Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

I have gotten though another fairly successful day. Although Dinner was more like breakfast. I worked a 10 hour shift , I had my regular toast and cheeze whiz with a glass of soya milk. Then for lunch I had hot turkey sandwich with ff.. worked most of that off during the after noon.. By the time I got home I was to tired to think about eating so I turned on my computer and read the daily check-in... then before I knew it, it was 10pm. so I just had a bowl of rice krispies with soya milk for my late dinner. Now its off to bed and looking forward to breakfast in the morning. Sweet dreams everyone.
