Today was a failed day :( I definitely don't think I should try to worry about making it to the 21 days yet. I should just try to wean out my weekly need for an S day.
Why did this failure occur?

Monday, I5, was also successful. I do feel really weak today, though. I should eat more at meals! This means I have 16 more days until I have habit formation.

Well, today was also also a successful S day. Now that I'm not being such a glutton on S days, I feel much better!
I do like my mod of adding 1 emergency S event during the week in case I feel I really need it. This is my first week with this mod. We'll see if it works out...

Froyo
I was just wondering about Froyo (frozen yogurt). Is that counted as a sweet? I think it would taste great with cereal and fruit in the morning. What do you guys think? It does have SOME sugar in it, but I think it's pretty minimal compared with ice cream and such. I know that regular yogurt is okay ...

Today was the start of my mod of max 2 S events per S day. I finally found that I was enjoying my S day rather than fearing it/a future binge. What a relief! I just really needed more structure on S days than I was giving myself. Binges suck, and I honestly think that more than 2 S's would make me ...

Re: Popping in to say "Hi" again...

In most cases, I find my appetite suppressed when I'm sick. But, this was a stomach sickness (I don't want to get into gross details). So, I was feeling really empty and needed more food in my belly!

That's great that you have 50% success rate! When you're trying to lose weight, it's easy to get discouraged. Try to think about this as glass half full/50% success rate rather than glass half empty/50% failure rate. I've been doing the diet a month, and I have yet to reach a perfectly compliant ...
