I'm not sure if I'm back but I'm pretty discouraged with both other diets I've been on (well, been on is a big term because I pay for it but don't follow it enough to see results -- Noom for the psychology part and WW for tracking -- and I hate tracking). Good luck! I'll check in once in a while...

All of the above. Top 3: 1. I won't feel self-conscious about myself and I won't stop myself from doing things that I want to do only because I feel self-conscious. 2. Health/Energy: I'll have more energy (instead of getting up in the morning wondering how I'll make it through the day). 3. I'll go s...

Hello NoSnacker: You really seem to have a good grip on the 3 meals a day and exercise -- it must be totally liberating. When I re-started No S three weeks ago (for probably the 5th time in the last few years!), it started well and I was motivated, but when I had a meal I was still calculating weigh...

Wednesday Total disaster -- I'm too embarrassed to even talk about it. :oops: :oops: Some people at work have been or are on protein diets. The results are quick which encourages them to continue. Sometimes I think about it (very briefly though), but I know for me it wouldn't work because I couldn'...

Binging is not the answer for us, it truly adds no value to our lives,,temporary fixes things..but things are still there..just like an alcoholic drinks to not think of the life they have and it doesn't change things. Thanks so much for the encouragement. You're right, binging is not the answer, an...

I've fallen off the wagon and having a really hard time getting back on. I try to think of how good it felt to feel I had some control on what and when I ate (during first and a half week), but somehow it's not enough to get back on track. I know exercise would also really help to get motivated but ...

I wish I was able to come and read/post on a daily basis because I find it does help. But, sometimes at the end of the day I'm so tired (or one of the kids is on the computer) -- or in the morning I'm running around getting ready for work -- that I don't make it to the computer. I do jot down notes ...

I can't say it enough how the people on this discussion board are so incredible and encouraging. Thanks guys! Wednesday Morning: :) didn't have seconds but my choice wasn't very good -- I really felt like having a muffin instead of the yoghurt and granola cereal I've been having recently, and I gave...

Week-end Well, the week-end wasn't totally out of control. I had some chocolate on Saturday (the rest of my family ate theirs on Friday night, but I kept mine for Saturday -- it felt good to say, I'll keep mine for tomorrow. I also had a small piece of dessert during a family lunch on Sunday. I sti...

So, what do you think...? Sometimes I think we try to comply with everyone else..and put too much stress and end up failing because we are doing what everyone else is doing..do what works for you and you will succeed..free yourself up to have that cereal at night..I know I would if it was going to ...

Friday Besides the evening snack that I'm having trouble getting rid off, the day wasn't too bad. I even kicked myself earlier out of bed to go for a walk before work. :) Next week I will try to apply some of the advice I've been getting for the evening snack (i.e. go to bed earlier, have a glass o...

Wednesday Did o.k. during the day :) but messed up again in the evening :oops: . I go to bed around 11:00 so it feels like a long way between supper and bedtime. I had a bowl of cereal around 10:00. I should try to have a glass of milk instead, sometimes I don't know if it's actual hunger or just h...

Hi Mimi, When you mentioned the Beck Diet Solution book, it rang a bell but I wasn't sure where I had heard it. Yesterday I went through a box where I have the many diet books I've bought over the years (when I had put them in the box I was ready to throw them all out -- I was so frustrated from all...

Tuesday My first green day :) . Bkfst and lunch were very reasonable -- had a fruit in the afternoon -- for supper I ate a little too much (I love pasta), and I was really hungry, but overall a good day foodwise. One of my goals is to go for a walk most days (or treadmill when weather isn't nice). ...

Week-end Not as good as I had hoped -- I was hoping to do No-S since I did really badly last Thursday and Friday but that didn't work out. Monday My 3 meals were very reasonable :) . I was really hungry in the afternoon and had a fruit. I don't think my lunch was enough to bring me to supper but I ...

Going to try the 21 day challenge. Will allow myself a fruit in the afternoon (I know I won't abuse fruits because I'm not a big fan of them and it might help not to eat something high calorie). April 2: :oops: So close -- did really well all day but at 9:30 ended up having a small bowl of cereal. 3...

Quantity matters on those three plates a day. That said, so does quality. I am careful to choose good food, and make tasty dishes from my favorite recipes and cookbooks. I agree with you Mimi, quantity and quality matters. I've been trying to control that by counting weight watchers points (with no...
