Hi! It's probably not that helpful to compare ourselves, but I find that I feel 'hungrier' on S days when I kind of 'know' I'm allowed to have snacks Oh this hits the nail on the head. when I know I "can" or "may"...I do. and yes, the little cravings and hunger pangs come back worse on Saturday and...

e-lyn thanks for dropping by. I think I'll follow your example and go to the end of the year before tweaking things, though I am going to get back to serious with the low fat part of the McDougalling that I've been doing for seven years. When I eat fat, even chips as part of a meal, I gain weight. T...

Had an S day yesterday, as I had a lovely spur of the moment day trip out of state to visit an old friend. still, I didn't go too badly overboard. I ate a pile of grease sticks (Fries) and munched some popcorn on my drive home. Otherwise, normal. Today my appetite is HATING ME. It has given me grief...

I'm curious about your chia seed pudding. I have a recipe that is similar but no apple juice. Is that the only sweetener you used? I'm anxious to try it! Three TBSP of chia seed to one cup of liquid, and I didn't have quite enough almond milk, so i did 1/2 c of almond milk and 1/2 c of apple juice....

Oh mercy, Marcie! I'm trying that two meal a day thing and BAM am I ever hungry right now. About 3:00. I had a little bit of watermelon about 7:00 a.m. and then staved off my morning meal until 11:00 and ate a large serving of chia pudding (yum. I will do that again. The liquid was half almond milk,...

excellent work on your S day. That's a good plan to follow...keeping it close to N day practices, with just one or two small "S" treats. I need to check on Habit Cal for those medals. DOn't think I've seen any for me. Oh well. I'm not in it for HabitCal medals hahahaha! Way to go. And on to another ...

One thing I have thought of lately, is trying to reboot my appetite to a two meal a day thing. ............... If I ate at 10 and 5 ... whooo that's a long time between evening meal and morning meal. Hmmm. I find that when I'm not having to get up and go to work, I feel quite comfortable having a m...

FIRST and greatest non scale benefit: me, not my appetite, being in control. I still get the occasional grumble, but if it isn't mealtime, I ignore it and SECOND: I am not afraid of my stomach anymore. hahahaha. That is to say, I no longer think I have to superload my plate in order to stave off the...

And I am so done with sweets, can't imagine having something sugary anymore than I could eat pork ribs...yuck. My scale still hasn't budged, though I have watched it vaci...

That is a new one on me, because mostly I think about whether it is time for my next meal or not. So, little by little, things a...

Tracking appetite - that's an interesting way to use it - creative. I've read David Kessler's book which opened my eyes to all that food science stuff - it's really immoral I think....... but knowing what's going on does help me resist it. Doug Lisle has a book out called "The Pleasure Trap" which ...

S days were good. What "S's" did I have... Saturday: chocolate Sunday: chocolate, fritos with lunch, and a bite to eat between lunch and dinner I also ate quite late last night. Which might be why I had something at my usual Dinnertime. Figured something out, too. Walnuts are not my friend. My usual...

Usually I have soup "over" something like a baked potato, rice, or couscous. Yesterday I had a bowl of sweet potato stew over some leftover cooked macaroni. It was o...

Thanks for dropping by, Raw :) You know, they make junk foods addictive on purpose. It's true. Salt, fat, and sugar. Processed/packaged non-foods always have these in some combination, and they have formulations to combine the three in perfect balance for the maximum addictive powers. Like crack. Or...

It was a good S weekend. I had something like the munchies all day Friday, thinking about having a boat load of regular potato chips...like, a bagful and eat them until they were all eaten. Because of hormones, I let it rest (also because it was not an S day) but then on Saturday, I did get to the g...

Hi bunsofaluminum! :) I'm with you on eating slowly and chewing every bite thoroughly--it really adds to the enjoyment of meals, but it is so hard for me to do at times!

I did something a little unusual with my Chinese take-out last night. I usually get a combination that includes an entrée, rice, and an egg roll. It's always a lot of food, but because it's in one dish I've counted it as one plate. Last night I was starting to eat my sweet and sour chicken when I r...
