Maintenance Plan for Week 14


 I am going to stay with 40 bites next week. As you can see I am at the upper end of my Goal Range....But no spazing out!!! It will come off eventually, if I stick to my bite plan!!

------------------------------------

Behavior= Results
-----------------------

Good Behavior= Good Results
Negative Behavior= Bad Results

In this I know, If I stick to the plan, the wieght drops and stays in my goal range. IF I SPAZ out that my wieght is in the upper range, and start binging, my wieght will NOT stay in the goal range. Like Reinhard Engels says, Do the Minimum Level of Requirement.  That is what keeps us in it for the long term!

No problem, if my weight is still in the upper range next Thursday at my bite Evaluation, all I have to do is simply LOWER my bites a bit more and the weight will naturally drop on its own.

I like to have this goal range that I can move back and forth without stressing too much....

 I had a Capital S day on Last Friday and it was fun.

 I am having a few problems with exercise, burn-out and also another possible health problem that makes me not want to exercise as hard... I want to get an elliptical, that minimizes impact and also would give me a variety. 

So If I dont exercise as much or as hard, it will take less bites to maintain my wieght, and I choose what I want, and then I Accept the behavior that it will take to keep me there...In other words, accept the small amount of food it takes for me to Maintain my weight if I choose not to exercies as much/as hard.

Maintenance Plan for Week 12

Ive decided to keep my bite count the same for next week as I will have a Capital S day coming up in another week or two. (For those of you who are not familiar with that term, it means I am free for the most of the day   to not count bites or limit my food for the most paRt.. My dear husband takes me out to a few different restaurants and I enjoy that day!  A "free day" sort of.) Thinking about taking an S day on May 10th, not sure yet....

As you can see I lost a few pounds scince last week, but I have really been cutting down on my sweets kind of automaticly, because I was having a  suspicion  it was causing a few health problems (heart palps) So I have decided its best to to just keep things simple and not put a cap on my "allowed sweets", and let myself Intuitively  decide how many bites of sweets I want to consume in my bite count. I always am pulled towards having some protien in every meal for sure.

Someone mentioned on the No S forums how that bite counting couldnt become unconscience effort. In my experience,  Anything can become an unconscience effort when it becomes a Habit!!! 

My friend over at http://diethobby.com/blog.php  has counted calorie and recorded them, day in and day out for years. She has made it a habit in her life and she has had wonderful success Maintaining her weight Long term by doing this!

Using my Eat Slower Pro App    has made it easier to become a natural habit, I don't have to put forth alot of effort to count my bites!  The app does it Automatically  for me. When I am away from home, I can simply place my phone on my lap and it automatically vibrates and counts my bites, spacing each bite around a minute apart so I can still eat  delicious foods and enjoy them, all the while eating slowly....

 By doing the same thing, day in and day out, it has become a habit for me.... It is not always perfect, but it has become a habit in my life now.

Even people who have  followed Vanilla No S for years sometimes get off track for a week or a few days. Judith Beck says, dieting and Maintaining your weight follows the following sequence: It is easy for a while and then you go through a period where it may be a bit harder, then it gets easy.... This pattern continues over and over and over again!!!

So Do What Works For YOU! That is what will make you successful in the long term!!! :)

Yay for Habits, for they are powerful things!
