Oh, those dates look AMAZING! Roquefort is my favorite cheese, my daddy introduced me to it when I was a child. I always ask for Roquefort dressing on salads at a restaurant BUT...mostly now it is simple Bleu cheese. Real Roquefort is uncommon in the US. I found some at a grocery store and bought a ...

Well, day 21 was a triumph! I had some nudges from the snack monster at 2:30 and 4:00, and was tempted when I got home from work because of the pie my BF had cooked and had sitting, already cut into, on the counter top. JUST my kind of pre-bed snacking...but I didn't. I wasn't hungry, for one thing ...

Other than a bite of garbanzo beans as they were cooking, which I had before dinner on day 18, I have stuck to No S very well. and, though there were a couple...

DAY 20 SUCCESS I did awesome on the No S. Note: chewing my food carefully for every bite, even oatmeal, EVEN the sweet potato soup I had for lunch makes ALL the difference. 1) I feel full on firsts only 2) my "one plateful" was considerably smaller for all meals and 3) snack appetite was only ugly b...

Hey there, thanks. Yeah, on the salad thing, I'm not super surprised to feel hungry after salad for lunch, but the mid morning screaming hollering hunger pangs were not the usual.

Good grief but my mid morning and mid afternoon snack time appetite has been active today. I had a big bowl of oatmeal with the works at 7:00. By 10:00 I felt so hungry it hurt. Felt like I was empty, but I'm sure I wasn't. So we went and had Sweet Tomatoes for lunch. A salad bar buffet. I filled up...

Hi cedar thanks for dropping by. Yeah, I'd love to see the pounds drop off, but that is not my main criterion for "success"...being healthy is far more important.
