Re: Alene's Check-in
Yesterday didn't go as I had planned. I should give some back story as I begin my journal. I have struggled with binge eating for many years, really as long as I can remember going back to my very early years. I've been fighting it and trying different eating plans all my life. I reached my goal wei...

Re: Alene's Check-in
Automatedeating, thanks for coming by my journal. I've read some of your journal and you are one that has inspired me with your consistency! Thank you for the compliment. The nurse my mom had when she gave birth to me was named Alene. :) Yes, food and eating are really interesting subjects, when you...

Alene's Check-in
Good morning! I've been reading journals this morning and have been inspired by those who have been able to stay the course and be consistent with No-s for so long. I think that many of us struggle with hopping around from plan to plan, looking for the "perfect" one. Simple is good. Simple is sustai...

Back to work today! I didn't get much done yesterday. I had big plans to get caught up on my school work, but I am really lacking motivation in that area. I've been spending too much time on screens, and enjoying that connection to others on this journey. But I need to focus on life and getting my s...

Linda, my mom's nurse when she delivered me was Alene, and she decided she wanted me to have it too! :) I'm sorry the weekend felt a bit off and didn't feel great for you. It sounds like you learned some things that will help you going forward. I bet that after a day on your usual fasting schedule, ...

Worth It, it sounds like you and I both eat a similar way. My body is really sensitive to too many carbs as well, and it affects my hunger the next day. I'm experimenting with the right amount of carbs at each meal to give me energy and make me feel good, and also keep me full. I'm thinking I might ...

Soprano, I like your mod. I'm in complete agreement with it, and will do the same if needed. But as you said, so much of it is about taking the pressure off, and giving that permission so you don't feel boxed in by rules that sometimes just don't fit. Linda, it's hard sometimes to let of of the "rul...

I had a much more settled day yesterday. I continue to think about what is going to work best for me, and what my sweet spot is going to be for my eating routine. I may add an optional mini meal after dinner and before bed. I'd prefer to just do the two meals, but I also want to honor my body's sign...

I know it's tough when our kids are moving into their teen years. I had a really tough time too. I felt so sad at times, wondering where my sweet boy went. :( But they do come out of it, and my adult children are wonderful. Trust that you are teaching them well how to be good people, and try to pick...

I'm drinking a big mug of yummy coffee this morning, and it's hitting the spot. My daughter gave me a mug one Christmas that is jumbo-sized, and says, "Mama needs her coffee." So cute. :) Yesterday was a difficult day, but I've worked through it and feel better. All was going smoothly and then we ha...

Imogen, I did mostly Leslie for a long time, and I agree that I love that she incorporates walkers of all shapes and sizes. Once I found Jessica I started to do mostly her workouts. But I have a huge collection of workouts from a variety of instructors I've collected over the years. It's never too l...

I told her I'm saving my sweets for the weekend and tucked it in my purse. I guess I just have to get used to people being a bit disappointed if I'm not eating sweets during the week at work. This is going to sound so stuck-up of me, but I have come to totally enjoy telling people that. They always...

Day 2 went overall well, but I was still feeling fairly hungry after my plate of food at dinner and I had a second helping, which made me overly full. Red day officially, but I'm happy I stuck with the no sweets or snacks! My co-worker offered me some chocolate she brought me from Costa Rica, and I ...

I'm sorry about the parenting challenges! It can be so hard sometimes. My daughter is in her twenties and struggles with anxiety, and it's really hard feeling helpless to help her. I hope you can find some strategies to help soon. I'm enjoying reading your journal and I will have to look into the No...

Hello, and thanks for coming by my journal! It's really stressful to leave your little one at first. Thankfully, kids are so resilient, and I bet in short order she'll be loving the time time to play with other kids. Hang in there! I've just let go of calorie counting too, and it is very freeing, th...

But, I'm back and ready to give it another go, and do it with some determination and the long view of things. Letting go of perfection and just doing the best I can each day. I've been doing some intermittent...

Dalia and Tombo, thank you for coming by to cheer me on. :D My first day went really well. I had some hunger between lunch and dinner but it was very doable. Before bed the same but again, it wasn't bad at all. Knowing that snacking wasn't an option was actually really freeing. I just did my thing a...

Alene's No-S Adventure
I've read about No-S several times through the years but after considering it I would always decide that I like snacks and sweets too much to commit! But as I have gotten older and tried it all, I want to give this a real try. I want more peace and freedom with food. If I can find a way to get to a ...

Alene1's Daily Check-in
I've decided to do a check-in here for accountability, and to see my No S journey in writing. I started on Sunday, and so far, so good. I've been eating every 2-3 hours for a long time, so the stretch between lunch and dinner is the hardest for me. My workout goals are 5 per week. I'm tracking my ea...

Hello, I've been lurking around the board for a few days, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm really impressed with how supportive everyone is, and all the intelligent and sane discussion. I have been a lifelong yoyo dieter, trying every plan that came down the pike. Several years ago I finally deci...
