Everyday Systems

I am a nursing mom. I'm also have a history of being addicted to sweets and binge on them at times, so this mod really is working for me. This is every day:

- no sweets except for in front of others on special occasions ( don't eat them alone) I do allow myself dark chocolate and diet soda.

-one ...

Hello at 5am! One of the joys of being a new mom :)

Doing pretty well. I will skate for the first time since being pregnant this weekend and am very excited.

A good N day. I never realized how much the munching and tasting really added up. When cleaning up dinner, I used to always mindless eat ...

Tempted to get on the scale, but I will resist. I am so tired. Trying to get baby to sleep in her crib. Will go to the gym today and run some errands.


Didn't like my dinner last night. It turned out differently then what I wanted it. Boy, did I want to cheat after that. I learned my lesson ...

Today was pretty hectic. I was so busy in fact that I didn't get to lunch until 4pm. Can you believe I forgot to eat? Where is the real MaryAnn?

Have to take baby for her shots tomorrow. Already wondering how I will cope.

So far so good. Another good N day.

Well, I have decided to start ice skating again. I used to compete on a team and they want me back! I will skate at a competition at the end of January. which gives me very little time to get back into shape after having a baby. Again, its tempting to start a diet again, but I will not give. Doing ...

Thanks, Sophia. You too

Did well yesterday. Resisted coconut cream pie for dessert but brought piece home and ate it today. So far, my S day is fine. Normal breakfast, munched on some grapes, normal lunch, had some coconut cream pie and gingerale, and am having a roast chicken dinner.

Funny, but I think I enjoy N days ...

Well, at the doctors I weighed only five pounds more then before I got pregnant, so I am happy with that. I was afraid that if I didn't like the number, I would go off No S and go back to counting calories for a quick fix. Truth is, there is no quick fix. Still, after the doctor's I went to the ...

Day three and I have a few thoughts:

-Like I said before I have tried NoS with several failures in the past, but now I understand why. Although I tried to follow the rules to a T, I still ate what I thought I should eat rather then what I wanted to eat. For the past few days, I have eaten exactly ...

Thank you for your welcome blue skies and janie!

I look forward to hearing more from you. Its interesting, blue skies, I have started no S many times but I know it will be different this time b/c I'm not just doing this for me.

Janie, I gave my daughter a huge nuzzle for you.

Hi everyone,

I am a new mom to daughter Alexa born Oct 16th. I am doing this for her as well as myself so I can once and for all develop a healthy relationship with food and set a good example for her. It would also be nice to lose some baby weight :D . Started yesterday, so I'll log in both days ...

There are so many, but before I got married, I went on a very strict Atkins diet. I lost a ton of weight and looked good in my dress, but the side-effects were just awful: bad breath, constipation, exhaustion, always dehydrated. I gained back all the weight and more on my honeymoon!

Then to the ...

I like:

-1/2 a large sesame bagel with peanut butter and an orange.
-Cereal with milk and fruit
-Eggs really fill me up!


I also have a bread machine and there is nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. I have one slice with butter and either yogurt or fruit (or a little of ...
