New - First Day
Hi.
I'm new. I got tired of Weight Watchers, so I went on Amazon and punched in weight loss. Out of the many books I looked at, this seemed new and it made sense.
I've read half the book, but decided to get started today and keep reading. So far, I've had breakfast at 8:00 am. Now I feel a little hungry. A little weird to me. I'm used to eating whenever I'm hungry. This is something new, though, and I'm excited to try it. I have about 15 pounds to lose.
Will post on the daily check-in later.
Thanks!

Week One
Good Luck Michele!
I have just finished week one and I cannot believe how simple and rewarding this is. I too tried WW and it worked until I got bored ot frustrated with it. This is something I can do for the rest of my life.

Welcome!
No-s reverses that -- you'll train yourself to get hungry only when it's time to eat.
In the meantime, you might get a little hungrier than you'd like between meals. That's OK. It's natural and to be expected. It isn't going to kill you. On the contrary -- you'll start enjoy your meals more when you're a little hungry going in: "appetite is the best sauce."

So are most people today -- which is why they're overweight.I'm used to eating whenever I'm hungry.

I am also new today. My husband and I are in this together!! So far, so good. I'm a "grazer" so it was difficult for me to think of no snacks, but it really worked out well. I made sure to space my meals so I wasn't left wanting something more this evening. I've been on many, many different diets and I believe this is the first plan that I can see being on forever. As Reinhard said, we have our "before" pictures and we willl have our "during" pictures!!
my first day is over
well, I made it throught a day w/out soda -- a very big deal for me. I do have a low-grade headache but nothing terrible. I was pretty hungry about a hour or so before my scheduled meals, but I agree that hunger isn't an enemy and could sometimes feel good. So I thought about it, and ate my dinner carefully and slowly to feel the hunger leave. It's kinda interesting.
I'm looking forward to having a Coke on Saturday!
good night all

I feel so sad that my day's eating is over.
This is my first day too.
It is 5:30 p.m. here and I just finished dinner.
Although my body is satisfied,
I feel so sad that I can't eat anymore today.
I'm pretty sure I'll be going to bed really early tonight.
My day usually starts at 4 a.m. and finishes at 8 p.m.
Breakfast is around 7 a.m.,
Lunch around 12 noon, and
Dinner around 5 p.m.
Today, I've greatly missed all my normal snacking,
especially my mid-morning, mid-afternoon snacks,
and now my evening snack,
as I like snacking better than meals.
Hopefully, that preference will change.

i broke down and had a pepsi around 2:30. I had a headache and knew it was from withdrawal. my headache did go away!!!
had 3 squares today, but felt I ate more since I knew that was it. Felt very before lunch.
I hope this gets easier.

Hi and WELCOME!!
I am on week 2 and this has been the easy thing I have ever done.
So freeing. The first few days were a little fough as far as hunger goes.
But now, i only get hungry just before it is time to eat.
Amazing!
And I eat whatever I 'feel' like eating; as long as it does not go against the 3 rules!
I do make some 'healthy' choices, but overall, I eat what I want.

I just finished my 21 days on Monday and I swear this "diet" has already completely transformed my relationship with food and eating, AND THAT has really reduced the overall stress in my life and already is starting to free up a lot of energy to use on other things!
