Everyday Systems

I started on July 27 - so day #9 for me.
All is good!

Just returned from vacation so I'm looking forward to relaxing into my 3 a Day!

Welcome Silky!

You're right about these boards - lots of good advice and positive energy. I've been On Plan for exactly one month and am loving it.

I'm learning to enjoy a lot of formerly forbidden foods - it's great to have them back in a moderate way - pizza, french fries, pasta.

I haven't ...

You are an inspiration!

Your blog is so good - on days like today, it keeps me going. For the past month, its been smooth sailing with No-sing and then today, it's like "Bam! - I feel fat!"

These negative thoughts could be tied to my monthly cycle - could be, probably are! I know they will pass ...

Been there - done that! Time to move on and step away from the scale!

I have been noSing for about a month and I can tell you it's the best thing since sliced sourdough!

I have not stepped on the scale yet - but it was only yesterday that I put on my size 6 slim-fitting skirt and the zipper just ...

No crawling necessary! Nothing but loving support.

It works - you know it does - it's mind-expanding, it's freedom finding, it's fun, it's easy. It makes each day a new adventure.

Can anyone say that about a confining, refining diet plan - this many points, that many servings...dull, dull, dull ...

But do you really want the couscous? That is the question! I wouldn't want it everyday - just as I wouldn't want a sandwich every day.

That's what I love about this way of life - you only have one plate per meal - what's it going to be? Make it count. Make it delicious. Don't make it a mathematical ...

I've just came across your posts and have read them all. You are an inspiration! I love your positive attitude and the success you are finding with this WOE!

I am so close to you in years (47 years old - with a seven year old son) and am also loving the plan. It seems to make a lot of sense to ...

Hey Melissa,
Relax - it was 2 cookies and a glass of milk! It's a minor slip-up on the road called 'life'!
You've got a great habit formed - and one that you'll get back to. It's interesting that the slip-up happened after a disappointing meal.

It's so important eat what really appeals to you ...

Yes, it's such a good reminder to 'keep the habits' and watch the outcome - instead of the other way around - constantly checking the scale is such a waste of time!

Start of week 4 - I haven't weighed yet, but I can tell you, I have not gained weight (judging by my clothes) and I have enjoyed the ...

Back in the day, when I was 15 years old - I devised at 3-a-day plan that helped me lose 15 pounds before I started high school. It was so much simpler than the complicated diets I found in Seventeen Magazine and it worked.

I never did regain those 15 (well, I did, but not until much later). I was ...

I'm just new at this, but it seems to me if that if this is your lunch and it holds you for many hours - so be it. It's is S safe. Be careful not to get too legalistic about it - it's not about food lists or rules, the rules are simple - good luck!
