Hi jellybean, How long were your long runs? I suspect you may be a faster runner than I am? I am sometimes out for 5 hours..... Hi Oolala, I think I may have changed one obsession for another, but I am not giving up running anytime soon ;) I love running, it is my me time, and I love getting out alo...

Portion size is interesting. We all know they have gone up over the years and the research is clear....the more we put in front of us, the more we eat. Yet as a new no s-er I struggle at the moment to find the right amount to see me through to the next meal, but not fill me to bloating point. The .....

I think I agree, although it am a new member. I understand the idea of s days is to be able to go out with ones partner and indulge in a piece of slice for morning tea at the weekend. OR have some desert. OR have seconds of pizza. But maybe not all of those things at once.... Moderation doesn't seem...

An acceptable 'mod' for runners?
I am in training for my first marathon. I am a very slow runner, which means my long runs can take a very long time to complete (up to 5 hours) Due to life constraints it is often easier for me to do my long runs on a weekday.....which is not an S day. So I need a mod for training. I have decided an...

Hi must lose weight. I am thinking of you. My own hubby is on a years sabbatical from teaching to avoid the breakdown. Financially it tough, but worth it. Baby steps. Make one achievable goal a day (like get showered and dressed) and make it a habit. We set a getting up time for hubby, and then brou...

It is surprisingly hard for a teacher to suggest to another child they take an interest in yours and it can backfire. I have an isolated child and an easy going one. Easy going has often been asked to adopt another child at break and has grown to hate it. Her own friends then often won't play with h...

Back again with gritted teeth....
Here I am again. I decided I would at least mark the days. I managed to nos for precisely 2 days in March, the 17th and the 30th. And again yesterday. What marking all those red days has done is made me much more aware of what I eat. I justify it to myself that it is all healthy. And it is! I don't ...

Reporting failure and query...intermittent fasting
Today I had to fast for a medical procedure. By the time the docs let me go it was lunchtime. All was good, I had soup and a roll, plus an extra avocado and salad sandwich as I was really hungry. About an hour later I lost it. 8 pieces of chocolate later I managed to see what was happening and switc...

This week has been fine so far apart from the 'great cookie incident!' But that was just the one occasional and did not lead to an evening of snacking so that was a success in itself. Once or twice I have been very hungry indeed, once to the point of getting a nauseous headache, but I am learning to...

No, not 2 restrictions at once, I was a (fat) vegan anyway. I have not met many raw food people. I think I would hate it. I love hot food. Hot yummy comfort food!

I read here it takes about 12 attempts to form a habit. So that's 1 down, 11 to go. Yep I fell off the wagon.

Yes! I stopped snacking cold turkey on June 29 of last year, last time I checked I had lost 20 pounds, about a pound a week. I will probably lose another 20-30 over time.
