Everyday Systems

I am starting this diet tomorrow. I understand and agree with most of what I read in the book. I have to do something because I am gaining about 5 pounds every year. I am at 180 and I am only 5'1. I haven't weighed this much since I was pregnant! I sometimes have thoughts that I will be fat forever, but I have to stop that thinking.

I have been reading the check-ins here and I feel really motivated.

Welcome! Nos is amazing. Just remember it's a slow process for most. Focus on habits and getting chaotic eating under control first. The rest will follow.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes tomorrow!

All the best Joyday.. You are in the right place, I'm a (returning) newly committed no S'er and am really focusing on habits first like Ipearlmom says which is really important, as this is for life.
Welcome and good luck.

Hi, lpearlmom and cedar!

Today did go well!

I took a look at the HabitCal. I really like it. I marked my green box for today.

2nd day

Today was not good at all. I had to put a red box on my HabitCal.

3rd day

Green!

4th day

Today was an S day for me. I have decided to use Friday and Saturday as my S days. Friday and Saturday are my relax days.

Great! My brain doesn't let me change my S days - I have to do S-aturday and S-unday whether I'm working or resting! Do let us know how your first S days go. I love HabitCal too.

My first official S days were nice! On Friday, I just sort of snacked in the afternoon and evening. Today, I did the same. I nibbled on trail mix all afternoon. I did still eat very small meals in between.

I am sure I did not do anything to encourage weight loss, but I did have fun.

I got side tracked last week, but I am back on the path now.

I need to be more consistent about my check-in. I also really want to make it into the 21-Day Club. I haven't done that yet.


Tomorrow is an No S day. I take my S days on Fri. and Sat. I don't have any treats planned for today. Yesterday I was craving corn chips. I bought a little bag. I haven't had those in years.

Enjoy!

I've personally found daily checking-in enjoyable and helpful.

Welcome, Joyday.
Good luck to us all.

21 Day Club....here I come

Sun 5/15 GREEN
Mon 5/16 GREEN

Off to a good start.

I'm also aiming at a 21-day streak.
I'm somewhere around 12 days so far.

And you are checking in, Joyday...

Good luck to us all.

Thanks for the encouragement jackn. I do think checking in helps. It will be my goal to stop by daily.

I didn't make it yesterday. The journey starts again.

21 Days...here I come again.

Most successful changes take several shots.
All's well.

And, to me, it's as much about the journey as about the destination.
Don't know how it strikes you JoyDay, but I do mean it, not just a pious thing to say.

Well, jackn, I suppose it is about the journey and what I can learn from each failure. It is just hard to keep going when one keeps failing.

But you are right.

Hang in tight, Joyday.

I've binged so many times, and for so long, it hurts to think of it.
And bingeing hurts, body and soul.

Let's keep it up.
Good luck to us all.

Alright...here I go

(Day 1) Thursday 5/19 GREEN


I am determined to make it 21-Days. I will just keep trying until I hit it!

OK, Joyday.

To me, being consistent is also about letting go and smiling.

Good luck to us all.
