Neice's B/F Birthday: is this boyfriend or best friend? That wouldn't even be close to an S day for me, and cake wouldn't be close to an N Day for me, so *I* would mark it Fail for *me*. I think we all need to decide the ground rules for ourselves, though.

Today's AHA! Moment: When I allow my appetite to rule my meals, I may not eat the same number of calories each day, or get my "5 a day" each day, but it all evens out in the end. I find myself getting enough fruit (whereas fruit used to be a rare item on my plate. Too much sugar, you know ...

day 23

I know that for me, breakfast must be an equal mix of carbs and protein with some fat in order for it to carry me over until lunch. I also know that a varied lunch suits me better than a one or two item lunch. And dinner has to be hot. That is what I've learned about my belly so far this ...

Yep. the whole week was much better. I retained fluid still, but only a little and the scale didn't budge, whereas it normally goes up a couple pounds. And I felt better. I wasn't trapped at home on the couch for the first few days. :)

Thanks Texan & Kevin.

Kevin, my tummy was rumbling at 11, so no, they did not. So I ate lunch nearly an hour earlier than usual -- noon instead of 1. So I bet I get hungry before dinnertime too.

Woman Talk. No S Helps with cramps/bloating? *Maybe TMI

Normally this time of month, I am in a lot of discomfort. I bloat, I cramp. My back hurts.

This month, not as much. I am usually stuck sitting down with a heating pad for the first three days of my period. This month, it's been much, much better -- the first time I could say that in a decade.

I am a huge fan of the structure of this way of eating. I can count on it. I don't have to pack a snack if I'm leaving for the afternoon, and I don't have to tote around a calorie counter if I'm going to be out for dinner. I can eat sensibly at mealtime and move on. I love this ...
