Reinhard, I forgot to tell you in that drink post....I have decided to save my hot chocolate/cocoa for S days! I think I was trying to fence around the law with my post in that thread! Thank you for enlightening me!

Well, it is a natural herb :twisted: My cats go ballistic when there are flowers or plants around.

My portions have sneakily gotten bigger on me too :wink: I tried to watch my portions today.

Thank you Deb,
You too!

Gardening sounds so nice. I live in a little apartment and dream of not a regular garden but an herb garden. Unfortunately, Natty and Chicki love plants and herbs :cry: If for some wierd chance I get flowers, I have to put them on top of my refrigerator. Would you believe they even jump up there to ...

I think, in time, the actual habit of maintaining No S will increase your self esteem and self confidence. Even if you don't follow it 100%, every day that you work on eating 3 or 4 meals a day and staying away from crash diets, is an improvement. I think, maybe, because we are taking the control ba...

Sharing a step bench?
I would pay to see that!
I could never do that. I think I would repeatly collide with my partner!
(No coordination)
I liked step class but I was always embarrased that I was always "off" or going the opposite direction of the rest of the class.
Again, Happy Belated birthday.

Maybe we should start a Hamburger Helper Anonymous group! About your weak No S week, I had one too. And, I felt a little bad about it.

I ate peanut butter and applesauce at a friends house a long time ago. I have never had it on plain bread though. She gave it to me on toasted pumpernicle bread.

I am happy tomorrow and Sunday are S days.

I need to stop half essing and get my act together.

But, I still want to pat myself on the back because my eating habits are getting "a little" better.

It looks like you are doing well. I have similar struggles with the funny stuff but I know, in my heart, this plan is the best plan out there. Some people catch on to it right away and some of us have little struggles until we get the knack of the habit. Even half essed is better than full No S. I t...

I had already eaten dinner at D and B's so it would have been a second dinner and it was around 10:30pm so I didn't eat it but I wanted to. But it smelled soooooooooooooooooo good.

No alcohol for me tonight after Monday. I drank and woke up in the middle night and ate dry shredded wheat cereal! I didn't even really remember doing that except that the empty box was by my nightstand! I'll remember the appetizer advice and have it all fit on one plate if I don't get my own meal. ...

You really have inspired me...especially when adding that the first year you followed the plan 80%

I really am happy for you and have peace that I can continue eating like this especially after my rough week.

So, thanks!

Oooooooooh. Avocados, there so healthy. But, I am a bad girl by nature and like them in chicken sandwiches (um, breaded and fried chicken) with some onion, munster cheese, and of course, bacon!

Hi Freakwitch,
I just wanted to let you know that I did the 3 meals.
I figured if you can do 2 meals a day, then I can surely do 3!
Sooo, just wanted to thank you for the motivation.
Looks like you are doing great with No S!
You meals sound tasty and healthy too!
Thanks

Currently I have been doing the 3 meals plus a planned mini meal in the mid afternoon.

In Spain and France, hot chocolate is one of the most popular breakfast beverages. Some traditionalists even have it during le gouter/pause gourmande between 3 and 6.
