Thank you automatedeating and diligence! Finallyfull - I replied on your thread without seeing your reply :) Between IE and your counting adventure - I'm now plain vanilla for the whole of 2014! First day yesterday: success. I didn't have dinner as I still have my cold and feel stuffed from the past...

Thanks for sharing! I had an IE- excursion during Christmas and that didn't work for me neither. So thanks to you I won't even bother doing the calorie counting as I know I'll react just the same. Vanilla it is!

Automatedeating: NoSpending is an interesting one! I look forward to see what tweaks you'll come up with.

Lots of green already - hurray! And for the reds so far - it's tough to get back on the horse after Christmas but you can do it!

Happy New Year!

I didn't see a January Challenge yet so I would be delighted if you join me in making a January a successful month, whatever that means to you. I'm going for Vanilla NoS and All-Green.

Good luck to you all!

If you're willing to tell, what was the hobby? I keep thinking I'm going to find another focus as compelling. So far, housework isn't it. TV and movies are the alternate right now, and a hobby of forgiving myself for watching TV and writing on eating issue boards all day. Hahaha! I hope you need no...

Prior to No S I could more easily "pretend" that I was getting those freggies because I might grab a banana between meals, or whatever. First of all, fantastic testimonial. The other thing, this quote really struck a nerve. I used to pretend this as well and lately I've been carbing up again with b...

Hi Joasia,

The weight seems to go down but much more importantly: you seem to be a fantastic person all of us on your check-in thread would like to hang out with so isn't that more important?

Well done!

Happy New Year! And I'm back to plain vanilla, first day today :) So my little experiment of taking it easy during December and doing IE to enjoy the festivities has resulted in lots of festive feeling and +3kg. Interesting outcome and not completely unexpected or unimaginable before I started so I'...

Interesting. For me the main characteristic of bingeing is: a vicious cycle of restricted eating followed/preceeded by a period of compulsive/obsessive overeating. I think overeating can feel just as horrible but is more chronic and stable while bingeing is compulsive and alternates with obsessive r...

The Power of Rituals - Article

Saw this and it made me think of NoS and the power of habit, which is really what they are saying when they talk about automating something. However, it is also about savouring your experience. http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/12/new-research-rituals-make-us-value-things-more/?utm_source=Socialflow&utm_med...
