The Blessings of Simplicity

Kathleen

Linda, The youngest probably just needs to mature! Wait until she has to earn her own money! That helped our kids to grow up. I am quite delighted with the difference in personality from 18 to 25 in our oldest daughter. We had so much fun visiting her in Oregon in May. You can look forward to the da...

Kathleen

Linda, The world revolves around students. Everything is geared towards pleasing them and making them look good. It can be a real shock to join the work world. The older they get, the less you can direct them. All you can do is say, "It is our money, and we won't finance that." I actually find it ve...

Kathleen

What a beautiful state! I visited Anne last year and last month in Oregon. Enjoy your time with your children!
Kathleen

Kathleen

lpearlmom, I feel for you. I tried IE and found that my stomach would growl around food! I felt like I was starving all the time even though my kids nicknamed that diet The Peanut Cluster Diet because I was eating lots of peanut clusters! NoS really is a mild form of IF since you fast between dinner...

Kathleen

Glad to get an update! We learn from each other. I do suspect most counselors have had eating issues themselves just as the authors of Intuitive Eating — and NoS — have!

Glad to hear it! Those years of having children at home are fleeting! I am keenly aware of that fact today because we will see our married daughter twice this month but last saw her at Thanksgiving.

Hi Linda, This is off topic, but I did want to explain myself. It's "a transgender kid in every classroom" that concerns me. What changed in just a few years (seven) from when there were no transgender kids in my oldest child's high school to today when there is a transgender kid in every classroom?...

Kathleen

What a beautiful post, nonoodles.

Kathleen

Linda, I am so glad to see that attitude! The teenage years go by so fast, and I think it is just critical that Mom is available and involved during those years. There is seven years' difference in age between our youngest and our oldest, and we have seen some dramatic differences: a transgender kid...

Kathleen

Welcome back! Maybe there is a reason why we never left the No S discussion group even though we committed to intermittent fasting!
Kathleen

Kathleen

Hi Tex Ark, My 93 year old mother was thin all my life. 5'6 1/2" as an adult, she was probably never more than 130 pounds. She is now under 5'. She is completely in control of her senses, still drives, and lives in a retirement community. She told me the last time I visited that she weighs more now ...

Kathleen

Hi Linda, IF led to binge eating when I tried 3 36 hour fasts per week, when I tried OMAD, when I tried a 4 hour eating window, and even when I tried a 6 hour eating window. I did not lose weight with an 8 hour eating window and gained weight with a 12 hour eating window. That's why I settled on a 7...

Kathleen

Linda, Don't take it as a failure of willpower that you are feeling burned out on fasting. Maybe it is your body that has had enough, and it is best to listen to it. I tried an eating window of 12 hours and gained back 10 of the 15 pounds I had lost with a 7 hour window, so now I am back to the 7 ho...

Kathleen

Margot17,
I am disgusted because I never questioned the need to have breakfast. I started every day eating because I should.
Kathleen

Kathleen

Hi Linda,
Thanks for the encouragement. To be honest, I feel a lot of disgust realizing all I had to do to lose weight was skip breakfast. Now, to your point, I need to be patient and let my body release the excess weight in its own time.

lpearlmom, We ended up with a rule: "It takes two yeses." Guess why we made the rule that kids need a "yes" from Mom and a "yes" from Dad? I kept giving in. You really know you are a softie when your teenage daughter calls you a softie to your face! Ah, those days... Our children are now 17, 19, 22,...

You have the most important career of all.

Kathleen

Thanks for the info, lpearlmom. I'll have to look into it!
Kathleen

Kathleen

lpearlmom, If the person you are paying an hourly fee is from a national organization, could you let us know the name of it or message it to me? I looked all over for someone who would give us financial advice at an hourly rate. All I found were people who wanted to manage our assets. Thanks! Kathleen

Kathleen

Standard financial advisor fee is 2% of assets under management. If you give them $1,000,000 to manage, they take $20,000 off the top every year. They have to make $20,000 on that $1,000,000 every year before you get anything. Just be careful. We ended up throwing all our retirement income into the ...

Hi lpearlmom, We'd never do the hardcore Dave Ramsey program, either, but we do get ideas from him. Tracking every dollar has yielded some interesting holes in our budget, especially with Katie sweet talking me into stuff! Chicken coops! Pedicures! Clothing! And a semester abroad! Good luck! Kathleen

Kathleen

lpearlmom, Try listening to Dave Ramsey on the radio or maybe even taking his Financial Peace University class. He advocates no use of credit cards. We put almost all expenditures on credit cards so we can easily track expenditures, but we really like his idea that being out of debt is critically im...

Hi automated eating, I have a theory that it is better to die naturally. Did you know that the average number of prescription medications is supposed to be one per decade?

lpearlmom, I tried extended fasting after four months of being at the same weight, and my weight only went down in December because I got sick and didn't eat much for three days. Today I did not eat at all. I did not like it. At all. Because I have a colonoscopy on Friday, I cannot just stop the fas...

Kathleen

simmstone, Oh, am I ever adjusted to the eating window! Mine is from 12 - 7 PM. I am having a colonoscopy on Friday and specifically asked if I could just fast from Wednesday to Friday instead of having to restrict what I eat. Last night, it occurred to me that I might as well eat past 7 PM since I ...

Kathleen

lpearlmom, I agree that fasting makes you less obsessive about food. Who cares if you miss a meal by an hour or so? Who cares if you don't have a specific type of food at home? Really, who cares about what you put into your mouth? You eat what most appeals to you of what is readily available when yo...

Hi Soprano, I think this may be the only way I can lose weight. Today I brought my size 18 jeans to donate to the thrift store. They were too big.

Soprano, I will agree with lpearlmom on this one. I've gone multiple days of not eating and not feeling hunger. There is a French saying that roughly translates: "Eating creates hunger." I think it may be eating carbohydrates that leads to hunger but am not sure. You do have to get used to fating, b...

Kathleen

Hi Soprano,
I decided to set up the journal through the summer since it will be a busy summer -- trips to Oregon, California, and New Jersey; a week on a houseboat; four camping trips; taking Katie to and from camp five hours away... That is all. I will write something today.

Larkspur, I decided to continue eating as much as I want and anything at all that I want and only use one lever, time. Today I bought Trader Joe's coffee ice cream. I am committed to fasting until 5 and then finishing eating by 7. A two hour span gives me the ability to adjust if, for example, Ellie...

Kathleen

oolala53, I have come to the conclusion that something has to change, so cutting back on sweets seems like a good addition. I immediately ate more sweets. Why is that? I have no idea. It seems bizarre but maybe the only lever of control I have been able to exercise over my eating is timing for eatin...

Kathleen

oolala53, The candy I bought was replacement for the candy I ate, not candy I would eat myself. I though that fasting would reduce calories and perhaps also choice of foods. It has to some extent, but I'm still obese. I like the idea of cutting out sugar. Pastries and doughnuts never were a big temp...

Kathleen

oolala53, I was joking about technicalities. Actually, I have been debating about restricting sweets but haven't actually restricted sweets yet. This week, I ate so much of Ellie's Easter candy that I went and got some more. You bring up a suggestion that merits some consideration that maybe I shoul...

Larkspur, That was beautiful, and it reminds me that I have been blessed to have my parents until I was almost 60.

Thanks, Strawberry Roan. It's a shock. Tom lost his mother last month, and we were talking about the finality of it all -- this person who has always been in your life is no more. I have two favorite pictures of him, one of him climbing on the back of a camel with my mother and the camel about to ta...

Thank you, Larkspur. He was so happy to be a father. Can you imagine how it felt to know that you made someone else happy by your very presence?
Kathleen

Kathleen

Thank you, Eileen. He was a wonderful father and grandfather. It hurts.

Kathleen

So interesting -- Why would a taste in food change? I believe that the answer may be in the gut microbes. I read this article in yesterday's Minneapolis Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/why-is-fiber-so-good-for-us/467921523/ It made me wonder if fasting changes the gut microbe so that a tast...

Kathleen

True!!!

The theory behind what I am doing is that fasting naturally and without willpower decreases appetite so you eat less. What I have also found is it changes taste to more healthful foods.

Kathleen

Kathleen

Oh, that's OK. I tried the Alternate Day Diet and did get down to 217. That was summer of 2016. The problem was I did not think it was sustainable because I had to miss dinner every other night with my family.
Kathleen

Kathleen

Thank you for the encouragement!

Kathleen

Hi Linda, I did try shorter eating windows and found that I was poised at the start of the window to grab every food in sight. I then went to an 8 hour window (11 AM - 7 PM) and found that doable and then shortened it to 12 - 7 PM. What I have found is that I generally don't start eating at the begi...

oolal53, I think a better gauge of success is if you feel better. Dr. Bert Herring, who invented the Fast-5 Diet of eating only within a 5 hour window daily, has a philosophy called "The Study of One." You need to do what works for you. Although I am frustrated by a mere 5 pound weight loss in 6 mon...

Kathleen

lpearlmom,
I requested to join. Thank you! There always was something right but not quite enough about No S for me, and now I think I know why: I needed to fast more in order to lower insulin levels.
Kathleen

Kathleen

Fantastic, lpearmom! NoS Diet is a fasting diet in that you fast between dinner and breakfast (about 12 hours) five days per week. I'm looking back and thinking it does work for some people, but my insulin resistance required stronger medicine.
Kathleen

Kathleen

Hi Virginia,
Evening snacking isn't an issue for me; it's more being able to eat in the afternoon, so an 11 AM - 7 PM eating window is actually really easy. I'm not quite settled on when to fast, but I'm convinced fasting is the way to go! Thanks for asking --
Kathleen

Kathleen

Thanks, gingerpie. I think I'm headed in the right direction. It may be that I need more of a fasting period of 18 hours per day rather than 16, so I'll work towards that, starting with a fasting period of 16.5 hours per day.
Kathleen

Kathleen

gingerpie, It is fasting and only fasting. I think it might be counterproductive to add behaviors. Fasting alone will lead to weight loss over time. I sense it already: I eat less to get to a feeling of fullness. With overeating, how are you supposed to know the bite that qualifies as overeating? I ...

Kathleen

"The behavior is the goal." I like that idea. Overeating is not something that can easily be measured, but fasting 16 hours out of 24 is something that can be measured.

navi, Thanks. I still have hope that I'll figure out something that works. Your story was very inspiring. Kathleen oolala53, It's not that I am unable to identify motivation to reduce overeating; it's that food restriction leads very quickly to binge behavior. Binge behavior is not something I can c...

Kathleen

Navi, What a fantastic story! I had thought that there was a universal way to lose weight and I was determined to find it and model this approach to my children. Years and years later, I am humbled to realize that we each have to customize an approach for ourselves. Today is yet another Day 1 for me...

Kathleen

gingerpie, I did not last one day with eating within 1 hour. I'm realizing that I can only go so far with a healthy habit and then things fall apart: 10,000 steps as a goal, not 12,000; fast walking 3 times per week, not 5; fasting 16 hours per day, not 18 or 20 or 23... Any sort of restriction of q...

No. It's fine. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel. Disruption is good. Thanks,
Kathleen

Kathleen

oolala53, It's not a matter of pleasure in eating -- of that I am sure. I do not know why I need to eat to stuffed. It's like having a car in overdrive: you need to do something to get it out of overdrive. I am going to try eating only within a 1 hour window on days that I am able to do so without o...

Kathleen

The truth hurts. Maybe I need to focus on eating to satisfaction rather than to stuffed. At any rate, what I've done so far hasn't worked.
