Fall down 7, get up 8

Clearly, I didn't stick with it.

My problem with the sort of program in the Drop 10 Challenge (which I wrote about in April) is that I need to think in terms of what the plan allows - there's little room for spontaneity, and I have to (gasp!) plan.  That doesn't work so well for someone with ADD.

I've ditched the Drop 10 Challenge - it didn't take long - and sought the advice of the Internet on what to try next.  I think I've found it.

It's simple.  It's nearly idiot-proof.  It's the No S Diet.  No Snacks.  No Sweets.  No Seconds... except Sometimes, on days that start with S.

Ice cream, we won't be parted for long.  We can wait 'til the weekend.

Of course, that leaves room for interpretation, and it's up to me to make sure that those meals are healthy first and foremost.  I find that it's much easier to not get upset with myself about eating total crap if I have it with other healthy bits of a meal.

It counts if it's a meal!

And honestly, this No Sweets thing is helping.   The other day I opened a bag of Swedish Fish without finishing it.  For me, that's an accomplishment.
