but you will!
And two fails in a week means three successes.

"...but yesterday we had a cookie... why can't we have a cookie today?" or "...but yesterday we had a little bit more... and that was soooooo good! Can't we have just a little seconds?"

ha, I laughed my head of when I read this. I could actually see pictures

Jonas Jonasson

Thank you, inswsn. Praise from you means a lot to me, just look at what you have mastered so far I am feeling a bit obsessive right now going on and on, but the simple joy of feeling more-or-less-normal when it comes to eating quite overwhelmed me. I suspect things will get harder again, but then I ...

Jonas Jonasson

Thank you, Amy! Maybe I should call my thread "Triple Daily CheckIn" :oops: but the end justifies the means... I am so excited. I just had my lunch: a reasonably sized bowl of yesterday's Spaghetti con Veggies with grated cheese, 1 yoghurt with two spoonfuls of muesli, a kaki fruit, and a clementine...

In my area you definitely qualify for funny looks when you go by bike when it's below zero degrees Celsius. Today it was about minus 10 degrees and it had been snowing the last couple of days - and some drivers went reaaally slow to have a look at me (and the weather was beautiful, no snow storm, th...

Jonas Jonasson

I like your sense of humour.
If I understand it correctly.

Jonas Jonasson

Same here, being a beginner I am still too much in fear of sabotaging any good habits I have acquired so far. And I like the fence around the law concept. I usually have fruit on my plate which is kind of a dessert, of course, and it'll have to fit on my plate, usually in a little bowl, and I will e...

Jonas Jonasson

You were so right, as usual, inswsn. Was at a friend's and I knew she was going to make wafers and I was determined to have at least one, but I didn't, coffee and a very nice chat was more than enough. Sometimes company is better than everything else. So I feel kind of heroish today, I just hope I w...

Jonas Jonasson

This is just so beautiful

Jonas Jonasson

and will assume full responsibility

Yesterday: Success We had (whateverthismaybecalledinEnglish) Geschnetzeltes with rice for dinner. And today I felt like junk food so I had (also untranslatable) Hawaii toast. The 14 minutes were okay, my plates are beginning to be recognizable under the heaps of food so far so good. But somehow I ha...

Jonas Jonasson

Okay, So the restaurant Friday night was okay my pasta was drowning in olive oil but since that is not forbidden: Success on Friday. The weekend was soso, I didn't exactly pig out but it was not beautiful. The good thing was that went for a run (or for sth. similar...) for the first time since June....

Jonas Jonasson

I'd say feeling stressed and being famished at the same time makes you want to eat - but this sounds pretty normal to me. And the way you handled it was just great. Anything else would have been super human.

Jonas Jonasson

Green since 1 January, now this is an accomplishment!

I have just looked up Conversations with Kimberly. It' so very very different from any commercial I have seen so far

Jonas Jonasson

Thank you, inswsn Now that the first days' enthusiasm has evaporated I somehow do not think that I am doing well at all. I have decided not to weigh myself until the first 21 days have passed - successful or not - but I entertain the suspicion that my jeans are getting tighter (whereas my WW-friend'...

Jonas Jonasson

oh my, FAILURE today, I think. I had promised the children to take them to an ice cream parlour (yes, it's minus 10 degrees Celsius here right now - but they know what they are entitled to) after their doctor's appointment. I did not feel like consuming the umpteenth black coffee/espresso today so I...

Jonas Jonasson

So your good habits have carried over, great!

Jonas Jonasson

You're right we both empathize as well but both of us feel to have chosen the best way/lifestyle and she probably thought: "Poor girl she isn't even allowed one single biscuit in the afternoon" and I thought "I just hate tinned pasta" as well as the idea to do all this accounting. Luckily I wasn't a...

Jonas Jonasson

Super well done! Big hug from me (should be okay, being rather a Jonasine IRL) I know some people suffering from a depression and can (only sort of, of course) imagine how hard I must be but I bet none of them would never manage to sound as cheerful and optimistic as you do on this board. Double sup...

Jonas Jonasson

Just had this really huge lunch (sandwich made of 2 slices of wholemeal bread with cheese, a pear, 2 soft pretzels with butter, 1 yoghurt with a couple of spoonfuls of muesli). Had to compensate. Don't know exactly what, I have been feeling tense the whole day and was just ready to give in to the wh...

Jonas Jonasson

Hi there, Did you manage alright? Had the absolute same situation and was on my way to the shops when Kindergarten rang and I had to collect child2. Since I had something to do/no time to eat I sort of manage to sail around this. The price was a really big but hopefully compliant lunch. Stay strong,...

Jonas Jonasson

Hi there, Thanks for stopping by and offering kind words. I also quite like the name (although it's not my real one) and I know some toddlers/babies called Jonas. But you know what: I think Lincoln is even cooler. Congratulations, crazy lady :lol: I just hope that you are feeling better now and that...

Jonas Jonasson

Yesterday we had stuffed cabbage (? cabbage roulades?) a bit unnerving to make but the results are yum. And we are going to have them tonight as well. With mashed potatoes (here we go again)

Jonas Jonasson

There is snacking and there is perma-snacking and I think the former can definitely have a healthy place in a growing kid's life. Absolutely, my children also carry their little boxes around when it kids's gymnastics time and they will get a snack after kindergarten when they're hungry but I do not...

Jonas Jonasson

Yesterday: SUCCESS Makes me a bit suspicious, all these successes, I just hope I am not cheating subconsciously, maybe my plates are a bit overloaded? Well, I am going to worry about this after I have completed the first 21 days. N-days feel quite good actually. Was at a friend's yesterday who is do...

Jonas Jonasson

I just found it interesting that I wanted to get back into my "NS" routine

Same here, absolutely

Just one tiny question: What happened to the buttermilk pie you catered in for the open house at work?

Jonas Jonasson

Hi there, Thanks for stopping by. The garden party was great but I did manage to behave in a quite civilized not too conspicious manner maybe because most of the goodies were frozen I think you should not worry too much, it was an S-day after all and that's what they are supposed to look like. Somet...

Jonas Jonasson

So, let me see Friday: Success (I think, we had homemade pizza and I had to do some virtual plating because I couldn't possibly have seized the first baking tray to fill my plate and told the others to wait for the second one telling them that this was part of my diet) Saturday and Sunday (also star...

Jonas Jonasson

Hi there, I think Jasper is even better :D Good question when did it start? When grazing became fashionable? But I have to admit that I rarely leave the house without a small bottle of water when we will be away for let's say two hours at least. Habit. They may become dehydrated :shock: I can't reme...

Jonas Jonasson

This is just the way I see it.
It's always all-you-can-eat when we meet at the playing ground. And being/feeling an absolute spoilsport if you do not bring anything/tell your children not to eat too much.
Just how did we survive the afternoons when we were children?

Jonas Jonasson

I like your being TRULY ready concept, it maybe is the reason why most of us are here. And most of the time there is a good reason why we got there were we are now :? Cool explanation of your name, it's not boring at all (mine is). And IRL is probably in real life? If you have managed to resist the ...

Jonas Jonasson

Yesterday: Success Much better. I just ate more Saturday and Sunday will be S-days, of course. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow. In the afternoon we will meet at a friend's garden, there will be a fire with a kettle of GlÃ¼hwein (hot spice wine?) and one with hot apple juice and everybody ...

Jonas Jonasson

Yesterday we had Things-we-found-in-the-freezer, this was basically salmon fish fingers and spinach. I added fried eggs and boiled potatoes. We seem to eat potatoes almost every night but there is a reason, besides our genetic disposition: We live in this quite big village but there is only one inde...

Jonas Jonasson

Hello,
Thanks for stopping by & the thumbs-up-comment.
And your history is very impressive.
Just how do I pronounce Inswsn?

Jonas Jonasson

First of all Yesterday: Success But it was kind of hardish. Seemed to get a bit jiggely the last hour before dinner. Maybe there is too much time between my meals (7am - 1.30pm - 8pm), maybe it was because of the weather, the family being ill, or it was what it was, whatever, I have resisted. But I ...

Jonas Jonasson

Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by.
Am I supposed to write in German now?
Very impressive results in your signature, by the way

Jonas Jonasson

Started again on 7 January. Cannot exactly remember why I did not go on with it the first time but the other day I read a thread about someone's husband just following the three rules without fussing about it. Sounded like a good idea to me. So far only successes. Well it has only been three days so...

Jonas Jonasson

Yesterday: organic pork chops with Brussels sprouts and seasoned boiled potatoes
Tonight: Backed potato slices with quark (curd cheese? Dear me, please read my disclaimer and replace impolite with inedible, if applicable) with herbs, or tzaziki
