Hi Tracy- Welcome! And thanks for telling us a bit about yourself. This is a lovely community to be a part of! That sounds good- to try a glass of milk with your injection and see how it goes. If that's not ideal, a "small meal with medicine" mod would certainly be reasonable! You will likely find t...

Hi Oolala- yeah, I could see becoming a brunch and dinner person. I think I'd like to eat at 10 am and 4:30 or 5pm. You mentioned wanting to eat at meal time. I suppose I expect that if I got used to eating my 2 meals at a certain time, that would become the default of what "meal time" would mean. S...

Hi Jill, Yeah, this sounds like kind of an ideal crossing of the stars, where they are moderate eaters who eat plain food, and (on N days) you are a moderate eater who avoids sweets! Even though the source of these habits are different, the surface behavior is very compatible. I hope it goes very we...

Hi Oolala - Yeah, we don't necessarily need a huge volume of food... but even if on the down side food can provide a false comfort, on the up side, it is a normal part of being human to enjoy food and the eating experience. I remember my dad took an early retirement and immediately switched to 2 mea...

Hi, lderoc- Yea for you! Glad you felt in control of your eating on a thurSday! You mention adding a 3rd meal sometimes on N days... do you think there's any chance that trying to keep it down to 2 meals other days might be contributing to the feeling of needing to overdo it on Thursdays?

Hi eschano- Yeah, I'm curious about how it will work out long term for me, if I do it once in a while. I actually got the idea from our fearless leader's check-in thread, and he called it funny stuff rather than a mod, so I'm following suit. A difference I noted is that he traded forward, along the ...

9" divided plate
Well, I went out and bought myself a 9" (plastic) plate that is divided into 3 sections. It is not a thing of great beauty, but I really enjoyed my lunch today- my salad was not touching my lentil stew, which in turn was not touching my bread, but it all went on 1 (non-virtual) plate. The best thing...

If you don't choose to make Thursday an S day, you might just give it some special attention... plan a really nice dinner, with maybe some fruit to finish it off. Brush your teeth right after and take a bubble bath or do something else relaxing to occupy yourself and take your mind off food. Maybe j...

Hi Jaob,- That's a very individual choice! Personally, I don't drink very often, but my policy is a glass ceiling of: 1 on N days and 2 on S days.

Amazon purchases?
Hi Reinhard or Anyone Else-
Just wondering, is it still possible to make regular purchases from Amazon and you get some percentage of the sale? Is there a link for that? Any special instructions?

Sometimes limiting access, especially in the beginning is important. Maybe having your daughter keep her snacks in a different place for a while would help. Or more radically, help her to avoid sweets on weekdays too, by having fruit for her during the week-? (I don't know her age, level of autonomy...
