I am going to start posting again. Life got super stressful and I just didn't stick with the small changes I was making. I am going for it again.

My weight is almost exactly the same as the first day I posted here. 158.6

CM2014

Well it's not the actual cost that is the problem. The problem is how the companies manipulate the labels.

CM2014

This was a good find for me because I have wondered about this for a while:

I wonder does tuna in pouches contain the exact weight that is listed on the package.

I really like the fact that you can walk to work. That is not possible for me. I wish I could though.

CM2014

Good job, CM! Hope you're proud of yourself!! I am! This week has been great. I have managed to stick with it! I also took your advice to stop overthinking S-Days and focus my energy on how to make No S work Mon-Fri. That being said I didn't totally stop thinking about S-Days. I decided to make mys...

I had a very stressful end to my day at work. I had to dig deep for some will power. I really wanted to come home and just dive into some cookies or candy. I didn't...but it wasn't easy!

CM2014

Best wishes to you. I understand how you feel.

Even though I failed at sticking with Intuitive Eating and Intermittent Fasting, I did learn that hunger is not the demon people think it is. It is possible to live with slight hunger between meals. Hunger is not an emergency. I always read about being on a diet without having hunger. But how is tha...

Cool, a plank challenge buddy! I'm with you on that one, CM! :) I hold 40-seconds/day. I started out with 30-seconds for the first month or so. Cool! I found this great book called 90 Second Fitness. The first phase is to hold a plank and a wall sit for 90 seconds. I'll have to work my way up to th...

Starting round 3 today. *My goal is to have less than 5 failed days for the next two weeks. * I also want to break the habit of being a diet hunter. * I plan to start a plank and wall sit challenge this week. I will do a plank and a wall sit everyday and hold each for as long as I can. February 15 S...

I haven't read it. I will look into it. I need some insight into this...dare I say it...sugar addiction.

CM2014

I can't believe that I have gone another two weeks with this program! My goal was to have less than 5 failed days for the first half of February. I didn't make it. Today was a definite fail! So, I am aiming for less than 5 failed days for the second half of February. I also said I was going to try m...

Good advice.

CM2014

I have been thinking a lot about sweets on S Days. I am torn between including them or giving them up completely. I just seem to be unable to stop eating once I begin. I am trying to find strategies to help me include them without going overboard. I remember a day years ago when I was trying to be m...

This is good to keep in mind.

CM2014

Benni, S days are for cake! If it leads to more snacking, it's still an S day. Part of moderation is learning how to handle cake -- and if you don't ever eat it, you won't learn that. Having treats on S days is over the top for many of us, especially when we're just starting out, but the desire to ...

CM2014

Tea is one of my strategies too.

CM2014

I didn't eat breakfast much when I started NoS, but now I always seem hungry for it. Still not a big breakfast, but a little something. I am eating a small breakfast too. Only two eggs and some coffee. I don't have time to cook much more than that. I have to get up a little bit earlier. Hopefully, ...

Sugar cravings are the worst! I hate them! I will try to post about my progress with them.

CM2014

I have to get up very early in the morning during the week. I usually don't have breakfast...maybe coffee. Today, I decided to sit down at eat a little. I will say that I felt much better today. I did not have any sugar cravings. I read somewhere once that a protein breakfast is good for people who ...

CM2014

Automated, I have tried so many diets and failed. I am naturally an all-or-nothing person when it comes to some things. I decided to take a different approach this time. Small goals that hopefully will give me results in the long run.

CM2014

Well, my first goal was to make it through the last 11 days of January. I stuck it out but I did have several days that were failures. My next goal is to make it through the first two weeks of February with less failed days than I had during those 11 days. My other goal is to stop looking, hunting, ...

CM2014

Thanks for all the advice. I did manage to make it through lunch and dinner without a sweet and without overeating! I guess the binge cycle is over! I will have to think about the advice to keep the sweets on my S-days. I am so afraid to have next week be like this week. I don't know. I have to pond...

CM2014

CM, if you keep your N Days sweet-free for a long enough time, there is a decent possibility you will get over your sugar addiction. I've seen testimonials for people where eventually their S days calm down. I hope so. I really don't want to experience this again. I already had a bad start today. T...

CM2014

This must be the same thing I have experienced in the past when I tried to do "eat all things in moderation" diets. As soon as I allow myself sweets I go hog wild for days. As much as I hate to say this, I truly think I am addicted to sugar. I may not be able to handle it even on S days. Now I am tr...

CM2014

I failed hard today. I was a munching, crunching fool! Not sure what happened.

CM2014

automated, I sure hope my mind is trying to commit.

I guess I know what I will be eating on my S day.

CM2014

Gosh, I had a dream about Oreo cookies last night. What does that mean?

CM2014

Hi Jill.

I like the idea of having a Habit Calendar. I wonder if my husband will think I am crazy?

CM2014

Alright! I am going to check in daily. My first goal is to stick with No S for the rest of January. That's it. I have set no other goals or challenges. I need to take my time and build one habit at a time. January 21 I did it! 22 I did it! 23 I did it! 24 I did it! 25 S Day! 26 S Day! 27 I Failed :(...

CM2014

You all made some very good points. Perhaps I am being too ambitious in my goals. I am at a stressful point in life right now (high stress job + children). I think that just focusing on No S may be better than trying to start an exercise routine too. Sometimes I forget that I am not in a race...tomo...

CM2014

Thanks automatedeating.

You may be right. My husband reminded me today that I have a tendency to make big goals and then quit at the first sign of failure. I am an all-or-nothing person. Perhaps setting a smaller goal will be better (for eating and exercising). I will think about it.

CM2014

Hi, I am a 38 year old female. I am short and fat and I eat too much sugar. I have been on the diet roller coaster. It sucks. This year I have decided to take a new approach. Instead of trying to lose all my excess weight in 3 months by trying to stick to rigid diets, I am going to give myself one y...
