Hi Rein and everyone here!
Hope this finds you all well..
I wanted to post this here instead of my daily checkin, because I feel it warrants a little more attention.
I'm very pleased to mention that since I started using the HabitCal, even with two failures last week, and one failure this week, it's been enough help to keep me on track and focused, enough to drop yet another three pounds in two weeks!
This is truly taking away all the "grey and mushiness" of simply *guessing* at whether I did or didn't follow the rules.. At the end of the day I look forward to posting my result to myself and it is indeed bolstering my willpower to keep me strict with the rules.
I'm very very happy about this!
Since recommitting to actively using the rules here, (I won't say recommitting to NoS, because I never really deviated away from it for any other plan, just got kind of inert last year and went a little bit unconscious-in the not-so-good way) I'm down eight pounds since about the middle of May!!!
This is a *perfect* tool for me right now.. I have no desire to track my daily activities on the checkin, unless they are really remarkable, but I did need to get back to being accountable to myself and feel the support of being part of the group, which as we probably all agree, is quite invaluable!
I'm gonna stick with only using it to track NoS for now, as I feel it will have an umbrella effect in, hopefully erradicating my own personal bad habits. It seems it has already done, on my old enemy night time eating. That big bad wolf of a habit started weaseling its way back past the sleeping guards. You and maybe some of the other older members of this group, might remember that this was a doozie for me to cope with from the get go and has always been my personal habit nemesis! But the HabitCal is directly impacting it. Like the part in your NoS home where you address "what about fat?" and the "No Snacks" rule encompasses the worst of those, and deals with it. Well seems HabitCal is keeping the wolf at bay.
Yo Reinhard!!!! I am (*still*) so grateful for having found you and NoS! When I think of the sea of lost travellers on the road of dieting madness, being led by charlatans dispensing with miracle cures and false hope, I realise how truly blessed I was to find your little google ad that day in August 2004!
Wow, am I ever recommitted, and how!!
Thanks for HabitCal Rein, oh benevolent and kind one!
You are a real guru as you are helping us all find our own personal truth on the road of diet "during".
What next???
Mmmm.. maybe I'll get to Personal Mount Olympus at some point, when I see I'm really in the habit groove, but this is fine for now. I'm building momentum up for that too!
Have a great weekend NoS compadres!!
Viva la Revolucion!!!
Peace and Love,
Deb
