RED DOT again, dang it. I was putting white chocolate peppermint pretzel crisps in a holiday container and took a tiny little bite, came back and snuck the rest of it. Then just proceeded to eat a bunch of them. I hate this happening at noon because the rest of the day, I'm generally like, well I ...

Hi! I loved reading through your posts. You can really see the baby steps of progress you are making, yayyyyyyy! I have had babies six times over so my whole life sounds like yours, it's great incentive to know others are out there (snacking leftovers/sampling) exactly the same and making a life ...

Gotta celebrate those kinds of victories :-)

Thanks! I agree!
Today was a green day but then I came back from the gym and my neighbor baked Xmas cookies and gave me some...I started to eat them without thinking. bad. I realized they had peanut butter so I finished what i started and threw the ...

Oatmeal for breakfast, greek for lunch, sweet potato puffs and a fish stick for dinner. There was a melting Oreo ice cream I was putting away just from store, son saw it and wanted a cone. I wanted it desperately but did not give in! So good food day, bad husband day :cry:

Congrats on not giving ...

2 pounds down at the doctor's office, in nearly identical circumstances. That was a nice feeling.

Sunday S- day:
Breakfast: Golden Grahams, milk, banana
Lunch: turkey sandwich, pretzels, Orange
Dessert: 2 cookies
Dinner: General Tso's chicken, lo mein, egg roll, diet coke
Dessert: 2 cookies, egg ...

Another check in...weekend went so so, Sunday better than Saturday but not great. Today was not a green day, but it was better. My husband was home with us so there tends to be more eating when he is around. No S has been helping me get better at stopping to think before eating "do i want this" and ...

It is an S day (saturday) but trying to stick to a clean day but failing miserably. I realized danger zone for me is after lunch / before dinner, when I am still spending time around the kitchen food. Today:

b- part of a waffle, tea

l - got home from tough workout and spouse bought favorite type ...

Finally a green day! well not totally, but for me.
I did have a 'snack' before breakfast - every day when I wake up I need to eat a small something dry before my tea otherwise if I have it on an empty stomach I get nauseous. So that's on my plan.

b- steak/egg/cheese sandwich at cuban restaurant
l ...

also realized I'd be more accountable if I posted what I ate. Today:

B: on the run because was late getting the toddler to his doc appointment - part of a bowl of ginger banana oatmeal. Put the remainder in the fridge.

L: remainder of oatmeal, some turkey / avocado (staple foods for me), piece of ...

Haven't checked in in a few days, and certainly no perfect days yet..and coming off the weekend, but for 3 nights in a row i held off after lunch for a good dinner, and have been snacking less in between meals, trying to get that enjoyable feeling of hunger that makes food taste so much better ...

Thanks for the tip! you're totally right, I should just put it away. Sometimes though if i'm feeding him something I like (such as avocado), i'll take a little bite too. My son generally only eats 3 meals a day and one snack. I am kind of determined to have him NOT be a snacker like me, so all of ...

Welcome, Scoripo! Being at home with a small child is really challenging when working on improving your eating habits, so definitely be proud of the small steps you are making in the right direction. Hang in there!

Yes! It is so hard, especially not to nibble when he doesn't touch his food...don ...

So for the rest of the day...challenge 1, around 2:30 pm, about to run errands with my child, hungry emotionally and really wanting that snack, a luna bar, some protein, something. My victory is that I managed to go outside and tell myself to hold out till dinner! I did however, when buying ...

Hi All!
I am so excited to have found this diet. I have struggled with binge eating and in college dabbled in bulimia :( For me, food begets food, and boredom makes me eat. I was able to avoid the kitchen but i have a toddler who needs to be fed 4-5x a day, so I am stuck being around food all day ...
