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.

Well day 2 so far so good..
today was a real test for the will power, I work in a nursing home and today we had a tea for the residents and our ladies auxiliary brought in Buns and danties for everyone.. the kitchen smelled amazing!!!!! but with the help of a co-worker who inspired me to do the No s we didn't give in to the temptation of the homemade danties and buns.
I did have a voldka cooler with some friends tonight..so thats not tooo bad.
late breakfast/lunch-2 piece toast one with pb and J other pb and bananna. cup of yogurt with sliced banannas and a pear
supper-Asian salad,mixed veggies, sweet potatoe fries and 1 piece breaded fish with tar tar sauce.
