Eschano - I really, really, really appreciate your thoughts on the animals. I am definitely going to further investigate. Believe it or not, this has caused me a lot of stress which probably sounds weird. I don't really know anyone who cares about the welfare of animals. I know two vegetarians, but ...

Hi people! It's been awhile. I've been meaning to get on here and update what I am up to because you've all been so supportive of my crazy half hearted efforts in the past. I've pretty much tossed No S to the wayside - I finally realized it just WAS NOT working. I tried for years upon years, with we...

Hey guys, thanks for the support. I haven't really committed as I said I would. I got really grumpy between meals. I adopted a more "normal eating" pattern, similiar to what Anoulie posted on her thread. It worked very well. Then yesterday I got some nutball thinking about how I should try to do a n...

CG, yet again, sorry for the late response. I teach high school. I think I like teaching, but not in the conventional sense i.e. plan lessons and deliver to a classroom full of students. I have done a bit of alternative teaching (at risk students) which is a bit different and really liked that. I al...

Thanks clarinetgal. It helps to feel supported. Such a wonderful board - we all just want each other to find out what works best personally for us. I am feeling really good today.

The more time passes, the more I am relaxing about following rules. If I felt like I screwed up in the past, I would always binge. Now, it's gone down dramatically. I really like that. That's where I've just accepted I will NEVER do vanilla in it's purest form. I'm just not that disciplined. I kinda...

Hey Clarinetgal! You ask a good question. I am kind of in a period of transition/shifting habits so I don't really have a solid answer. But I can give you a long-winded one! I don't consciously take S days. I suppose that's because I don't follow a rigid N-day/S-day pattern; if I did, maybe I would....

You are right oolala. I guess the problem is I don't really stick to that pattern, which is why I hesitated saying I'm doing Vanilla. I updated Thursday's food. I ended up getting a little dessert and decided to have that be part of the rules instead of fighting it. I just love and need that time of...

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, and I had some thoughts. I think I may re-introduce myself to No S more purely again. I've developed some good routines (namely, including more veggies) and also continued with some bad habits (snacking too much). Through calorie counting, I l...

Osoniye - thank you for your comment. It's true that most people have a hard time with maintaining and thats why diets lure them in because they can lose but before long it comes back. I am the opposite - I've actually never lost any significant weight on ANY diet until No S. But I maintain like a c...

I went to meet a friend for coffee, so I left them at a low heat in the oven and told DSD to turn off the oven when the timer went. I guess them sitting for awhile made them really tender...

Hey eschano, you are absolutely right, that is the logical thing to do. We've tried it many times before, it doesn't seem to make a difference and she doesn't make friends.
