Rebuilding Habits
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2014 3:42 pm
Days on Habit: 0
So I'm back on No S again. I was on a great groove from September until Thanksgiving, and then I blew up for the month of December. I've done better in January but I'm still snacking and having a lot of disordered eating. The worst of it is that it is pure temptation. Case in point, a vendor catered lunch at work yesterday - Panera. There were leftover sandwiches and cookies and even though I wasn't hungry, how do you say no to free food?
The other thing is that I pulled my hamstring and had to stop exercising. Like many people, good habits seem to go hand in hand. So now that I can exercise again, I'm back to running, lifting weights, and playing squash. I need to get my diet back on track to.
I'm doing vanilla No S Diet except for one mod. I do 24 hour fasts zero to two times per week, like Eat Stop Eat. I find the "F days" very easy. I sometimes get hungry at around 10:30 but mostly fasting makes me realize how much eating is about something to do rather than a need to fill your belly.
Here are my No S Diet clarifications
* Diet soda is an S food
* Coffee or tea with sugar is an S food
* I do allow myself an afternoon coffee with cream only, as well as unlimited unsweetened tea since it is non-caloric.
Weight: 166, give or take a couple pounds.
