S-DIET STARTS TOMORROW!

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.

S-DIET STARTS TOMORROW!

Post by Funky2funky » Sun Apr 04, 2010 7:20 pm

Ive just found this S Diet and from tomorrow im going to give it ago!

Its reassuring to know that if i can get through 3 weeks, it should be ok after that.

So in the past i have had eating problems, bullemia followed by binge eating, ive had therapy but im still finding it hard to have self control. Ive lately noticed if i dont snack its much easier to keep control but feel i deprieve myself and so therefore sometimes it all falls apart which makes me so angry, unmotivated and feel disgusting to be honest!

I weight between 58-60KG which i know isnt a lot, but this is the heaviest i have ever been in my life and i am much for comfortable in my body around 8.5 stones.. so this is my GOAL!

I think i need to get my butt into gear and get some self control. I would really appriaciate your support and help in getting through the next few weeks!

So here to tomorrow.. See you all them!!

Dear Funky2Funky,

I am glad to see another new person, just starting. This is my fourth day. I am excited about this, and also relieved to know it gets easier after the third week.

I too have struggled with hunger and deprivation, and that is why I am happy to find a plan that allows me freedom from that discomfort, but within enough structure that hopefully I will not have binge days, which is what seems to follow when I over-restrict myself.

I am excited to see how this goes for you and look forward to tomorrow's post.

DAY THREE

Post by Funky2funky » Thu Apr 08, 2010 8:09 pm

So today was different to usual. I had to go to college instead of work, i find college so boring and there are plates of biscuts served with tea every bloody two hours!! I also had to go to my second job tonight so dinner would not be happening till at least 8pm +

GYM - Rowing 15, Up hill walking 15, Bike 15

Breakfast - Porridge with half apple and cinamon
Lunch - 3 x rice cakes with 85g reduced fat pate, half a carrot and small container of grapes
Dinner - Ham steak (100kcals), 180g oven baked chips, 2 x free range organic eggs and mushrooms fried in fry-u-light.

I treated myself after diner to a alpro soya yoghurt pot (125g)

Around 4.00pm i had a soya milkshake to keep my energy up for my next stint at work and because i had lunch so much earlier than usual, 12.30 instead of 1.30. This was a drink though, not a snack.

Overall a successful day!
