Thanks MaggieMae! This weekend was actually not bad S-wise. On Saturday I had two distinct meals for breakfast and lunch with no snacking in between, and then we went to P.F. Chang's for dinner and I enjoyed an appetizer and sharing a dessert. It was enjoyable, and I did not feel stuffed afterwards....

Well, the first S day of the weekend went fairly well for it being Halloween. I had three cookies with lunch, nothing more until we ordered pizza for dinner (and I just had one plate for dinner) and then two more cookies along with three little chocolate bars. Oh, and some spiced apple wine. Today h...

For me it's been the fun size 100 Grand bars and some chocolate creme Kit Kat bars. I've also enjoyed cookies I made with orange-colored and chocolate chips. After I stopped answering the door last night I put together three small bags of candy I wanted, then put 1 in the cupboard and two in the fre...

I, too, have noticed that my past couple of weekends have been heavy on the snacking and sweets, and I've had some red days in the past few weeks. I took the time to re-read the book, and read the strictness podcast, which I think is helping me through this week so far. I also thought about the habi...

Wow, I am feeling almost physically ill after an out of control S-day, which hasn't happened in awhile. I really can't find a reason as to why I ate so many cookies and chocolate bars today, except that I made some cookies and then realized how much I had overstocked for Halloween next week. Saturda...

Good job on being successful even with the 1 candy corn! I, too, didn't realize how much I was really indulging until I no longer ate after dinner. I was so used to have 3-4 cookies with my cup of tea in front of the television, or a couple of chocolate bars, or bowl of ice cream...you get the pictu...

Well, the end of last week had a couple of failures.
