My first Monday of summer vacation is nearly over. It's silly that all I could think of to do is clean, clean, clean. It's even sillier that I've never figured out how to clean without totally wrecking the place first. I'll try to pace myself eventually, but right now while I'm in the mood, I'm goin...

I know 'at my age' my body is *supposed* to put on a few pounds - like 10-15 pounds. Fat cells make estrogen and it's all part of the balancing act our bodies do to keep us healthy.

Oh, dear. That doesn't sound like fun at all. I just feel so terribly behind in every part of my life right now. I have felt like I have been 'white knuckling' it for so long. I look forward to being able to clean my house, spend more time cooking and maybe even go for some hikes, bike rides and ten...

I really panicked at first after being face to face with the dressing room mirror. My first thoughts went straight to hardcore dieting and exercise but then I calmed down and remembered that I was losing weight on vanilla nos and that's all I really need to do is go back to that. Easy peasy! Oh, I ...

We're only talking about 2-3 pounds, but being my thyroid doc, he knows how tough it really is. Speaking of tough, it's been a rough week. Nothing particularly bad, just a lot going on. It's always like that this time of year so nothing to do but 'Hold tight and pretend it's a plan' 8) That's what I...

Hi there. Another name I remember from my early days here. I"m trying to think of a favorite comfort food - maybe hot chocolate? Not packet stuff, not low-fat and not microwaved. Just milk, sugar and cocoa heated on the stove. A couple of people here did bite counting. I think it can be extreme, but...

That happens to me with a couple of people on here Reflections on a four day weekend: (Yes, I had Good Friday and Easter Monday off. It was bliss) I've noticed it is far easier to wait until the next meal when I'm physically hungry than it is when I just 'feel like' eating something. That, of course...

I definitely ate too much today, too, but at least it was good stuff: Croissant for breakfast, Eggs Benedict for lunch, hot cross buns for tea, and BBQ chicken with chipotle raspberry glaze, grilled artichokes and strawberry shortcake for dinner. Oh yeah, and a couple of chocolate mini eggs in betwe...

The nutella was mixed in the waffles. It was the first time I've tried making these, but I'm softof catering to my youngest who is having a tough time eating due to new braces. The weather yesterday was certainly cold for mid-April, especially after all the upper 70s lately. The sun is out now and i...

It was so nice this morning to wake to the sound of rain. It's turning to snow, now, but hopefully it won't stick around. I am no longer wishing for a snow day. We're so close to the end of the school year now I dislike the idea of adding snow days to the end. I did weigh myself, though I haven't pu...

After spending the majority of the day doing practically nothing, I must be at least somewhat rested up from this last week, since I'm beginning to feel like doing something. It was particularly stressful and exhausting. I don't say that to brag about how 'busy' or 'important' I am - I dislike havin...

I visited your blog a couple of weeks ago and decided to try your method for myself. I wondered if that could be the missing piece that would get things moving for me. I haven't cut back nearly as much as you did, but even so, the results have been interesting. I'm going to write about them on my th...

Thanks for the welcome and comments! Things are going well despite some particularly trying circumstances. It really does help to head off mindless eating off by having a simple 'I don't snack' attitude. There is no thinking, bargaining, no vacillating - it's a simple 'no'. Or in the case of offered...

Apparently, I just can't stay away - or here for that matter. Or maybe this is my yearly check-in. I don't think I have ever fully abandoned No S. I find I dislike snacking even more as time goes on. It seems everywhere I look people can't do anything or go anywhere without food. And no one I know (...
