I can't eat the way I used to! Crazy weekend -- big reception Saturday cancelled due to snowstorm and the food went home with anyone who would take it. I was selective: pecan pie and chocolate covered gingerbread! and Camembert and wine. And it was an S weekend and a snow day and the holidays, so I ...

I've had that experience in Buffalo, NoSnacker! I went on a bus trip to a museum there for a 2-hour presentation. When we went in, the sky was blue and the pavements were bare, when we came out, there was a blinding blizzard and the whole world was white! Gotta love that lake effect! And it makes yo...

I just think of N as normal, S as special -- anything else makes me feel a little rebellious, especially the "NO -" aspect, as Diligence mentions. I also find it helpful to reinforce what is for me a new normal by reminding myself that moderate eating three times a day really is how normal people in...

Oh, automated, I read about your triumph over the hill at work yesterday, but didn't have time to respond -- and now the hill has won again. :-( Maybe some things will always be up and down (get it? get it?)! Seriously, that is one of my big challenges -- mustering the energy of mind to walk. You ju...

Success story -- sort of. Today is really cold, subzero windchills, so I put on my silk long johns under my knit dress pants this morning. While I was walking around the house, feeding the dogs, etc., I noticed a strange feeling -- and before I knew what was happening, my pants fell down! :lol: Glad...

"Yes, I seek the chaos, but I don't want it once I'm done." Nobody wants anything excessive or dangerous once they're done. The trick is not to want it before you start! I am serious -- I think if you still want it on weekends, then keep doing it -- so that you won't do it on N days. (I also think y...

Good topic! With jobs, I'm good for 8-10 years. With diets: I stuck with strict low carb for about two years, then another couple of years of teasing myself with just enough carbs to keep me frustrated. I'll reach the 6 month mark on No S on New Year's Eve! I like my routine, but I have become a lot...

Another post from jacfeed, this one under shovelglove, seems to be pushing cellphones in French. I preferred the one in Spanish that offered us tips on clothes to disguise how fat we are . . .
