My May plan is N days mon-fri but allowing one, portion controlled S on Wed evening to carry me through the week. And no more than 3 red days to consider May a success.
I'd also like to weigh in once a month to help with accountability but I'll need to buy a scale before I can start that.
I have about 80lbs to lose.

May 1 Ugh my first red day for the month
May 2 S day
May 3 S day
Plan on getting a scale next time I'm out shopping to do a monthly weigh in. It will help keep me honest I think.
Oh man, I've been on that runaway train so many times ... I don't quite know how to explain how I reel myself in after these kinds on incidents. It has something to do with going deep inside and telling myself that I will follow my plan no matter what happens.butterfly1000 wrote:by Saturday afternoon I started getting off track, and it ended up feeling like a runaway train for the rest of the week-end ... I'm kind of feeling discouraged
I didn't have much of a plan for the week-end. On Friday I was hoping that the week-end would be more of a Non-S day, then I adjusted it to 2 deviations, and then it was free-for-all. I agree with you that we need a plan for the week-end -- I was actually glad that it was Monday today, so that I didn't have to decide what was allowed or not. I'll try to plan next week-end a little better.winnie96 wrote:[That said, you gotta have a Plan to be committed to a Plan. Did you have a plan for the weekend? In the beginning of my No-S-ing, I thought weekends were sort of a free fall zone, where I didn't have to pay any attention whatsoever. Lately, I've come to the conclusion that although S-Days are kind of "days off", it still helps to put some kind of plan/fence around how "off" you really want them to be.
I'm all too familiar with emotional eating. I was having a good week last week (the first really good one since I started in March), and then on Friday night I had a dessert at supper, but it was an S (special) supper so it was o.k., then later in the evening I had more dessert (no excuses for that one) -- over the week-end I was feeling so overwhelmed with everything I needed to get done on top of the special events because of mother's day (I'm not complaining about mother's day, it's just that my week-ends are already quite filled up, and this is over and above everything else). So my self-control went out the window, and I ate and ate and ate .... (sorry for all the complainingmarcdesbiens wrote: I guess I was disturbed and it lead to the 'emotional eating' after the incident ... anyway my day was ruined due to the EMOTIONAL EATING.
Thanks Renée, for the encouragement. You're right! I'm in a major rut.~reneew wrote:Butterfly! ... Jump quick, you're in a rut!!! You did at least 7 non-red days in a row... you can do it again! End your little streak of red today! If you need a goal, go for the 21 day club!
