I'm in!
This challenge definitely helped me stay on track yesterday so I am happy to say:
June 1:
success!!!
June 2:
success
June 3:
failure meant to have two slices of pizza but ate 3.5 instead. Thought about just imagining a very large plate but who am I kidding? Still, it was just that and no sweets or snacks later on, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself, especially in view of my stated goal: to be able to say, like Hunter Gatherer did: "I have mostly gotten past the "No! I failed! Now I must fail the rest of the day too!"

June 12:
S event this evening--daughter's 12th birthday party. Intend to stay green 'til then.
Did well on Friday. Stayed no-S 'til evening as planned. Did not go nuts Friday evening BUT
June 13-14: OMG, GMO as my daughter would say! Yes it was the weekend but I feel like coloring the days
RED. Went way overboard on Saturday with party leftovers, then felt sick most of Sunday morning and didn't eat 'til noon (reasonable amount), left the house, then came back at 4:40, had a snack. Horrible gross dinner, then some more grazing after that. Not quite as bad as Saturday but my stomach was so distended! Have to listen to the S days gone wild podcast again...

success What a relief. Also, scale went down three pounds between yesterday and today, so the weekend did not cause much damage except to my psyche...

June 17-18:
SUCCESS (even though I worked from 7:30 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. yesterday and it's 10:45 p.m. and I'm still at work today!) I was pleased because when I got home, I could have really gone for an ice cream treat to comfort/reward myself for having to work so late. But I didn't.

June 20-21: not-an-idiot S days

SUCCESS
June 24:
slight Failure. Went out to dinner and that was successful. But two hours after finishing, when I got home, I decided to have some watermelon. It was delicious but not part of the meal. On the bright side, that was it!
June 25: daughter's birthday. S event: 1 slice of pizza (and crust from three slices, order of chicken wings, salad with greek cheese, cherries, and two jolly ranchers.
June 26: lunch, had bread pudding, which was my incentive to not be an idiot on my S days last weekend. It was delicious. I will count this as a GREEN day if I go 'til the end of the day with no S. That is, after all, my stated goal for June: not to go crazy after a transgression.
Okay, June 26:
GREEN
But totally excessive S days on June 27 and 28. It's like I could not figure out what I wanted so I ate everything!

June was not a success weight loss wise. Habit wise it was pretty good. Especially because small slips did not turn into slides, even in the same day. For July, I'd like to keep that up but also do better on S days. Also, some of my food choices could be improved.
