Today's breakfast was an english muffin with pb&j, milk and an apple. Lunch was only a bowl of soup and a tangerine b/c company stopped by so couldn't eat properly. I thought about snacking but figured I'll just do an early dinner. Had watered down juice in between. Dinner was wings, perogies, salad...

Linda, I think your mod sounds great. I am biased though, as I've never been a Vanilla gal ;) I admire your dedication since the beginning. I am under the belief though that S days are very difficult for those of us with any eating issues - be it binging, overeating regularly, diet head etc and ther...

I am going to keep track of my meals here for awhile just to have a record of what I'm doing, to look back on etc. The past few days have been great. I'm not counting successes/failures though - if there is a snack that's creeped in, I just move on and continue at the next meal, not binge and start ...

Sinnie's Post-Pregnancy Check In 2014
A new year, a new baby and a new body! This year my goal is to keep to three meals a day, nothing in between and sweets in small doses as part of meals if desired. I've been doing this the last little while, especially once the baby was born with great success. I looked back to what worked in the pa...

Thank you all for your heartfelt messages! Diligence, I am nursing and you are absolutely right about the need to keep hydrated - I am sooo thirsty when feeding her! If I do end up needing a snack, I'll try to stick with milk or juice, but yes, if I do have food I am accepting it and not binging ove...

Hey Linda, Thanks for the comforting words. The problem is, because I had a back surgery when I was a kid, the rods they placed (and scar tissue) will apparently present a problem when trying to do a spinal. So, the only other option they are giving me is a general anesthetic. I dont even think they...

Means A LOT to hear that, Linda. I am finding it easier to accept, but night time is the worst. I wake up thinking irrationally and cry. Then, I feel better and by morning am normal again. It's a hard pill to swallow. Mainly because I won't be awake for it and hubby will likely not be allowed in eit...

Oh thank you all so much for the well-wishes! You are all so wonderful. Well, the ultrasound did not go well. That little baby was in a frank breech position, what I imagine she's been in for quite some time. I see my OB on Thursday but am pretty sure I need to prepare myself for the likelihood of a...

A lesson I've learned that I'm actually applying today: I cannot snack at all without it turning into a binge, especially at night. Therefore, that first bite MUST be avoided at all c...

I got quite hungry last night before bed so I allowed myself a 4th meal. It was too big though and left me with heartburn until well into the morning. I think I would have been better off with a glass of milk and waiting until breakfast, and just making it bigger. Oh well, lesson learned. B: piece o...

Feeling like posting meals today, to really try and focus on NO PICKING/SNACKING/BINGING! By the way, my plan is to go back to what worked for me before. It's very much like 3-0-7 girl's no S day plan with small sweets everyday. If I obsess about this or that being too sweet for an N day, I fail. Re...

Thanks Linda, great advice. I did better today! Lack of appetite though, kind of like the first trimester where I just did not feel like eating. Once I start, I seem to be okay, but hunger signals are non-existant. I read it could be the baby taking up too much room and my stomach being squished. Wh...
