Daily Check In for Oregonshell

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.

Daily Check In for Oregonshell

Post by oregonshell » Tue Jun 10, 2008 6:28 am

(N) DAY 1--I successfully completed this plan.

B-- cereal, rice milk, reg milk, protein powder, blueberry juice, toast w/cheese.

L-- lean cuisine, Amy's tamale dinner, spinach, shredded cheese, blueberry juice, 5 saltines, 5 tortilla chips.

D-- cheese sandwich, apple, flavored cream cheese, 1/2 bagel, V8, BBQ potato chips.

What Helped Me:
1-Every time I felt a food craving between meals, I would switch to doing a new (non-food) activity.
2-I didnt eat in front of the TV.
3-I drank mineral water.
4-I read things on the No S Diet site and listened to the podcast on the importance of not snacking which made a lot of sense to me.
5-I didnt weigh in at all... that's not the emphasis at this time.

oregonshell,

WELCOME! sounds like you had a great day. The tip you used above #1, is one that has worked really well for me too! and sometimes it is not a new activity it is just ANY non-food activity :D
