Erada's Daily Check In

Erada · Post by **Erada** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:31 pm

Hi!

This will be my nosdiet daily progress check in. My goal is to stick with it with no failures for these three weeks before new years. I think it'll be fitting to start 2012 having already gained a good habit.

I've gained weight after I graduated and started working because I stopped eating healthily and exercising and started sitting on my butt and eating junk all the time. I am not overweight and my bmi is in the healthy range, and yet I feel bloated and like crap plus the water retention and acne issues I never had before.

I will admit that I am counting calories. Mr. Reinhard says the nosdiet is compatible with other methods and so I don't think it's a problem. I prepare my food for the week to come on Saturdays and that's when I count calories once and for all for the week to come, so I'm not bored with counting calories everyday.

No sweets and no snacks are my focus, no seconds is not a problem for me.

I started today and it was a SUCCESS!

Hey, snapdragon, thanks!

Today at work I was given a small peice of pastry. Though I wasn't hungry I still felt like I wanted to eat it, and normally I would've, but the "predisapproved" concept really saved me and so I just passed it over

Today was a SUCCESS!

Today I was able to fend off deliciously smelling manakish when offered at work. I'm normally seldom offered anything so I'm not sure why the ispiration to share has started as I started the nosdiet

No matter, I don't plan on failing, and the daily check in is a tremendous help for me

Today was a SUCCESS!

Erada...welcome!

Passing up those treats is a great start! Everytime we walk away from food we don't need, we're succeeding!

Good for you!

I am feeling slightly down today. Nevertheless, SUCCESS!

I just need to learn not to dwell on stuff I cannot control

Erada...You did it. You conquered your day despite your emotions. Those days are the hardest! I had one of those yesterday. I ate fine, but all I wanted to do was sit down with a bowl of ice cream & eat it all. This morning I feel encouraged & ready to make the rest of the week a lovely shade of green. Emotional eating is so hard to beat. Congrats on winning the battle yesterday!

Hey Jaine, thanks! I think having to post my results here is helping, as well as the extremist moderate and "pre-disapproved" points of view. Something else that is helping me is the thought that time will pass anyway whether I'm happy or sad, so why not do my best? I don't know if it's very clear what I'm trying to say here

Building new habits is difficult, that's for sure. But I am determined to pass these weeks till the end of december 2011 with no failures.

Today was a SUCCESS!

Erada,

You ARE making sense! This is s great place to write your thoughts & figure out which ones are tripping you up and which ones are positive, helpful ones.

You're doing great....you really are.

Have a great day...

SUCCESS!

I feel very lonely and I want to satisfy this emotion by binging. But I won't.

Loneliness can be a strong emotion. Hang in there. Don't give your emotions power. You control them, they don't control you!

Joy and Who Me? Thanks you two!

Today was a SUCCESS!

Though I am doing so well with my noesdiet, I am not doing so well with the other things I've planned for myself. Just need to get myself together and stop being so afraid of failure!

Today is not an S-day, and I went overboard. Sugar makes me sad, and now I'm really feeling it!

Next exempt day I will not and never go overboard.

The days I missed posting were a SUCCESS!

Today will be one as well

I failed thursday, so my winning streak came to an end, sadly. I've overdone it in the exempt days as well, but they are exempt for a reason, so I am not really sweating it.

Today was a non s day.
