Yes, yes, yes. You got it Tessy. Make the right modifications for YOURSELF. Vanilla isn't working. That is OKAY my friend! Nothing wrong with a snack and drink. If the drink alone doesn't work, include a 4th mini meal. 8) Keep going! There is nothing magical about 3 meals. 4 meals can do just as good.

Thank you so much for the re-assurance. I needed to hear it. I feel snacky this afternoon. I had to leave the building as I know I'm going to be here later than usual so I popped out for a bit. I went to Tim's again, and this time got a decaf with triple milk. No sugar. I figured the milk might help...

I felt so full last night, and when I eat even *a little* too much, it feels like my skin can't stretch enough over my stomach. Talk about uncomfortable. I need to be really cognizant of that when deciding to have an extra bite or two. Or three. It HURTS. B: slice bread w/ pb, banana, small apple Go...

Hey girls, I thoroughly appreciate your responses. Sorry for not posting sooner, I've been tremendously busy. Tessy, it's what you mentioned about being faced with our old selves on S days. I can feel totally cured but I don't feel I can be left alone without any conscious thought when it comes to e...

After a failure on Friday and S day on Saturday, I really do feel like crap. Kinda makes me wonder why I do it when honestly I felt more satisfied, physically and mentally, on N days. I'll probably re-think the concept a little bit. It's not providing me with any joy. It's Sunday morning, I'm drinki...

Tessy, thanks for being such a support. You made me feel emotional for a moment about remembering how precious this time is. I had a hard time getting pregnant and this is all I've wanted for a long time. It may be the only time. I will cherish every moment. I am surprised that I've been so successf...

Hey Hippy! Thanks for your comments. Funny you mention about oatmeal not being filling enough. I used to find that too, in fact I used to always be starving by lunch no matter what I ate for breakfast. But now, my appetite has gone WAYYY down. I never feel hungry much anymore, other than night time ...

Please please don't feel low Tessy. If you only knew how many times I've been there. I can seriously tell you that 99% of the time over the past number of years I've been trying to No S I've never accomplished Vanilla. But that doesn't mean I wasn't successful - I still managed to get and stay at a ...

Just some thoughts I want to scribble down. 1) When I feel like snacking, go do something productive instead. For example, I am always behind on cleaning around the house. If it starts to look much cleaner, it'll be the physical result of my saying no to snacks. I wonder how much time I waste eating...

Thank you very much! Let's go for another successful day :) Amazing what the overeating/sodium did to me - weight is 134.5 this morning. Day 2: SUCCESS Breakfast - oatmeal again (powdered milk, flax seeds, walnuts, raisins, this time with a banana too). Lunch - more veggie soup with 4 pumpkin raviol...

Day 1 Vanilla: SUCCESS My weight has soared in a few days to 138 lbs which is crazy. It could be simply too much food (most likely culprit), maybe retaining water too. All I know is this trend cannot stay. Clearly I'm not trying to lose weight and so Im calming down my diet head and accepting the #1...

I appreciate your saying that. I will think of you ladies on this board tomorrow when my motivation is low and I start to not care. We should set up a challenge or something. Today S day was OK.

Imogen, I have to say I'm in complete agreement on that. I was able to maintain a slim weight I was very happy with, while just about never doing it perfectly. I can probably count on two hands how many Vanilla days I've had, seriously. But it obviously didn't matter, rules are just rules, in the en...

Thanks Imogen! The WTH effect has gotten me so many times, I'm even kinda feeling it tonight, but curiously not acting on it. I'm just kinda going back to my old way of just eating three meals, day in and out, not worrying about the more minute details (for me) like using separate plates or having s...
