Thanks, Sinnie. I'm glad to report I've stayed green the past week. Enjoyed my S days, but am also glad to be N again. Can't say super exactly what I ate at the convention where I was Thursday through Sunday, but it wasn't that good (except for Sunday), maybe because I'm a vegetarian and there weren...

And thus it was. Breakfast was a buttered bread roll with a cup of yogurt with strawberry puree and a cup of milk. I had a piece of cake with another cup of milk as a kind of dessert. I really would have liked to just keep eating -- another bread roll, two more pieces of cake, some of the candy I'd ...

Good reasoning, Sinnie; that really makes sense. To me, an NWS day shouldn't be like a regular one where I just eat whatever (candy, mostly), but should be for the special occasion only (like if I'm going to a party in the evening and taking a NWS day for that, I won't start the day with a Snickers)...

Scratch that. I just had three-quarters of a cookie box (150 g, or 5.3 oz). I feel like a total failure, which is kind of ironic, because I did this because I already felt like one. Now I feel even more useless. Great.

A Good Warning Label in A French Advertisement

I just watched a French commercial because I wanted to read an article on a French website. It was an advertisement (sp?) for Twix. Nothing unusual.
