You have to plan, buy, organize, prep, cook and clean up every bite that goes into your mouth. Nothing about that is automatic regardless of the eating plan you choose to follow....

My compliance in December wasn't all that great -45%- or so. It helped to participate in the December challenge and, more importantly, to make brief notes regarding the failures. It revealed some hard truths about my efforts. Specifically, that pretty often I don't really try all that hard. I'll kee...

maybe we CAN forever eliminate a particular food from our diet? Sure. Why not? Some religions forbid eating certain types of food and I'm pretty sure the adherents don't sit around secretly wishing they could eat it. They just don't eat it. It never even occurs to them that they want it. Vegetarian...

Hi Octavia, I get very frustrated when I hear people talk about this or that thing that changed their life and suddenly their goals are achievable - usually accompanied by talk about how great they feel and it's always so easy !! Honestly, I think their "thing" probably is leading them to good insig...

Sorry to highjack your thread: A few years ago I was having trouble waking in the night with anxiety. I learned to tell myself, "You can't solve this at 1:00 am. You can worry about it in the morning at 8:00." It seemed to help to know that I had a specific time to worry. At least it made it possibl...

I don't think I've ever made it this far into public tracking in a monthly challenge before. I always forget about it for a few days then I can't remember what I've done and yadda yadda yadda . . . the month is over. Anyway, I think it was useful to track qualitatively for a month. I feel like it gi...

Funny how foods have disappeared one by one. Some things are so easy to walk past but others I still have to stop and think about before I continue on my way. As you say, there are still some hold outs that are difficult to shake. What book are you currently reading? If you said I apologize, I don't...

Hi Octavia, I'm sorry to hear you're having a bit of a stressful time. I don't have any great advice except to say . . . if your not enjoying it, don't do it. I can tell you from experience that there will be a bit of backlash in tbe beginning but I've found a combination of saying - out-loud and of...

Firstly, Would you talk to your friends the way you are talking to yourself? What if one of them said, "I don't want to go. I feel ugly and desperate to lose weight"? I bet the last thing you would say (or even think) is, "Yes, you're right. You should stay home on your birthday." Talk to yourself t...

My plan is to start up again in the New Year. I know you're not supposed to put it off like that, but I am really low on motivation for anything, much less working on fat loss. I gently suggest you do take a break from working on fat loss and focus instead on establishing sustainable habits. I don'...

Nice to see you back. However I handle it, I know that this pattern of overeating I've had since I was a child needs to stop at some point. I'm not going to be perfect, but I know I just need to be good enough to stay on habit most of the time. I hear ya'. . . I'm definitely ready to accept that "go...

I can't commit to letting it go now, but I commit to looking for reasons and ways to do it. The "scanning" stage, as Beth Duffus calls it. The "ways" will probably NOT include going cold turkey, but something analogous to No S. I wish there was an S word for preoccupation so I could make it my fift...

Hi Merry, You had an amazing year habit wise. You really deserve to pat yourself on the back!! Definitely enjoy having your kids home and being at peace with yourself!! That's what's really important. You can decide later on if you want to try to "tweak" what your doing but there isn't any rush. Hon...
