*Warning* conspiracy theory below :roll: Funny this topic came up just now. I was just recently talking to my sister about my conspiracy theory regarding obesity and the ailments that go along with it. The truth is: if ever American, right now, today, started eating only what they believed to be the...

Hi r.jean, Yes, I think you're right. I think I'm ready to give up the tracking and just do what I know I need to do. I'm a bit nervous about it though. It's been a part of my life for quite a while now. Truth be told, I'm a bit saddened because I really thought that the day would come when (for day...

I guess you didn't have a lot of fails between last September and now. Awesome! I didn't even see this pop up on the board . . . I guess I wasn't checking every day!! Or at all. Anyway, I'm in a bit of a weird spot as I can't decide how I want to handle this phase of the journey. As I mentioned pre...

However, I am very impatient. :? Aren't we all? Perhaps it will help to realize that 3 weeks will pass regardless of whether or not you've stuck to your plan . . . If you do stick to it, you'll learn a lot about yourself. If you don't, you'll be exactly in the same position that you were on June 1s...

Hi, I think your #3 is probably the best course of action. It won't harm you to experience an hour or two of hunger and it will start to teach your body not to expect food quite so often. If you are someplace that you can get a drink, that might help. I sometimes have a glass of milk if I'm in a sit...

I think I do want to check my meals for nutrition. Not too long ago (a couple, maybe three months) It popped into my head that maybe my wanting to snack was related to not having adequate nutrition. My thinking was,"If my body/brain expects nutrition at a meal but doesn't get it because I'm stuffin...

Hello and welcome. I think you'll be pleased with your decision to join our little band of merry wo/men. :) You'll be eating with the family from day one. I was just commenting to my daughter yesterday that I am happy we retained the " eating together as a family unit" habit. It really is a pleasant...

Thanks for the welcome everybody. It does feel good to be back. Larkspur, yes it probably is good that I had started addressing the possibility of diabetes long ago (I have a family history of it so it wasn't really that big of a shock.) I'm also very happy to feel like I know where to start. - no s...

HI, I'm back :)
So, somewhat ashamedly, I have to admit that I haven't been doing well on my plan. More or less a year ago, I dutifully went traipsing off to the doctor for a check-up which included blood-work. Blood-work came back for the second time a bit elevated into the "pre-diabetic" range. Her come the embar...

So, I'm back . . . Spring and Summer were great and I made huge advances in all aspects of my life. But, as is always the way with me, I still have lots of"cleaning up the details" too do. I'm going to try Reinhardt's idea of "negative quantification" a try. That means I'll only be posting when I fa...

Hi Nell12, Congratulations on you success!! Just keep on doing what you are doing. Most of us have days, weeks, or even months of ups and downs. The longer you can keep at it the easier it is to weather the challenges later. Eventually, I think you'll find that what and how much you eat gradually ch...
