Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.
Thank you Determined and Milliem!
Loved today. One beautiful vanilla day down.
Looking forward to tomorrow and another of those sensational sandwiches I had for supper. I enjoyed, relished every bite because there wasn't more food to rush to.
Incredibly grateful to have stumbled in here last night
2 vanilla days under my happy belt
Treated today as a No S day since I only just began yesterday and like the practice. Will take an S day tomorrow as a compromise to get through to next weekend.
Very content.
Oh and as a habitual daily weigher am proud to have resisted today. I know not weighing is important to my finding a new, sane way of living and eating.
