About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

The Plan for 2013

Buy 'A Woman of Moderation' on Amazon.caI've had great success following the eating plan detailed on the Learning Moderation Began Here page. However, I've never been keen on having my girls witness me NOT eating for an entire day, regardless of the reason, so summers and other school holiday days have always proved problematic and have been used as excuses to quit.

This year, I've determined to stick to the plan REGARDLESS of whether or not the girls are at home, but I am allowing modification so that when they're home, I just won't have fasting days.  I will simply alternate "half" and "normal" days.

In addition, I've swapped out one fasting day for a "normal" day, so now I have three normal eating days (the NEW normal, of course!), and four where I eat only half that, or less.  So for the majority of weeks in the year, here's how the plan now looks:

Sunday ~ Half
Monday ~ Fast
Tuesday ~ Normal
Wednesday ~ Half
Thursday ~ Normal
Friday ~ Fast
Saturday ~ Normal
 
When we have weekend company staying till Monday (like my parents always do), my weeks will look like this:
Sunday ~ Half
Monday ~ Normal
Tuesday ~ Half
Wednesday ~ Fast
Thursday ~ Normal
Friday ~ Fast
Saturday ~ Normal

My plan is for success this year and I think allowing myself to make this plan a little more flexible will go a long way towards making that happen.
