I'm on a short out-of-town trip,
and using my laptop, which limits my emoticon acess.
So, my posts are a bit less colorful,
even though the same feelings come with them.

My day's Quote is:

The concept of multitasking is a marketing ploy
to make the fact that youâ€™re too damn busy

Extreme obesity is defined as having a body-mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater.
BMI is a statistical measure of whether a person is normal, overweight or obese
based on whether weight and height are in proportion

For those who don't know:

At my highest weight of 271,
I had a BMI of 53.
My current BMI is 22.5
And....I didn't grow taller....

Becoming the person you want to be

Take a look at your priorities and your goals.
Where did they come from?

Are they the products of soul-searching, self-analysis, and careful planning?
Or are they a reaction to pressures from other people?
Did you find them within yourself or within the pages of a magazine?

The answers to these questions are important
because they tell you if the person you're becoming
is someone you want to be.
Here's another way to look at a goal:

do you want it, or do you just think you should want it?

It's not easy to follow your own direction in life.
But it's more possible than you may think.

Question everything.
Every priority in your life needs to justify why it's there.
If you can't come up with a good reason
that actually comes from YOU, maybe it doesn't belong.

To be nobody but yourself
--in a world which is doing its best, night and day,
to make you everybody elseâ€”

means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight;
and never stop fighting.

...........................EE Cummings, poet

I've been working with my web-designer

He says there are still a few bugs to be worked out,

but it's looking like I'll have control of it soon
I'm excited about it.

My new website, DietHobby.com is now up.
I use my real name there, (Phyllis) so you won't see a reference to
BrightAngel
....but you'll have no trouble knowing that it's me.

My son, the web designer,
is still working on the search/subscription etc features,
but except for those minor points it all seems to be working,

If any of you have any problems logging on or reading anything etc,
could you let me know about it?

I will still be here in No S, but I plan to spend most of the time I'm here
out in the General Discussion Thread,
because I'll need to spend the time I use here in this personal
thead to blog and manage running DietHobby.

I need all of your support, and so I really hope you visit me there
often
and make lots of comments to me.

Together I believe we can help ourselves as well as others,
and one of my goals is to direct additional people to No S.

Thanks TexArk,

I see your comments under "Imaginary Friends", and
I see on a different page, a couple of other people commented,
and I can see those names.

Before I replied to your comments I saw they had no name by the date
(your name is supposed to automatically go there),
and THEN when I replied, MY NAME went on your comments.
So there's definitely some kind of glitch there, and hopefully I can get that fixed today.

So for the next few days, I hope pople will just ignore the rule about no signatures,
and give me their name inside their comment.

As with all technical things, some glitches don't show up prior to use,
so we are still working out some problems with registration and log-in,
which is supposed to be required before making comments. (to avoid spammers etc)

What is supposed to happen, is people can read my site without
registering or logging in,
however, before they can participate by making comments,
they must register...Registering is meant to be easy, and
no data gets saved or published or sold etc.

After people fill out the short registration form, they are supposed

to return to their e-mail and click the link the web-site sends them.
As soon as they do that, they are registered, and from them on
all they have to do is log in.
When someone registers, the site automatically sends an e-mail to me,
telling me that I have a new registration and who it is.

My web-designer (son) absolutely insists on using an e-mail address
instead of a user name to log in,
...and I think that is mainly because so many people forget their user names
and designing the whole system to fix that is an extra hassle for the web-designer,
and the site-owner (who is me).
That e-mail address is totally confidential and no one will ever send
you anything, including me, without special permission.

You can log on or off while you're on the site,
but when you leave you are automatically logged off,
and will need to relog each time you return and want to make a new comment.
I'm not sure of the technical reasons for this, but that's the way
my son says it must be.

So, it will be helpful to me to have my online friends
register/log-in/and make comments
as soon as possible, because that is the way we will discover the "glitches".
Please let me know about any difficulties so I can get them fixed.

My HOME link is where all my blogs reside,
including copies of the
Why We Get Fat chapter summaries.
So the first 22 blogs my the summaries of that book are there.
BUT that is a difficult way to access them.

The easy way is to use that top link entitled BOOKTALK,
which takes you right to links for all of those Chapter summaries in order,
and then it becomes easy to leave comment under each chapter.

After the WWGF chapter summary posts,
I started my regular blogging.
I believe I now have 8 blogs up, and I plan to add to them continually.

So, if you click the link, HOME, and you start reading back,
when you get to the WWGF posts, it is easier to just leave HOME
and click the link for BOOKTALK.

I wanted to make those WWWF Chapter Summaries first, and put them all together,
for easy access, because I'll be highlighting that section for the next 6 months or so.
You've already read that basic summary because I first put
it in the Thread I made here, for the discussion between me and Kathryn,
with the intention of also using it in DietHobby for a wider population.

I plan to post frequently in my ongoing blog, and also add more pictures and videos,
and recipes and links and other information.

At this point, I have no intention of putting up a forum.
That's just too much work, and there are a lot of good forums
already in existence. ..for example...THIS ONE.

Hi BA!

Congrats on the blog

I registered and logged in to post a comment. I then refreshed to see if the comment posted and managed to double post the comment

Sorry!

A few notes on registration:

1. When you register, the site doesn't obscure your password
2. The registration confirmation e-mail went straight to my spam folder. Perhaps not surprising because of all the diet related spam out there, but you might be able to add more information to the email to decrease the likelihood of it being marked as spam.

Good luck, I'm looking forward to following your blog!

I've posted that recipe for mock pancakes on my website at
www.diethobby.com under a header link called RECIPES,
and my son's plan is to film a YouTube video of me cooking them.
It would be my very first video, so we'll see how that goes...???...

BrightAngel wrote:my son's plan is to film a YouTube video of me cooking them.

That is a great idea. I searched for some time trying to find a Youtube video on this recipe type. I made a similar recipe using ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese two weeks ago. I used the large griddle that DH used for the family batches as it was hot and greased. Though the taste was fine with these mock pancakes, the texture would have been better described as crepes.

This past Sunday, after reading more posts about using a small omelet pan, I made your recipe, cooking it as you described and it came out like a nice large pancake.

I am still a bit saddened about the oatmeal pancakes. It was my last real dish using oats in a significant way. But the truth is, I do feel better eating a modest amount of them, 1 tbs or less. It isn't an allergy or intestinal issues per se, just a feeling of hunger sooner, tummy grumbles and so forth. Not bad, just that I can do better now.

Keep those good ideas rolling:-)

Hi Guys,
I did a few posts here, and replied to Kathleen's Chapter 16 & 17 comments,
but now need to go spend time writing something
for my blog at www.diethobby.com.

I hope none of you are offended by my frequent links,
but I so very much want a lot of my no s friends to register
and comment there, and I'm trying to make that easy.

Most of you know that I've been an active forum member here for years,
and although I don't do "vanilla" no s, I'm one of its strong supporters.
No S is one of the diets I plan to say a great deal about,
and I believe that the more No S people who comment there,
giving their own personal position about it,
the more attractive a prospect it will be to people who've never checked that option.

Even people who totally differ with me about dieting
could make comments that will be helpful to direct others to No S,
because there could easily be future lurking readers who disagree with me,
but who agree with you.

One thing about DietHobby is that (once it's totally completed) there will
be a search feature, and linked categories, which will easily direct people
to my No S Bloggs for all the time it's up..and I expect that to be many years.

I plan to write my first special No S article there in a couple of weeks.
I'm waiting for awhile, because I'm hoping to first discover and fix any
registration and comment "glitches", ...with you guys helping me do that.
Also I want to give No S people more time to register before I do it.

Meanwhile I'm writing about things about dieting in general that interest me.
Thanks to those of you who've already registered,
and I hope the rest of you join me soon.

My change today
is to another different Avitar.

My son insisted I to use the one
with the big letters...DIET HOBBY,
and I tried, but I really hated it,

so he is "ALLOWING" me to use this one at forums
as long as I use the other one at Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
which are places that I really don't want to visit anyway.

I'm really tired of being told what to do,
and I'll be glad when my site
is finally finished
so I can do only what to do I want with it.

Thanks Eileen for those VERY kind words.

I've been eating those pancakes for years, and I love them.

Right after you fill out the registration form and click enter,
You're supposed to go to your e-mail and click the link in the message.
I understand that sometimes the diethobby automated message
will be automatically sent to your junk mail, if your filters don't allow it in,
so make sure your e-mail knows that it is okay receive messages from DietHobby.com
Then, after clicking that link you can go back and log in and post comments forever.

HOWEVER,

I told my son-the-web-designer to turn off that confirm process, for right now,
since my online friends are the only ones who know about the site.
So if you've already registered, you should be able to log in
and comment even wthout clicking your e-mail link.

However, even now, it is important to make sure you can get e-mails from me(@diethobby.com)
or you won't get notices of my new blogs or my replies to your comments.
I'm so happy that you're going to be part of my adventure.

KCCC,

I saw your terrific comment on DietHobby,
and I just replied to it.
Thank you so much for giving your No S opinion there.

Also thanks for your well-wishes on my new site.
I am enjoying it a great deal....which is actually the point...
since it is totally a personal recreational project for me.
I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to spend some
of my retirement time with this pleasant task.
AND also help myself (and others) with weight-loss and maintenance.

The support of my No S forum friends has been so emotionally
helpful to me during my "start-up" process.
But certainly, I wouldn't want anyone to visit my site regularly
unless it satisfied some interest or need for them personally.

My son-the-web-designer tells me that about 90% of the people
who visit a site like mine never leave any comments,
and he has been very pleased to see
how helpful my No S friends have been by making start-up comments.
However, even if DietHobby were only a place for me to write my thoughts,
and I only had a very few visitors and no comments at all,
I would find the project worth doing..just for my own personal satisfaction.

Your post makes perfect sense even without paragraph spacing.
I agree with you about the formatting,
because it is my style to write in short lines with frequent paragraph breaks.
However, I've been shown that this is the way Blogs do Comments,
and ....go it goes...Adapt and Accept is my motto there.

Your long and terrific post is very understandable without line-breaks.
But FYI, what I've done at other places...and will be also be doing at DietHobby...
is to use..................................... or ******************* as a way
to separate out quotes or divide thoughts into sections that are sort of a "paragraph like" function.

Yesterday I broke my left forearm,
and when I came home from emergency
my husband took one of these from the freezer
and served it to me with two strawberries.

I hope your arm heals quickly and painlessly. Is it your dominant arm?

So sorry to hear about your break, but glad it is not your dominant arm. I managed to go 63 years without a broken bone and have had a spate of them the last year...all stupid accidents...need bubble wrap I guess. Hope this is your first and last!

thanks, TexArk,
in fact I was thinking of you today and how successful you've been even with your injury.

Thanks oolala for your well wishes.
It's been two weeks now, and my arm will be spending at least 6 weeks in a cast.
I'm right handed (thankfully) and never before realized how important
my left hand is.
Most of my normal activities have been suspended for awhile,
but I keep findings ways to care for and entertain myself.

So, do you eat just three meals a day?

Hi oolala, during the past three years,
I've written a lot about this issue here in my personal thread.
My No S struggle is well documented here.

Long story short,
while Reinhard's Habit concepts are helpful to me,
I have never successfully followed "vanilla no s".

Personally, I track my food and I count calories.

I never eat large meals. I personally dislike that practice,
and I also find large meals physically uncomfortable.
My daily meal number varies, along with the size of the meal,
however, the volume of my meals is always quite small.

Hope you're doing well, and your arm is mending.

I had an arm in a cast years and years ago, and remember noticing just how much I "talk with my hands...even on the phone! It's amazing how the little things you take for granted wear at you when you can't do them.

So, just sending good wishes now as the cast-wearing wears on...

KCCC, thank you very much for your kindness.
I, too, now realize how important it is to have the use of both hands and arms.
Even now I am amazed at the number of simple tasks that I cannot do
with a cast, and I've been told that after it is removed,
I'll need to go to physical therapy for awhile.

Problems developed with the shorter cast I got last week,
and yesterday my doctor replaced it with another one which is expected to be less painful.
I'm very much looking forward to my future use of both hands.

GREAT NEWS !!!
This morning the doctor removed the cast from my arm;
gave me a splint; and started me on physical Therapy.
It still hurts a bit, but I am SOOOO Happy.

oolala53 · Post by **oolala53** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 4:49 pm

That is great news! Glad you've pretty much mended.

Definitely a milestone!

Hope the PT goes well, and has you back in shape fast!

I thought for sure I registered on DietHobby, but it won't let me log in. Should I start over?

oolala53,

I checked the DietHobby registration base
and there is no one there with the user name oolala,
so I'd say register again....AND right after registering,
don't forget to go to your e-mail; open the e-mail from DietHobby, and click the verification link.
I'm told that step is necessary to prove you are a real person.
If you don't get a automatic e-mail from DietHobby, check your junk mail.

Be sure to set your browser to recognize and accept DietHobby's automatic emails,
so you can get notice of new Blogs and responses to your comments.

I look forward to reading your future comments there.

Also there's a Blog with a review of the No S Diet and comments about it.
You can either find it in Archieves, or via a search, and can still add your own comments if you like.

Ultimately....it's in our own hands.
