Everyday Systems

I'm so glad you found a good budget app! As for teenagers: I think every mother would like to skip that age if it were possible ha! I'm a high school teacher and I always tell the parents: I am positive they're better to adults at school compared to how they are to you. Haha! I hear they can be pre...

Keep up the good work! Also, just an aside - but two salads for lunch and dinner doesn't sound very substantial. If you're happy with that, great, but don't let it be the rule if you don't want it to be. For me I need something solid and good in my stomach, but YMMV. :) I thought that too, but my s...

I eat similar to you... kinda lower carb

So I started Tuesday officially. My background: I'm 36 years old, I'm 5'4'', currently around 141 lbs. I've been 103.5 lbs when I ran 6 miles/day and ate very little. That wasn't healthy. Over the last decade I've been between 120-145. Previously I've always done well on low-carb diets, but since m...

Just to chime in, I also deal with over eating. It's been about a week on No S, and I haven't binged. Normally I would diet strictly, then get sick of the rules, break them, then lick my wounds by over eating ALL weekend. I could gain 10 lbs in water weight/ food bloat over 2 days. Showing up at wo...

Day 2 - SUCCESS .... really wanted to eat some macadamia nuts... then realized those didn't fit into what I was eating at my meals and skipped them. They're usually my downfall. Anyway, ate breakfast (2 eggs, cheese, a zucchini, onion, sausage scramble) about 8 and was hungry at 11. Had lunch (salad...

Hi tacodiscos, and welcome! I noticed you mentioned elsewhere that you were in OA. I was following the OA "GreySheet" for some months before NoS. It just wasn't sustainable for me. I'm much happier on NoS. I don't even remember a sheet but I tried 3 meals with no snacks and it worked.... so I know ...

When not following a NO S lifestyle type of eating I AM A HORRIBLE BINGE EATER :shock: :shock: :shock: Something about being able to have whatever I want 3 times a day does it for me. Last night for example 2 hours after dinner I dedicded I really wanted a package of Nature Valley Granola bars, wan...

Today I stuck to my three meals: no snacks, sweets, or seconds When I finished work at 5.30pm I had been on the go for 10 hrs, and I really felt 'snacky'. I was aware that I felt thirsty - so I bought a bottle of sparkling water (just water) and sipped that for the next 2 hrs until I got home. I'd ...

I can't wait for this!!

My first day, yesterday, was SUCCESS - riding home from vacation. Although I used some artificial sweetener in my coffee and had a diet coke, I'd say it's awesome to have a long day of travel and eat 3 meals instead of 3 meals plus 500 snacks in the car. :D Breakfast- 4 cheese and salami sticks, Lun...
