I need to get back on track (I have not done a challenge since May!) and I think I'll try one week at a time, so ...
I challenge you to have an absolutely perfect week. No cheating, slips or close-enoughs.
This is for anybody who needs encouragement and daily accountability. Think of this as your own little cheering section.
- Write down what your "perfect" is at the top of your post and then update us as to how you're doing. Accountability helps!
- *Remember* to only post once at the top and edit that first post all week with an update of how you are doing. It's easier to find each other.
- Please re-read that last one, some people don't get it.
- after Monday we will continue posting at the bottom for encouragement and fun.
- This challenge is meant for all of us to give support, so let's try hard to do that.
- anyone can start whenever through out the week. The more ~ the merrier!
- Be sure to tell us all at the end of the week if you did have a perfectly successful week!!!

My goal is to give myself enough time for a proper breakfast. If I don't do that, I get off track for the rest of the day.
August 20: A nice Saturday, regular meals, and three cranberry oatmeal cookies. Okay, it was six by the time I went to bed. So what? I ate heathy home-cooked meals otherwise.
August 21: even thought it was a Sunday, I just ate normally. No snacks, no sweets, no seconds. I just didn't want any of that stuff.
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday

I'm up for this challenge! I haven't given up on NoS, but I kind of feel like I've given up trying to succeed lately... just tracking and noting failures isn't helping, I need to really try and properly stick to it!
Roll on green week!
Monday 22nd:
success
Tuesday 23rd:
success
Wednesday 24th:
success
Thursday 25th:
success
Friday 26th:
failure
Oh well 4 days out of 5 ain't bad

Roll on next week....

Yea, go us! I think that the short-term goal of one week might be easier to achieve. I have high hopes!
The "week" will be the calendar week Sunday through Saturday. 21-27
I'll probably start another week challenge next week.
I eat off an 8 1/2" plate and I don't eat breakfast, so I don't beat myself up when I can't see the rim.

I do occasionally eat off a regular size corelle plate if I have something bulky like corn on the cob or I'm having some food that I have no hope of eating the smaller amount like pizza.

Mmm today is going to be a struggle for me too - partially because Friday's are always a struggle, but also because I'm off work today and I'm semi-celebrating the end of a long slog to submit a bunch of work for my professional qualifications.... do I need to celebrate with food? Nope. Do I WANT to? Yes! I think today is going to be full of me mentally arguing with myself about whether I take an S event/day, fail, or attempt to stick to a green day!
