Everyday Systems

Here we go again. Back up to 115kgs.

This time I have extra incentive. Diagnosed with NAFLD, gastroenteritis, reflux, and back problems also likely related to weight.

Let's see if I can keep it up for longer this time!

Wow, contratulations! That's platinum -- not even a single NWS day (non- weekend S-day)

Platinum it is then! The habit cal's really helped actually. This month won't be quite so perfect though - I'm calling today an S day because it's my birthday, so I had a small piece of treacle tart with ...

Hrm. Since there's only weekend days left this month and I'm claiming them as S days, I guess I can claim a gold medal, based on http://everydaysystems.com/habitcal/vie ... SimonsDiet

Yaay me

I won't be updating this thread any more - rather I will use habitcal. This was a very useful way to start off on the diet. I have now lost 2kg since coming back from holiday, so I'm back in the black

Thanks for all the help and support people.

So, end of Holiday was Monday. I gained just under 1kg from five weeks of excess - mainly because it was so hot everywhere that we didn't eat very much! Hawaii, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok - we were eating twice a day, and drinking lots and lots of water!

Tuesday was a failure - I tried, and failed ...

I have to admit, I don't think a lot about this. Unlike hunger for food, I think thirst actually is a good mechanism to regulate water intake (unless you're hiking in the desert or running a marathon).

The one reason I might advise being more systematic about it is if it helps distract you from ...

Just found HabitCal, looks like it will help:

So I started No S in November last year, got down to a sensible weight in February, and then somehow faded out. Starting again. Hints and encouragement gratefully accepted.

Hey there,

So I found this diet last week, and it seems like a godsend. I need a diet that works on Psychology rather than Arithmetic, and gives me simple guidelines based on common sense.

My problem (and the reason I'm writing) is that I've found myself being scared of going hungry. This leads to ...
