say the pro-bowling tour won't be searching me out. On the other hand, I can tell (via sore muscles) that it was actual exercise. And I fully embraced the cultural aspect of the game with pizza afterwards. How downright STRANGE to have a big slice of p...

So sounds like today is better than yesterday, and that's definitely progress. It's strange how something beneath our dignity can make us compromise a commitment. I'm with KCCC - you DESERVE better, and today you gave that to yourself I love 'mark it and move on'. I've spent too many day/weeks/month...

Woops! Behind updating here....it's been a great week,doing well on my NoS days, but skipped exercise Monday because I THOUGHT I had planned a day off. So do I log that as a FAILURE on my HabitCal for exercise. Rats! We have 15 interns at my company and took them bowling tonight. I was the Mom-in-Ch...

I noticed that I've added foods - like homemade bread. I'm having a piece of home-baked whole wheat bread with my breakfast every morning - I NEVER would have done that in the past! "Too many carbs" I do find that we seem to have a longer 'box life' of things like chips, crackers, 'pick up foods'. C...

Wow! You are my hero! You stood down the obligatory now-you're-the-matriarch hostessing duties! Rock on sister! Last year, I refused to host the annual Christmas Eve brunch gathering that kept growing, and growing. I ended up crying in the bedroom from the tension of being that assertive, but - you ...

My husband's family is from New Jersey. Those Stephanie Plum books are just like a family reunion. Never have I seen that much hair & makeup outside a Miss America contest! And I live in the South . The women are all named Dawn. One of the cousins married a guy in the garbage business named Vinnie. ...

Thanks G - we are having great exercise-outdoors weather, but we'll soon (like tomorrow) hit 90o and then when the humidity kicks in - can't bearto be outside. Back to the gym then unfortunately. Yeah, I'm definitely feeling the relief of not thinking about food. I noticed that I had more food thoug...
