Everyday Systems

What made me stray? The first time I married I was 19 and I got pregnant on the honeymoon. For the first 3 months of that pregnancy I was sick 24/7 so when the morning sickness left the eating began. I gained 60 lbs w/my first son and lost 50 when, sonofagun I got pregnant again! Another 60 lbs and ...

How do use that quote option when you want to reply to a post? I did it once, but I don't quite know how I managed it and now I can't do it again . Jeeeeeez!

Thanks, in advance.

Blithe Morning said: One of the most useful tidbits I took away from Mindless Eating was how those "hidden" calories add up. Sounds like I should read this book too! One thing I try very hard not to do is "taste" foods as I cook. That's an easy way to pack on extra calories. I suppose one could tast...

Candigirl, My snack time has always been in the evening after dinner. I'm still really new to No S, but I've adjusted our eating schedule so that dinner comes at 6:30 or 7pm. So far that's been working because I had made a lot of progress in the past by not eating past 8pm. I also always have a glas...

I like the idea of a challenge because you really feel like part of a team, and that satisfies any competetive urges people have. I've only had two S days so far. About the only thing I did differently was add dark chocolate and a few really special and yummy bakery treats. I have a real sweet tooth...

OMG, talk about a trip down memory lane! I've been on soooo many stupid diets! I once tried some kind of liquid diet through a hypnotist (Lord, until today I had buried that awful week). The liquid stuff you had to drink (bought from..guess who...the hypnotist) was vile enough, but we also had to dr...

Lilly, I'll keep those prayers goin'. I've only been in CA for 10 years, but it seems like no matter where in the world you live, there are natural disasters to be concerned about. When I lived in PA it was always hurricanes and sink holes! My oldest son and his family live in Orlando and come June ...

Thanks much, Stacey Jo!

Diane

Fantastic, scyence!! You got goal !

Diane

Lilly, Are you in CA? We're in Southern CA and on the news last night I heard that "sometime within the next 30 years" there's a 99.7% chance of a strong earthquake around Palm Springs. Even tho' we're 80 or so miles west of there, we'll still have significant earthquake activity. We're due west of ...

Buffalo Girl, Hi there. Boy what a role model you are; I'm impressed. If you are looking for a great walking shoe, check out CardioStrides. They're sold only thru Nikken, and they have removeable weighted insoles so that you can get a great cardio workout even if you just wear them around the house....

Day 3 completed. I find it's easier to be "aware" while No S-ing. Day 4: Good beginning to day w/smoothie for breakfast. Lunch will be a grilled mahi mahi bowl from Rubio's. I'm good about the No S habit; need to get better on the movement habit. Note to Self: The bowl from Rubio's tastes awesome, b...

Hey, Lilly! How about: foods that are labeled to sound healthy but aren't? Or, LOWFAT because they've added SUGAR to make it taste better? You just can't trust anything but the ingredients label, and sometimes even then you have to be a chemist to understand them. I've seen food labels for products ...

Oh my gosh, you all are soooo right! I'm almost afraid to tell my mom I'm doing this because she'll say "Well, that's what I've been telling you to do!" Of course, she has every right to say that :lol: The more of the book I read, the more I remember how it was when I was growing up and we all only ...

Hey Beachgirl, My response was to Milczar, who actually listed reasons to dislike teaching. Far be it from me to ever dissuade anyone from wanting to teach! Heaven knows we need all the good teachers we can get. My youngest son teaches 9th grade history. Now I would be very unhappy teaching children...

I know exactly how you feel. I get so angry when crap drinks cost less than water. IT'S WATER!!! I refuse to eat foods that contain high fructose corn syrup. It's in EVERYTHING. (And I just noticed it's even in Campbell's tomato soup -wtf?) Amy's Organics are the BEST. So when I purchase pure simpl...

Hey! Reinhard just needs to get Oprah interested in his plan! If he'd appear on her show it would be the best sort of publicity. There's got to be a way to garner her interest. She just did a show on the evils of puppy mills that I saw last week, and those people took out a billboard outside her off...

Hi LauraAnn! Good thing Reinhard doesn't live next door to you, your hubby may have attacked :lol: I, too, have a considerable amount of fat to release so I'm gonna keep checking in with you to see how things are going. (I said release instead of lose 'cause I'm so tired of finding fat after I lose ...

Yes, I'm still rather "chili proud" :lol: The Pastor took all the left-over chili on Saturday night and dumped it all together for what she then called "ecumenical chili" :lol: Enjoyed two wonderful days with dark chocolate and baked goods, but much to my surprise I didn't totally go beserk. I was k...

Wosnes,

Did you click on the site directly from this site? I just double checked it and it worked just fine. I hope you give it another try. Any comments about what you read there are welcome!

Diane

How did all you other newbies do? Ooooo, confession time, eh? Well, even though I had only one N day prior to my first S days, I was totally amazed that I was more mindful of how and what I ate. Oh, don't worry, I bought enough baked treats for 2 days of desserts and I enjoyed every last one of the...

My super power is loading the dishwasher. I don't think I get it from vegetables though. Do you load from the front or the back???? :lol: Seriously, I loved that! OMG, if all of the WW dropouts lined up, how long a line do you suppose that would be? I did WW too and did really well as long as my hu...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really wanna finish up Atonement. It is a quick read--I read it in less than a day. BTW--is Atonement a good book? Have you seen the movie? If so, do you recommend reading the book or seeing the movie first? I have t...

Just ordered the book. :-) But I need to finish A New Earth first. :-) How do you like A New Earth, MoonGoddess? I'm on my second reading and need to play "catch up" on the classes, but the book is awesome. I so agree with the main thread of this post: Buy The Book! I saw the article in WW, read it...

Lilly, et al, Great commentary from everyone. I, too, like fruits and veggies and some days I hit the so-called quota and other days, not so much. I'm thinking I might eat more fruit if I eat it with lunch and dinner, (ok, I'll put it on my plate on top of everything else, then take it off and eat i...

First S-day, and I really enjoyed it. We had a chili-cook off at church tonight and my chili got the most votes. I got to have sweets today..oh joy. Day 2 completed and didn't overdo things, much to my surprise.

Hi jereneew and Kim. I'm new too, and Reinhard's advice is so solid. Look at it this way (short term, for example): if you follow the No S Diet plan faithfully for 3 months, and add some form of movement (i.e. exercise) on a daily basis, what results will you see at the end of 3 months? Three months...

Be your own boss! You have wonderful organizational and leadership skills as a teacher, plus you obviously have a gift for imparting knowledge. I have a j.o.b., but I'm tired of everyone telling me how much money I'm "worth", I'm tired of having to schedule my life around other people, I'm tired of ...

Day one. Great start to the day; took thyroid pill, waited over 1 hr. to eat. Took meds, ate homemade breakfast sammie, coffee and an orange. Will do Greenzymes and vitamins at 1pm and lunch somewhere around 2pm. OK I already know the no snacking part will be the most difficult in the evening. Maybe...

stupid daylight savings time.

time is 12/07 pm

It's 12:05 pm

nope. try it again

Everyone: you know you're going to go to the grocery store, so buy a copy of Woman's World! It is so worth making a special trip for. Congratulations, Reinhard! I wish you much success and am looking forward to this new journey.

Best,
Diane

WOW :!: I just read about the No S Diet in Woman's World and I love the entire concept. I have lots of weight to lose...I lose it and lose it and always find it. I know why: I'm lazy :oops: . I know all the right things to do and all the right foods to eat and all the right quantities, but I bore ea...
