Everyday Systems

I'm working slowly in the no-s direction. I don't do seconds, and I've mostly cut out snacks. But once in a while, I slip up. And I don't beat myself up over it. I also have one small sweet every day . . . and I'm not sure if I'm ever going to give that up. But I think about the rules, and I have le...

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I got the Beck Diet Solution (not the workbook) at the library. Does your library have it? I love the book so far. I'm not being super strict about following the program exactly, but I've been very, very close. And it's been really helpful. In my copy of the book, we are supposed...

Hey :) I have a bit of a binge eating problem, when I'm stressed or tired. And I'm working on it, and it's getting better. I think the key to beating it is to keep trying, to know yourself, and to figure out what works for you personally. I know, for me, that keeping busy helps, keeping a rough food...

My stress level has gone down a bit, which has made huge inroads in my stress eating problems. Now, I just need to make my new, better habits super strong and permanent.

Still here, still trucking. I can't claim to be following No S right now, but I'm working in that direction. Still using Beck, still liking it, still making progress. My weight has stabilized, after about a month of up and downs. A little higher that I like it, so I'm trying to slooooowwwwllllyy loo...

I've got the Beck Diet Solution, and I'm using that in tandem with my "one S" diet. So far, so good. Of course, it hasn't been long ;)

I'm making a commitment to really tackling my eating problems for good. Keep you posted :) And that means no-S, pretty much. Almost vanilla. I think I'll allow that bite or two of sweets per day. Just because that's the one S I want to keep. But snacks and seconds are out of here. And that one small...

I do need to work on my nightime snacking. I have managed to stop binging pretty much, but I have had several episodes of snack attacking. Not good. At all. Hmm, better start thinking tactically.

I love all the replies, and knowing that many of you guys need to tweak the system a little too :)

ok, just articulating my mods. There are a lot, but I feel like right now, this is what works best for me. I love vanilla, but it wasn't quite working out. Firstly, I'm using the no-S rules as guidelines and aspirations. I'm trying not to snack, or have seconds, but if I fudge a little, so long as I...

the past few days have gone really well. I've been keeping no-S principles, but not exactly adhering to the "rules." I've been having a small sweet every day. And I haven't been snacking, but I think I'd permit a bite between meals, if it was just a bite. So I haven't been following no-S with the in...

I feel the need for some little mods. I might try 3 0 7 girl's technique. A little sweet every day (I think I've been binging because my sweet tooth is angry) and no snacks, every day. But rules make me rebellious! And S days give me trouble. However, I do love no-S. Because this plan made me realiz...

Yesterday was my first S day since keeping this log. It was pretty good. I overate, but I didn't binge. I went to a party, a birthday party, so I had a cupcake, and some candy. Plus some healthier snacks, all late at night. Not my favorite time, but it was ok. Not excessive, I think. I don't mind ov...

I'm going to try and cut down on reading diet/nutrition websites too. I have an addiction, because they are kind of entertaining. But not very productive.

Today has been good too. Hmm, random little thought. I used to eat all sorts of fake sugar. Now, I've stopped all except stevia, and I try to moderate that. But I just realized my favorite bread has sucralose (splenda) hidden in it. I'm so paranoid, I'm worried that trace amount of splenda will mess...

well, today was spot on. Oh course, today wasn't overly stressful.
I have a couple non-food stress-reduction ideas, though. Showers are helpful. So is going to bed early. Or reading a novel.
Or cuddling with my dog. I'm going to keep trying to go for those from here on out.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I'll really be doing this daily. But regularly, yes. I've been kinda following no-S for months. Not strictly. But this weekend, I realized I need to kick my habit of overeating when depressed. I had been doing super great all week. Not even feeling hungry (I think because I hav...

I have the same sort of issue. I'm a waitress, and usually go about seven hours without a break. I drink lots of milk, coffee, and juice with seltzer. Tomato juice is also good. That works well for me, usually. And I try to get plenty of protein and fat in my meals. It's rough . . . I know. But I've...
