So glad I found this site! I've literally been looking for years now for something to do weight-wise that I could do for the rest of my life, and this seems like the best option yet.
I started my habit calendar on 16 April 2008, but I think I'll start counting the habits from today only. This has been a crazy past week (weekend away - starting on Friday, friend's birthday, sick yesterday...). No use starting with B numbers in my first post!
I'll check in tomorrow with my results of the first day.

Thanks, Blueskighs!
Unfortunately, my first day was a FAILURE. I was doing well the whole day, until after supper, when I had a chocolate. I eat for emotional reasons, and had a bad meeting earlier the day. But I can say that up to that point, the day was a success - which to me is already a big thing. I would never in my life (since I started dieting) thought that I could go back to just 3 meals.
B: Cornmeal porridge, banana, naartjie
L: Salad (Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado with EVOO), 1 slice wholewheat bread with avocado, 1 cup chicken soup. This was slightly more than one plate, but the salad was mostly lettuce leaves, so to me it is ok.
D: Mashed potato, sausage, peas, baked beans.
And then the chocolate later...
I eat a lot because I'm afraid I'll get hungry later. But I figured maybe it is better to build the habit first, and tweak later.
Day 1B

Luckily there are 26 letters before I run out of letters for my first day
Day 1B was a
failure as well. I did what I decided yesterday, not to do: tweak. So I had just fruit and nuts for breakfast, and by 10:00 there was cake at work (Sunday will be a public holiday here and they celebrated early). So I felt that I had not really had breakfast yet, and you know the rest of the story. Downhill for the rest of the day.
I should stick to my original idea.
We've got quite a week ahead of us. Sunday is public holiday, which means that Monday would also be a public holiday. Tuesday and Wednesday is N-days, but Thursday is another public holiday, and for some reason I can't remember they decided that Friday would also be a public holiday. Yes, a 2-day workweek, wonderful!
