Oh my! Wow! So glad you were able to get it repainted, and I hope you have a lovely springAllisonmeg wrote:(Our house was LITERALLY dark brown including all the ceilings; ugh)
Allisonmeg, You're doing great with your eating, I think! I'm trying to get brave enough to post my foods. Maybe I'll get the courage up soon.Allisonmeg wrote:****DINNER AT LEAST 4 HOURS AFTER LUNCH*****

YAY!Allisonmeg wrote:
Cheers to my first successful feeling S weekend! Had treats but didn't go nuts. I am having a good feeling about this week. The last few have been off, but I think a few issues are resolved.
I agree--keeping S days is important. Start fresh with N days on Monday, and make those boundaries really clear for yourself.

At the same time, eat so that you feel good today.
Instead of counting calories, have you tried simply using smaller plates?Allisonmeg wrote:I have definitely been trying to limit more lately. I haven't lost any weight since restarting NoS in October, so I have been counting calories this month to figure out what my new menopausal number is. And sadly I'm dipping back down to what my old dieting numbers were. So I don't quite have a grasp that I seriously have to eat so much less just to STAY at 150 (when I have been in 20/30s most of my life).
And wow, you're exactly right. I'm sick of salads and would much rather have something less healthy with most likely LESS calories. Thank you, Jen! I get exactly what's happening and I don't even know how I missed it.
As soon as I start counting calories, I start the binge cycle back. It's been this way as long as I can remember. I still don't know how to lose this weight though.
NoS is a huge factor in my sanity and I don't want to really add any mods either. I get a good workout in everyday, so I don't know..is this just the weight I'm just destined to be post-menopause? And now that I've started counting calories, I hate the thought of the loss of control of NOT writing. I'm back to the way I've been for 20+ years, counting every miniscule bite of food and writing it down. I feel like this has been my way of taking control when other factors of my life have been chaotic. But obviously if I'm bingeing, I have no control here either. Wow I definitely see what needs to be done!!
