Thank you so much Merry!!!
Today, just breakfast so far - a green smoothie (kale, spinach, coconut milk, avocado, banana, apple, lime, hemp protein). I've planned cereal for lunch because it's way too hot to cook, and a pb&j sandwich for dinner before I head off to the gym.

Back from vacation (hence the radio silence)! Had a wonderful time - we were in China for two weeks, it was amazing. And we had structured, 3-a-day meals for that entire time (though I did snack a bit, it wasn't often), and, well, I feel so much calmer about my food now. I even lost some weight, tho...

That's a good idea too! I actually bought the book - had a gift card for Amazon and thought that maybe reading it would put me back on the right track - and it's super informative.

I'll try, it's hard to eat so much at once - especially since I tend to have a lot of veggies and fruit, and they're low-cal but so filling! Right now I'm pretty sedentary since I'm still healing from surgery, but I'll be back to training next week (as soon as I get the staples out :lol:) that's a r...

Sometimes when food isn't there as the go to 'block' for my emotions, I end up having to feel them - all the anxiety and everything else that pops up when I stop using cake as an emotional buffer.

That's an excellent point oolala - I think leaving it up to chance makes it much more likely for me to make a silly last minute decision. My meals tend to be better when I plan them ahead of time, and that includes timing as well! For the next two weeks I'm off training, but I usually train from aro...

Mealtimes!
Hi all! Do you guys plan mealtimes (eg the example of 7am, 1pm and 7pm)? Or do eat your three meals when you're hungry? I'm experimenting, but I think for me - at least at the beginning - I need to schedule my mealtimes, as I'm a habitual snacker and I'll end up eating my three meals too close toget...

I have learned that snacking, even when minor, turns me into someone who trolls around like a fish with it's mouth open, combing the ocean for whatever floats into its gullet.

Hi all, Read about the 'No-S diet' this morning as I was having my midmorning snack...decided to put it away and wait until lunch! I want to check in for at least a month or two, until I feel a bit more solid in my willpower :) So far I've had breakfast and lunch. It's 4pm now at work, and I am STAR...
