s-day. but i had told myself i wasn't going to take it. really i didn't want it....last night. and i didn't think that i wanted it till about 4:30pm today. i had a normal breakfast. was really hungry for it. pb oats. got home from a long morning at church and ate lunch about 3pm. really hungry. but ...

lbb (Liz)

You make some brilliant points, oolala. Change the subject. Be confident about it. Don't draw attention. Don't be defensive. My sisters and I BOND over food, like you mentioned how most women do "on eating and body image issues". "What treat next?".... You're right about eating heartily at meals nix...

lbb (Liz)

Wow I'm shocked you don't get hungry that often. I mean I understand not being hungry after bingeing, but maybe you're right and your body is helping you out. I don't know if I'd be that compliant about listening to my tummy since I enjoy the process of eating! :) I'm sorry about the nausea. Yuck. T...

lbb (Liz)

Hmmmm. "Like a kid on Christmas morning"! Sorry, but that's funny! I totally relate. :0 Your meals sound DELICIOUS! Holy moly! So your only real "over-doing" it was with the Little Debbies, extra wafers and another cookie. If I'm correct, that doesn't seem like THAT much extra alongside your meals? ...

lbb (Liz)

Well, Amy, I think "big picture" is a good perspective to keep at your point... a) you're losing weight b) you're ENJOYING WONDERFUL food WITH people c) you exercise like crazy! d) you're not bingeing e) you're finding what works for you Sounds like a delightful weekend and a plum tart! Yum! Have a ...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, oolala. I waited things out. Mowed the lawn. Took the kids on an extra walk. Put a toddler in his bed over and over... and then at 10pm, started painting my toenails while watching "you've got mail" (it was on tv). Popped a bag of popcorn and ate that last cookie. How cliche is that for when...

lbb (Liz)

technically an "S" day. so not able to fail. but i had a plan of eating 3 squares, and one dessert at the end of the day. not like it matters, but it didn't go exactly as planned. but no bingeing or mindless snacking, thank heavens :). i guess you look at progress, and MUCH better than last week. br...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks for your post on my thread! Ya I love that post about the girl who lost all that weight. She's SO positive and just plugs along. She's apparently writing a book soon. She definitely "gets" balance.
"Life in between"...going so well.
Have a happy weekend yourself.

lbb (Liz)

Welcome!
I'm also a mom to three young'ins! No-S has really helped me create better eating habits, as I have a history of all or nothing binge/starve.
I hope you find the same peace I'm continuing to find.
Take care.

lbb (Liz)

CONGRATULATIONS! Glad you have taken to NO-S so quickly!
Enjoy your S weekend.

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, Deb for the cheers! You're right No-S habits fused with Beck thoughts=obliteration of these life-long sabotaging behaviors! Particularly, when I have had eating disorders...it's obviously not just stuff I DO, it's what I THINK. So I've had a wonderful N week regardless of the 2 brownies on T...

lbb (Liz)

Oh man, Sinnie, having homemade cookies in the house alone would do me over. No wonder it's been hard for you to resist! I'll take homemade cookies over any dessert out! Glad you have it planned ahead. That's me, too, rungirl. I keep stuff I don't like, but I'd say vanilla ice cream over chocolate! ...

lbb (Liz)

Ya I think the weighing daily thing is tough, though, because of water, sodium, and no reasons at all. Sounds like you have a good attitude about it, though and have the scale in perspective.
Have a fantastic Friday and weekend!

lbb (Liz)

7 pounds!? That IS an accomplishment! Relish in it and all your hard work...running and eating well. You said it well...the fine line between permissive and restrictive but it sounds like you are finding YOUR line. I love the thought that you "haven't felt this much peace about food and eating behav...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, sweet Amy for your words. Live and learn, indeed! "Competing treats"...sounds so funny! It does happen because we don't allow lots of junk. So it's totally novel! Reminds me how growing up, my mom ALWAYS had jars of candy on the counter: peanut M&Ms, nibs, and hot tamales. More for color and...

lbb (Liz)

Hooray for your Thursday success! GREAT JOB! As far as bingeing goes on the weekend, which I completely relate to, I was reading the Beck Diet book today and saw something stand out to me. I know I always feel tension when on the verge of possibly bingeing. If the option is even open. And sometimes ...

lbb (Liz)

Spoke too soon. I'm blushing RED! Memories flash back to childhood, 6th of 8 kids when you set something aside and it's gone. When I saw hubs eying brownies, later I opened the freezer, saw 2 of the 4 left and just sat and ate them. Mistake I shouldn't have done. Not going to beat myself up about it...

lbb (Liz)

Thursday: Green! Hooray. B: pb oats L: chicken salad, chips, yogurt SO hungry for lunch after doing body pump. really over-loaded my plate, but oh well. D: eggs scrambled with feta, chicken sausage (which I didn't eat b/c it was gross), olives, spinach a cup of Uncle Sam's cereal, scoop of peanut bu...

lbb (Liz)

Oh my. King size hershey symphony bars! The milk chocolate almond and toffee. Down the gullet so many times.
Bad news bears!

lbb (Liz)

Wow, that's a feat, oolala. My mom used to say, "don't flatter yourself" when as an anxious teen I'd be worried about what people think. She didn't mean it in a rude way, but more a "people don't notice nor care" and "they are so worried about themselves, no one cares what you do."
She's right!

lbb (Liz)

You're in good company, Brianna. MANY of us struggle with the same thing. Maybe we should all "secret eat" together...hahaha! Then, we're not longer secret eating, but still getting our fix. :wink: I kid. No, I think that's a great goal. Make sure you have someone who will help support you. Someone ...

lbb (Liz)

Hi. I'm glad you relate on the eating FOR other people. I've noticed in social situations I always want to prove I eat anything I want. And will almost go overboard with it. But why do I care what people think? Weird. Glad you relate. Maybe it stems from being annoyed with people always "watching it...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, Sinnie. I think it helped that it WASN'T a sit-down dinner. Those kill me. The not-knowing ahead of time, etc. etc. Plus I had decided BEFORE hand and there was NO CHOICE. :shock: So I love any salad that's greek-ish. Maybe it's the salt. At Costco, I always grab the huge spinach bin, some t...

lbb (Liz)

Hooray for a N compliant day!
I'm on day 4 of 21, so I'll be along the ride with you.
Let's do this! We can!

lbb (Liz)

I'm SOOO glad you resisted! Hooray for Sinnie. But sorry it's still kinda bugging you and you want that cookie. ONE MORE DAY (about). From the Beck book: "Cravings are about want, NOT need. When you think, "I really need this food right now," remind yourself, "Actually I really want this food right ...

lbb (Liz)

Good job on keeping it to one plate and resisting the second round of fries! Those never-ending fries are so hard to resist! But later you pay! I think it's nice to ONCE IN AWHILE have a burger/fries. It's like, "hey, I can be normal!". Sounds like you're being realistic about your S days. And plann...

lbb (Liz)

rungirl: Hi! Sometimes I have treats around and think I can handle them being there and then I get into the "I'll eat just one piece" and it goes from there. I like this from the Beck book: "If every time you buy a bag of potato chips you tell yourself, "I'll be able to stop at one serving," and nev...

lbb (Liz)

I'm sorry, Roxy, about the "lows" recently, especially when you don't feel well already!
I totally understand the stuffing your face with popcorn and candy. Mindless eating to keep your mind off the other stuff!
Glad you're committed to No-S. We can all jump back in as easily as we jumped out...

lbb (Liz)

Proud to report! Green! I resisted treats at the baby shower because I had decided ahead of time I would not eat them. I had a hearty one plate dinner before the shower and just socialized with a bottled water. No one noticed nor cared of course. I feel great and though it was tough baking brownies,...

lbb (Liz)

Hi, AMY! I'm sorry about the last few days. I relate completely. Coming out of the food fog Monday myself. I just committed to Vanilla NO S, no exceptions, and am allowing myself ONE NICE DESSERT this weekend on both S days WITH OTHERS. I NEED STRICTNESS. (BTW: listen to that podcast, it's brilliant...

lbb (Liz)

Listened to "strictness" podcast last night before bed. WOW! Such common-sense and humor! I love how he said "strictness make things easier". When it's black and white, you have less decisions to make. We are BOMBARDED with food coming at every angle that to decide ahead of time, it makes sense! THa...

lbb (Liz)

Thank you, Sinnie, Amy, oolala, Deb, run girl, millie, and sarahkay for your undying support and enthusiasm! I think of you and your words throughout the day while "in battle"! :) GREEN yesterday! Hooray! Felt extra hungry, mainly the day before, I didn't eat much. Stuck to 3 meals, though and made ...

lbb (Liz)

Splendid, Sinnie! We ARE getting back on track. Always one to start with the cliff notes in college, but have to move, by necessity to reading the entire book...it's like this old No-S. Trying to conform it to MY standards. And, basically make it not interfere or be hard in my life. But, alas, I'm w...

lbb (Liz)

Brilliant advice to refer to often! Thanks, oolala for inadvertently helping me, as well! EVERYONE READ THIS! LOVE COUNTERACTING OUR VOICE! I also love the idea of DECIDING on what you will and won't do ahead of time and being stern about it. I think we fall into serious trouble when we leave it up ...

lbb (Liz)

Brilliant advice, Reinhard. So needed it as well. Thanks for the analogies. It really helps me visual this whiny little toddler appetite who needs firm boundaries! (Can you tell I have toddlers?).
I'll remember this next time I hear those two "voices"!

lbb (Liz)

Brilliant advice, Vicki. I like your idea about not joining the 21=day club. Mainly for an all-or-nothing gal like me, if I have an "oops" and I'm off my 21 days, then I may make my "oops" really worth it!

lbb (Liz)

Hooray for loss of water weight! I also weighed myself today out of curiosity and was down a few pounds from yesterday. Not like I know it's success, but confirms how BLOATED bingeing makes me. Your drink sounds great. Stick to something like that to look forward to when you're making DH's dinner! D...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, Sinnie! Your encouragement really helps. It feels amazing I have to say to have that under my belt and to feel clean and un-bloated this morning. I must remember that! I was looking at the Beck Solution blog and found some great thoughts I remembered yesterday to help me out: "It's not okay ...

lbb (Liz)

Wow! A 12-mile bike ride though! Amazing. I'm sorry you don't feel well. Bingeing NEVER helps, you're right. I think on days when I haven't FIRMLY decided whether or not they are an S day, I end up totally bingeing. There is no "maybe". I know yesterday I had declared an N day and i'm telling ya, at...

lbb (Liz)

Phew. A GREEN N DAY! And it felt so good and I feel so vulnerable and open and non-numb nor sick. It's been awhile since that feeling. Didn't feel hungry for breakfast. Went on a run with a friend and didn't get around to eating until 11:30 a.m.! (Mind you I ate so much last night, no surprise I was...

lbb (Liz)

Sounds like you dented the car and not a total wreck. Not that you can even fail on an S day, but you had some higher expectations of yourself... I, too, relate to the driving in the car bingeing. Did it Saturday night. Two McDonald's ice cream cones and cookies. From 2 diff. McDonald's. Driving alo...

lbb (Liz)

This is very wise, oolala and thanks for bringing this thread back up. I'm learning the insight in saying not to try "mods" after long stretches of N day compliance. "I told ya so..." is what I hear from my conscience! I relate completely on the mod with S's in company. I eat well in front of others...

lbb (Liz)

Never oh never would I be tired of your ever-changing resolutions! I relate in so many ways in the reading too much, thinking about it too much, but not putting it into action. You stole the thoughts from my brain!!! Really, it's nice to see it in someone else and reflect about myself. I so agree on...

lbb (Liz)

I'm back on vanilla too. hahah. sounds funny but if we don't believe it, no one will! :) 120 for you, 126 for me (unacceptable for sure...hate it!). Started my day well with a run, a nice breakfast, will have fish tacos for lunch, and bbq tonight. No treats there, though. Man I feel ya. At restauran...

lbb (Liz)

Needed this! Thanks!

lbb (Liz)

Pretty much am sick right now. Though I ate with my husband, we came home from church this afternoon to hungry to make an official lunch after I had made the boys one, I opened the bag of soy chips, ate them all and my husband was having some trader joes peanut butter pretzels. Of course I had a few...

lbb (Liz)

sounds like a great breakfast to me!
have a good S day and thanks for your support!
you are wise!

lbb (Liz)

I'm totally going to be realistic about today. I have no desire to over-do it in the day-time, so I'll accept that tonight I may just eat a ton. Which I'll be okay with. This morning, I'll use that to my advantage by not eating yet until I'm hungry. Then we have church all day, lunch, and husband wi...

lbb (Liz)

I relate, I ate far too much yesterday as well.
Old habits DO die hard. The whole "get the most for my money!" (or day)
I found myself using food to procrastinate some stuff I had to do.
Vanilla No S? Possibly. I always feel that way on S weekends, but maybe I need it.
Take care today.

lbb (Liz)

actual s day. too much food, but no actual bingeing. with people, but embarrassed by amounts. :) B: scrambled eggs w/ feta S: two donuts L: bag of soy chips (on plate) S: quesadilla (leftover) D: 2 fish tacos S: 2 granola bars 4 choc. chip cookies 2 ice cream cones (mcdonalds small vanilla) yikes th...

lbb (Liz)

i really admire how exact, strict and honest you are. that is really inspiring!
what are your S days like? pretty tame?
thanks.

lbb (Liz)

i really admire how exact, strict and honest you are. that is really inspiring!
what are your S days like? pretty tame?
thanks.

lbb (Liz)

Plan for my S day. I woke up thinking I'd take the boys to donuts for breakfast but after our morning work/jobs, I craved some protein. Not a sugar high immediately. So I made some eggs. I was proud of myself for listening to my body. With my N days, I get in a groove of eating the same-old-same-old...

lbb (Liz)

Sounds delicious, Deb. I'm glad you have it planned out. I, too, am going to plan my S day right as we speak. THOUGHTS are everything. I realized how ingrained our former thoughts are as last night as I was eating dinner and was determined to eat every last bite because that's what I'm used to. But ...

lbb (Liz)

@ Amy: so funny when you put it that way :the blondie tormenting me from the freezer! hahah. like a little blonde gal like myself bugging the crap out of me! hahha. Thanks Sinnie for your support. Sometimes you think, "what's the lesser evil"? Me not bingeing and allowing this and less food, or a cr...

lbb (Liz)

Love the reminders re: strictness. It sure eases decision making when you already are 'pre-disapproved'. I think that's been my source of much anxiety of years of food obsession. "What's my thing? What will I eat there? How much sugar? How many calories? Dessert or no?". SO MANY DECISIONS about triv...

lbb (Liz)

Well Sinnie it is what it is: you didn't BINGE and you were with your Mom. I'm sure you had wished for more strictness on your part, but as you said, PROGRESS not PERFECTION. I think we need to make this a lifestyle change. I do realize later the night gets, the willpower wanes and so treats around ...

lbb (Liz)

Wow great work, Amy on fighting the urge. It's so funny that even when we know how much better we'll feel in the morning if we fight the urge, we still let it get to us! Congrats and I bet you feel a million times better today! I'm excited about your fun S day ahead. Cooking class, pizza night, how ...

lbb (Liz)

YIKES! Sorry about the spider bite!
LOVE the "No Choice!". FIRMNESS is the key!
That is true about one bite...leading to no-good!
I like eating a little later, too. It helps me feel settled for the night. I don't like going to bed feeling hungry.
Take care and have a good day!
Keep up the good work!

lbb (Liz)

Yay for you, Sinnie! And, great advice, Mimi! I love reading others' threads and taking nuggets of wisdom! "NO CHOICE!" Love that. Sometimes I forget that deciding AHEAD of time already simplifies life. I'm proud that you fought thru the urge to eat more. Ya hate to be strict with yourself, but in a...

lbb (Liz)

way to go, Amy! You're right about your proudest moments being when you surpassed the desire to fail and moved along. It instills so much confidence and "tools" for next time! Husbands and food. SO hard. Mine always gets home later, too. It helps for the separate plate thing already set aside. My pr...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks so much for all your support my dear friends! It really is encouraging! I know, Deb, isn't that eye-opening to think that really bingeing is done is such privacy, that when brought in the open, it's no longer really a binge. :) I, too, at parties go back and forth for more, sneak stuff, etc. ...

lbb (Liz)

Oh I feel ya and I can't say what I would do in your situation, because i wouldn't be a very good example. :) But this time is different. Sounds so dumb, but how do we change without changing? I mean sometimes I want things to be so easy that I just change and didn't know it...:) Weird. You have had...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks for your inspiration! Great analogy

lbb (Liz)

"Motorin" gave me permission to quote from their thread. I love this mod. It would really help relieve my S day anxiety and my anxiety about social eating. But most of all, reward me for NO solitary bingeing. My biggest problem. So alas, I have copied and pasted their words: Motorin says: "On second...

lbb (Liz)

hi! well, sinnie sometimes you gotta just "realign" yourself and this may help out. i think it's bad to think "oh no i'm breaking this rule". i don't think calorie counting helps ME, though i often do it. but sometimes i'm freaking out about how many calories i've eaten, then "log it" and feel more ...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, NoSnacker, Amy, and Sinnie! I'll definitely take into account your advice and book recc! I had a GREEN day yesterday and oh it felt so good. It's amazing even in the morning (now) how much better I feel and just clear-headed. Nothing too different yesterday other than no bingey foods in the ...

lbb (Liz)

You CAN hold it together! You just got threw an erratic day and did swell!
That Ethiopian food sounds tasty! NEver tried it.

Good for you for staying out of the kitchen. I think having something to sip on helps a lot, no?

You're doing awesome!

lbb (Liz)

Well 2 things: 1) SO proud you "got the hell out of the kitchen"! Hooray! You could have kept on keeping on and have felt worse. 2) I totally get the being annoyed about feeling better after eating. What is that!? It de-stresses me, takes my mind off things, and calms my nerves. I guess we need to l...

lbb (Liz)

I could have written that post myself. I so often let a little fail trail into a crazy weekend. And the staying up all night due to discomfort/disappointment is all too familiar. I think it helps to see things as a small incident and not as a huge fail. If we think too much into the weekend or into ...

lbb (Liz)

Hi! I'm intrigued by your negative qualification and have read thru a few posts! Thanks for the inspiration in keeping your fails small and just that...moving right along. Not an excuse to go hay-wire. Kinda a "oops" instead. I have been struggling with bingeing and all or nothing thinking. DOn't ha...

lbb (Liz)

Hi, Brianna.
Happy Late Birthday! Hope you're still doing well.

lbb (Liz)

Amy & Brianna: Thank you so much. I really can't say it enough. I think deep down I'm like "is this for real?"..."are there really people out there who "get" it?". I guess so! I'm so lucky to have found such great support. I was thinking today while at the park with some friends how they take a nibb...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks Amy. Had a good day. All fine and dandy food-wise. Sort of... Breakfast: flat out, 2 eggs, one laughing cow cheese Lunch: salad with yesterday's leftover grilled veggies, cheese, olives sweet potato chips Dinner at Safeco field (mariners/rangers game): one italian sausage dog with "the works"...

lbb (Liz)

that is so hard, amy. when they come home and you wanna chat/nibble.
live and learn! next time say, "i can catch up with you AFTER dinner!".

take care.

lbb (Liz)

Hi motorin! I really enjoyed reading your last few posts re: bingeing and your mods. I relate so much to isolation eating. Just yesterday I found myself taking job in escaping and sneaking food. That is my biggest weakness. I can eat with others and not have the same affect as my binges. Since I don...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks, Amy! I love what you said about not beating myself up. I needed that. I think more than anything I was looking at myself from an objective by-stander thinking "what the heck are you doing?". I'm just confused as to why I couldn't be satisfied yesterday! Though my tummy was full! Yes having c...

lbb (Liz)

Never too optimistic in my world, Sinnie! I'm so proud of you. This is great. I agree: you enjoyed and not in binge-mode. WITH family. That's what it's all about. It's funny b/c when I had a scoop of ice cream WITH my guests/family last night, it almost felt like it didn't count and I wanted everyon...

lbb (Liz)

Hooray Amy! I'm so proud of you. You are an inspiration to me! I love that you let go and trusted in your N days to get your S days down. I think of when I've been happiest on NO-S, and that is when! I'm going N compliant because, really, every day has seemed like an "S" lately and that's no good. T...

lbb (Liz)

I don't know what came over me today. I felt insatiable and just so completely unsatisfied. I ate an insane amount. Not so much early in the day, but so much later. After I had company over, they took home the ice cream, but I was jone-sing for something to munch on while I did the dishes. It's like...

lbb (Liz)

Hope the rest of your day went well. Sounds like enjoyable time with husband this weekend with the movie, going out to dinner, etc. He sounds so accommodating! Aren't husbands in an awkward spot when they know you're doing something you'll regret? Yikes. I know how it is to look back at a time when ...

lbb (Liz)

Great wisdom and insight, again, oolala. Welcome back we have missed you! I think your S days' rules are very reasonable. I know I do better with a little structure. As long as there are no actual rules as to WHAT I can eat, specifically, just quantity, I think I would feel lots less deprived. Good ...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks again girls. Such great wisdom and insight! You're right Sinnie: it's hard for me to add variety like bagels to my meals. I'm scared of variety. It throws me off. And unlike you, I have a hard time listening to my body and knowing that hungry/full switch. Something to work on, for sure. I thi...

lbb (Liz)

What a breakthrough, Amy! Sounds like such a reasonable Saturday!
Yes I really think it is realistic to think of oneself with disordered behaviors, for sure. It makes it something you DO, not who you ARE!
Good luck today. Enjoy!

lbb (Liz)

Thanks Sinnie & Amy. True friends indeed! Just had to report on a "success" for me! I'm not really taking "S" days, just doing N days and a possible treat here and there if it comes my way. So today, I had usual oats, went on a long run, a family bike ride, and to my son's tee ball game. Afterwards,...

lbb (Liz)

Great post, oolala. I concur completely. I would like to think it will just get easier for me and often not in my life, but will have to be hyper-aware of my triggers. I like how looking back to last year, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, if you are better off, that is considered the right road. In this b...

lbb (Liz)

Thanks for all your support over in my court, Amy! You are stellar! I think your mod is great. I think Friday night with family is totally different now with kids. When something SETS YOU APART (not eating with your family), it will backfire. Friday to Saturday afternoon is perfect. Whatever works f...

lbb (Liz)

Good day. Definitely a "failure" with No-S standards but I kind of need to do what's best for me. I'm not straying from No-S, but simply remembering what I know to be true for myself. My happiest times with food and eating were when I identified all "ED" behaviors, and personified "ED" and kicked HI...

lbb (Liz)

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

lbb (Liz)

I agree Sinnie. I understand how it is to want their help, but also to push them away once they help. Maybe it would help to see someone? I know I have seen my fair share of people, but that was over 10 years ago. I don't think it would hurt me to re-visit that. I too stand in awe of the WHY. Why la...

lbb (Liz)

WOAH baby! (s)!
That is awesome and overwhelming all at the same time. I hate to say it: but Baskin Robbins would be the least of my worries if carrying twins!
Cause for celebration/woah moment!

lbb (Liz)

princesstina: thanks for the recommendation of that site: i'll check it out! glad you had a better day today. sugar is so hard to give up. i'm all or nothing too and need to train myself to be able to enjoy a little and not the whole sh'bang! of course, gobble, you can join! anyone! it's just great ...

lbb (Liz)

Had a strange day full of lots of different emotions. I was up all night with a stubborn 2 year old who is now in a "big boy bed" and kept getting up and out all night long. Not the best timing to quit my intense caffeine addiction! But I had none in the house. So I was dragging a bit today. Anyways...

lbb (Liz)

Hi, my friend. So how was the rest of your night once the hubs got home? Well I'm glad that you listened to yourself and had some fruit. I think when it comes down to it, if we could do two things really well it would be: 1) listen to our body 2) stay in the present moment I know I didn't listen to ...

lbb (Liz)

Sinnie oh how I relate and feel ya! Mainly on the confusion and the "is this the best thing for me?". I think the most important thing, as we've addressed, is to KNOW yourself best. No one "diet" or rule system will work for everyone. I DO think No-S has a great outline in meeting out body's needs w...

lbb (Liz)

YAHOO!
Keep it up. Cheering for you.

lbb (Liz)

Agree with r.jean and it's coming from a former calorie counter goddess...:) I still mentally count sometimes, but stop because for some reason, it only does back to bite me. Like, if I'm not THAT hungry and don't eat much, but see I haven't "USED" up all my calories, then I'll still over-load to me...

lbb (Liz)

haha. i SO did the shorts thing this week. i have these cute grey shorts that are supposed to be kinda tight, but i literally i had to take them off after an hour cuz' they were uncomfortable! :0 too much over-doing it. it's been good and hard these past 3 days with vanilla. it's so weird like i hav...

lbb (Liz)

I really think this is individual for everyone. Hard fast rules are GOOD if YOU stick to them all the time. I know for me, if I went out with girls and ate a lot, but then didn't drive home and continue that eating....then I'd consider it an S, not a Red. It's in my mind-set. I KNOW when I'm indulgi...

lbb (Liz)

emullett: you nailed it. that IS a hard time to stay compliant. i like your idea of brewing a pot of coffee. for me, i have some herbal tea, a diet soda, etc. eating is such a social thing. princesstina: i totally relate, but i mainly struggle only after dinner when i want treats. truthfully, if it'...
