Stegner Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Just finished a short stint of mule-work, just yard and garden stuff, but I feel so good. The view from my porch is greatly improved and I have earned my keep. When I push my brain and my body I do a lot less thinking about what would taste good.

Stegner Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just back from a weekend out of town. I ate a couple of cookies I could easily have said "no thank you" to, but I enjoyed them and enjoyed the company very much. The happy event I want to record is that I did not eat as if I were off the diet. I did not eat as if this would be my last chance to eat cookies. I did not keep eating when I got home - as if I would be starting a diet tomorrow morning. I just came home, read a bit, and went to bed. This is another in a series of small victories.

Stegner Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Note to self: Meditate every day. It's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stegner Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Another note to self: Maintain the rhythm of hunger and satisfaction. If I am never hungry, I never experience satisfaction. If I don't experience satisfaction, I keep trying to find it with more, or different, or a more forbidden food. Maintain the rhythm of hunger and satisfaction until I know it in my bones.

Stegner Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 After a week-long group hiking trip that included a fair amount of other people's food I was thinking that my pants were a little snug despite all the exercise and what I needed was two weeks of Atkins, or Dukan, or intermittent fasting, or some such thing, but I changed my mind. What I needed was a return to my own cooking in my own kitchen with my own ingredients - timed meals, no snacks. I'm glad I dodged that bullet.
