The key for me is I go in and check them out and if I really, really want one, I allow myself to take the red. But generally they just aren't worth it.

This is so positively down-to-earth, I like that!if I really, really want one, I allow myself to take the red
I think part of my problem the first time (2010-2011) was that I felt restricted and deprived. "Eating Less" has taught me that it has to be a choice ("it" being turning down a cupcake, or deciding to eat vegetables with my meal). So each time I go into that kitchen, I have to know that sure, I can have that cupcake if I want. But I also know that (1) the treats generally don't even taste all great, and even if they do, the sensation of taste lasts just a few seconds, and (2) I will have to accept the consequences of having the treat (including a red on my HabitCal and the extra anti-nutrition calories).Jonas Jonasson wrote:This is so positively down-to-earth, I like that!if I really, really want one, I allow myself to take the red
Hey, I had months of fails (2011-2013 when I re-gained the weight I lost after my first time on No S). It is never too late to turn things around.

I was reading one of your older posts and can relate to the mentality of going from all successes to all fails. I've had a bad few days so will use you as inspiration to mark it and move on
Oh, how mature you areSpiritSong wrote: When I get to the end of the month, I won't be able to still enjoy the taste of the cupcake. All I will have is (perhaps) a disappointing weigh-in number, and red marks on my calendar to tell me why. But if I have permission to have the cupcake and turn it down, I can be proud of myself for making the right choice for my health. If I can't have it because Reinhard said so, I'll just be mad (and won't get any credit for saying no).
That's right. And of course the lesson here is to not have Easter chocolate in the house (and buy a new CD stand that won't cause so much trouble).harmony wrote:Even our FAIL days contain quite a few mini successes if we take the time to acknowledge them.![]()
You have my deepest sympathies coping with that cruel reality!!SpiritSong wrote:Time to start working more veggies onto my lunch and dinner plates. And maybe cut back on the beer.
Right you areI figured having one this morning was not going to interfere with my No S habits. I haven't had a chocolate milk in months. So I bought it and enjoyed it, guilt free.
I'm going to have to dust off my carrot scraper, buy a few more sprouters & get in touch with my inner bunny if I want to do a YEARWOOD.SpiritSong wrote: Saw that Trisha Yearwood lost 30 pounds in four months. Shows what can happen if you eat vegetables, eh, No BS?
Sadly, the first step is finding & buying the damn veggies in the first place!!!SpiritSong wrote: Thinking that maybe my first step in the "actually eat vegetables" plan will be to add a salad to the evening meal.
