Everyday Systems

June check in so far:

1-2: Green
3: Red - shared a rice pudding for dessert with my BF because they had it at the restaurant we were at, and he loves rice pudding, and him eating dessert without me is unheard of. Also we ate dinner so early I will probably need a snack later so that I'm not too ...

You can start now!

...and then I had an unplanned ice cream and cookie dough snack after dinner

Thanks ladybird!

Took a modest NWS day today to do something I've been wanting to do for a while. Since I had a weekday off work I went to the area where I used to work (I now WFH in a neighboring city) to go to one of my old favorite lunch spots and a special coffee shop that are both only open on ...

3 years later, I'm back. Don't remember why I fell off the wagon. In the meantime I've done a bit of "intuitive eating", a bit of calorie counting, a bit of RP Simple Diet Templates , and a bit of noting in particular... and I'm about 20 pounds heavier than the last time I posted here 🙃

The RP ...

There is a subreddit already, by the way: https://old.reddit.com/r/nosdiet/

It's pretty quiet but I hope it will grow. Since so many people are on Reddit already the friction for joining is much lower than here.

Happy this forum is still available too, though!

I read somewhere on this forum that 2 "special" days per month are smiled upon. So at the beginning of the month, I plan two days. Last month it was my birthday and our Easter party at work. This month it's memorial day and out monthly birthday celebration at work. If there's a month when I have ...

Wow. Yesterday was a 5 course home cooked food extravaganza and it really reinforced how well No S works for me. The food was amazing but I was kind of miserable. The courses were spaced out a lot, but not enough for me to get truly hungry, just enough to make me feel like I was eating all day and I ...

Biggest victory so far: I've had a pint of Ben and Jerry's untouched in the freezer for nearly three weeks! And I probably won't have it this weekend either, since we'll be out of town for Easter. Enjoying other sweets.

I've got a half eaten container of toffee on the coffee table right in front of ...

From a dieting/weight loss point of view, the problem with white rice is it's much less satiating per calorie. Not a problem if it's just part of your meal, along with satiating protein and vegetables, and you don't take seconds!

In some dishes I like brown rice, for example I find the extra ...

That's right. I use it and I think it's great! I find that weighing daily & using Happy Scale to smooth out the graph has helped me understand & not fear weight fluctuations.

Great job having a green week!

What do you mean about the "this is why you're fat" moment? Did they say that to you because of what you were eating?


No, not at all! They didn't comment on my food at all. It was just something I thought to myself, since there was a clear difference between ...

First green week accomplished. No real challenges. Somebody did bring a box of See's chocolates to work, but I avoided the kitchen for a couple hours and when I finally went over for a glass of water, the chocolates were all gone. I didn't even have to try to resist!

Anyway, today was a success as ...

A while ago I filled out this "Ideal Weight Program" questionnaire: https://www.humanos.me/home/iwpquiz

You answer some questions about your eating habits and it gives you a score in six categories:

Stress Food Environment Sleep Appetite Food Reward Physical Activity

It didn't really tell me ...

I'm planning to use this thread as a diary--I don't plan to update daily, just whenever I have something to say.

This week is going to be my first full week of No S without any non-weekend S days. I did No S last week, but Thursday was my birthday so I had some treats and an awesome seafood boil ...
