Re: New Podcast Episode: Demogorgon vs. Asmodeus
That was wonderful! Thank you - it was great to hear/read your thoughts. I've recently started (yes, I know!) trying to learn D&D (solo) adapting it to my own needs - I've not made much headway yet. But, yes, this was really entertaining and thought-provoking - I could relate to those idea very well.

Oh lor' looks like today will be another NSW day - my good friend has invited me to join her and her family this afternoon for a 'Prosecco Cream Tea' as it's her birthday. I've just made more 'treats' for the weekend (both are in the freezer now) - oh, roll on Saturday! Two medjool dates cut in half...

You are so kind, Sonja! It's true, it IS a big life-change for me. Thursday SUCCESS I ate well today - I'm not at work, so I cooked myself a veg & Quorn curry at lunch-time, with a mini-naan bread. Then I baked some chickpea/corn/sweet potato burgers for dinner, with a big serving of salad, then som...

Tuesday I was visiting my son & daughter-in-law, and I basically ate three meals, except for three cookies I ate before dinner (because I had to wait until 8.30m to eat and I did get too hungry!) I decided to call it a NWS :) day. Wednesday started well, with just breakfast and lunch. But when I was...

Just noticed that little exchange about THM - and agree with your observation that it seems to provide women with a reason to mess about baking and making special food. Seems to me, from what I've seen, that they have a lot of 'substitute' food items that need to be purchased, not least, their own b...

Thank you for the good wishes everyone - it has surprised me to feel so very emotional about having a grandchild - I'm sure I shall cry when I see him! I still often get a little surge of desire to eat when I feel light-hearted. Food used to "puncuate" the day all day. Sounds like you might want to ...

Wednesday A REAL FAIL! I think this has been brewing since Monday - the resistance was less yesterday, and today it gave way completely! This was evening meal redness - I had seconds, then I had frozen yoghurt, then I had some oatmeal cookies with my coffee. I'm so excited because I am going to go a...

This was where I was at the end of March 2016 I've been following the No S diet for about 10 months now: this has regulated my weight (reducing it very slowly) and my appetite. What I am finding now is that when, at the weekend, I introduce baked goods, sweets, chocolate, cookies into my day - then ...

Well, how about that? I was the last person to post on this thread, over a year ago! I love all the podcasts, but this one is great for reinforcing the benefits of S days. I really hope that anyone who has problems with S days comes over to listen to this one again. I've stuck to Saturday/Sunday S d...

It was nice to have an S day after a 7-day stretch of work, and a 5k run this morning! I had a bar of hazelnut chocolate after my run (eaten on the bus journey home) - the cool thing was that the high nut content meant that the protein:carb ratio was 1:5 which was within the standard I've adopted fo...

Well said, Larkspur - I saw a talk on the internet somewhere recently which showed how 'slim people' had an area of their brain which lit up when they'd eaten enough; the same thing just did not happen in the brains of 'overweight people' - they just didn't seem to have the regulating mechanism that...

Yes, the possibility of going back to old ways is ever-present; I feel I have to be quite emotionally and mentally strong to keep 'on habit'. I have to say that the food left in the cupboard is NOT 'help yourself' - it usually belongs to someone! :oops: Thursday SUCCESS my evening meal was a big veg...

Tuesday FAILURE This was such a small fail - but it was a habit-fail, so I'm not ignoring it! I broke the very edge off a specially tasty cheese and ate it between meals. Wednesday SUCCESS No, we don't have any food provided for us at work - we have to bring all our food in from home each day - but ...

Sunday was sane until the evening at work, when I indulged in a few chocolates, a handful of savoury rice-crackers - nothing terrible. Evening meal was a big, very green, mixed salad with some cheese added to it. Monday SUCCESS I didn't get home for lunch until 2pm, but I waited! evening meal: veggi...
