Everyday Systems

Alright, so I'm starting a 40 day challenge to (hopefully) find a little freedom from food during the season of Lent. I'm going to borrow the X system I saw in another post.

Oh, boy! I'm delighted to see that the DailyX chart rings your bells, Carolyn.

And what a great idea for Lent.

Wednesday (day 1) XXX

Last week was CRAZY. We moved to a new house on very short notice, so my whole week was packing and driving. Some days I did well with food, and other days, not so much. I'm starting the challenge over again today.

Glad you're back here.

Day 1 (2/16) XXX

Moving is the pits! Glad to see you're back on track--yay!!

Day 2 (2/17)

I had a snack this afternoon for no particular reason. I didn't need it...I just mindlessly popped one of my daughter's orange slices in my mouth and then proceeded to eat two clementines, so only two green Xs for me. It is a relief to feel detached from a "mistake" like an extra snack. A few weeks ago, a snack would have led to another snack and then another (probably sweets).

Long live thwarting WTH!

I keep forgetting to check in...

I'm doing okay I guess. Most days have been 2/3 Xs. Last Friday was a total failure. I'm waiting for the time when it stops feeling so hard. I'm considering dropping S days for the rest of the challenge because it Mon-Weds I'm just white-knuckling it.

Sounds like you're doing well. Some people ramp up by doing just one No-S until they're rock solid with that, then they add the second No-S to the mix.

You may be doing something like that without doing it on purpose.

Queenie,
Yes, it does seem to be that way. I keep forgetting one of the S's.

Yesterday was good though.
