I have no idea why, but I really am excited about your prune purchase! Do you like dried figs? I think they are yummy too. I think they are in the same fruit family. I have read that in France, some people end their meal with a little bit of cheese with dried figs. Supposedly, the little protein/car...

Hi Deb, I can only hope you guys get used to my own special brand of crazy! The secret is out! I really am crazy. As well as neurotic and extremely indecisive! You know, I have always been like this and it's only gotten worse after I have gotten older : ) I go up and down all the time. Back and fort...

I don't think they have "French" roast coffee or "French" fries in France, either! No, we don't have "American" hard gums here :) I don't know what "American" hard gums are, they sound like something attached to dentures! Do you know.... I had NO IDEA "English" muffins didn't come from England? :sho...

I am a prune/dried plum devotee myself. 4 or 6 sounds like a perfectly moderate amount. I know the recommended serving size on my container is 5 dried plums for a total of 100 calories. I like to have 10 almonds and 5 plums as a mini meal. I have a coworker who works out every day and really watches...

Hi Deb, I think you and I are on the same "schedule" I have been feeling a little introspective myself today. I think you are still doing such a WONDERFUL job with "No S". You wrote that you had nine good days and were not going to start over. I think that is probably the healthiest mental thing you...

1/15/06 I can't believe I forgot it was on S day to be honest with you! The first 10 days of No S turned out to be all S days for me. I kept snacking and eating candy and stuff. I decided to *really* try to stick to the No S habit on the 11th since almost every day I kept messing up. I am getting r...

3aday

I forgot it was an S day today

I will have to remember to treat myself tomorrow because next weekend is 7 days away!

3aday

Thanks Kevin : )
I am going to try to stick to 4 meals for a little while.
I chose 3aday as my username in hopes that, in time, I can go down to 3.
That's my longterm goal
For now, I just hope to stop the mindless snacking and constantly eating sweets habit that I followed for years.

Yes, yes tomorrow is the full moon. I thought it would be tonight. It would have been an interesting coincidence. No, I live in Jacksonville, FL now. I dream of living up North again but I don't think I will ever be able to afford it : ( Grew up in Central Jersey by the shore. My parents still live ...

3aday

I am so glad you post some of your recipes.
They all sound so wholesome and tasty.
I think you are doing great!
Becky

3aday

Thanks for the recipe.
It sounds simple and magnificent.
Luckily, I can throw in the feta.
Having a Turkish husband, we always have yummy feta around!
I understand about the "medicinal" Coke.
It makes me feel better when I am down and not feeling 100%
Try not to work to hard this weekend.
Becky

3aday

Full moon and Friday the 13th!

3aday

I still think you are doing great. Stay positive and stay focused! I will pray for you so that more steady work comes your way. I can relate to the pickle incident. I have had similar encounters with those pickles. Whenever I go home, I have issues with kosher garlic pickles, pizza, bagels, sabrett ...

3aday

Glad you are feeling better!
The chick peas in lime juice sounds deeelish.
Do you serve them hot or cold?
Do you just squeeze some lime juice and that's it?
I love chick peas!

Thanks, Carolejo. I think both you and Debbie have been instrumental in changing my way of thinking about the way I eat. I can't thank you enough for helping me on this new way of life!

Thanks CaroleJo. Now that I think about it, my big blow out day was not as bad as a Regular Before No S day. Instead of focusing on what I ate, I am going to focus on feeling better.

Thanks Reinhard!
You truly have created a great plan.
Why is it so hard for us to be normal and have common sense in regards to eating?
Thanks for reminding us how normal No S is.
