When I'm dieting, I find that I spend more time cutting out recipes and viewing what I call "Food Porn" - tv shows that focus on cooking techniques or that travel to different restaurants, and I also spend more time reading online reviews of services that offer to sell you different kinds of food.
One of my favorite food porn sites is MySubscriptionAddiction which reviews a multitude of "box of the month" clubs. You can sign up to get a box of different Japanese treats every month, or a weekly box of basic meal ingredients and the recipes to prepare them. There are a few one-time offers, for example, Martha Stewart will send you all the ingredients and instructions to make a Thanksgiving meal for eight to ten people. There aren't too many "diet" options, but I guess that Nutrisystem could be considered a food subscription box system for dieters.
I like Japanese things, so I had been looking at several Japanese-themed boxes, but I realized that getting a whole pound of goodies at one time would be hazardous, so yesterday (my diet day off) I stopped by Daiso and picked up a container of Meji Yan Yan as my "day off treat".
I don't think that having the treat itself was that big a mistake, but my decision not to eat anything else for the rest of the day was, because after several hours I got so hungry all my good intentions disappeared and I extended the list of "day-off treats".
So, now I know not to try that again. At least I didn't sign up for a "candy of the month" club.
This started out as "Can an Old Lady Lose Weight on Nutrisystem" but as time went on it became obvious Nutrisystem wasn't goting to work very well. As of 11-28-16 I am going to work on finding an alternative.
