Everyday Systems

Thanks for the encouragement.
I think I read someones post mentioning sustainability and NOS is what I always come back to as the thing I could actually do for the rest of my life. Here's to a healthy attitude about food!

Hi all,

Been doing NOS again for 2 weeks and have lost 3 lbs. I'm glad to be back on NOS. My goal is to lose 50 lbs. I'm going to try not sabotage myself this time!

Take care,
BB

Hey Peetie,

I think I may have to make some prune cake for my S treat. :lol: Not quite sure on the prune frosting though!

I agree that the treat should be sizable as skimping with me does seem to build resentment. Balance is a hard thing for me to master. :x Looking forward to the day when less ...

Reinhard,

I do think both aspects are a problem. Most of my failures with diets always started with a small cheat and then the guilt took over and hence the downward spiral.

I do think the limited S is what I need to feel in control but still rewarded.
Thanks for the insight and support!

Hi all,

Thanks ladies for the kind comments. I definitely am going to keep trying as I can't stand the constant obsession about food other diets seem to promote. I think in my mind I justify binging because of being good all week. I have a hard time considering a single serving a reward. I think it ...

Hi all,

Just a note to say I fell off the wagon. :oops: I've actually gained weight but I think it's from wrong thinking regarding Sday eating. With me it seems like it's all or nothing as far as binging on S days. I have great intentions but once I start eating something sweet it seems like that ...

Hi all,

Just a note to say had a successful S day.
Didn't binge but treated myself both days. I was actually a little lighter Monday than Friday.
Have a good week.

Bob

"Thanks again for your support".

Spiral,
Great idea on not making it easy to overindulge. I'm guilty of thinking I deserve the binge because of good behavior throughout the week. I agree that it comes down to doing what you know is the best for you and not what gives immediate gratification and ...

Hi all,

I'm still struggling with S day binging. It seems that my reward still seems to be quantity not quality. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break the habit of quantity reward into a habit of quality reward. I've been doing NoS since July.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Bob

Like the saying goes, "The best things in life are free".
I don't know how many diet books @ $10-$20 I have bought only to find out that:
1: I can't afford to eat that way
2: There's no way I could do this for the rest of my life
3: I don't begin to have the money to buy all their supplements so ...

Thanks for all the encouragement. I definitely am going to do this for a lifetime so I guess I have so time to adjust. I'm guilty of having the right now mentality which is something I need to relearn also. :) I like the feeling of control during the week and will be glad when that feeling transfers ...

Thanks for the encouragement. I think rewarding yourself with something extra special without the constant grazing might be the key for me.

I had lost 40 lbs on basically the nos diet but I didn't give myself the weekends as a break and fell back into my old obsession with food. I gained back 20 of ...

Hi all,
Been Nos for about 3 weeks and have lost 3 lbs. I have a question about moderation on S days. I've been dieting on and off for a long time and have aquired the idea of binging because I'm "never" going to be able to eat it again. I've enjoyed being able to have treats on S days but wonder if ...
