It's such a relief not to be constantly thinking about "what can I eat". I've noticed since No Sing, that is exactly what I had been doing on every single diet I'd been on. I've lost 2lbs. my first week without really thinking about it. I can't say that I haven't wanted to snack but even when I ...

Bright Angel,
My family kept kosher so there wasn't any bacon or gravy made from bacon drippings in milk. To tell you the truth that doesn't sound good to me at all and I don't keep kosher. My mom worked in a bakery and it was a treat when she would bring home a loaf of hot sour dough bread, just ...

Everytime I read a post here it sparks another memmory that I haven't thought of is ages. Staying out until after dark and sitting on my neighbors steps (middle of the block) and telling ghost stories. I have to admit that we did snack. I was one of the youngest on the block. Me and one or two of ...

I've made it through the weekend. I ate a "bit" more than I should have, we had Outback last night and I went to town on the Bloomin Onion and had a "small" milk shake later on. The amazing thing is I don't feel guilty! :!: This has to be the first time ever that I don't feel like I failed, totally ...

"G-d" you sparked my memory Rheba when you said we used our imaginations. In my neighborhood when someone got a new refridgerator, Stove or anything big it was like the best day ever all the things that the box it came in became!
Who stayed inside on a sunny day? Unfortunately kids have to be a ...

I'm 51 and my mom worked from the time I was in kindergarten. Other than in the lower grades K-2 I don't remember having snack time. You had breakfast at home, lunch at school and maybe a snack when you got home from school and dinner. In my house we didn't have dessert on an every day basis nor did ...

Last night I had the most amazing experience. We had steak for dinner and I couldn't finish it! I just didn't want all of it. But I did eat a couple of pieces of pinapple instead. Is it just that you are giving yourself permission to eat? I just seem to recognise that I'm full and don't need to ...

Rheba,

Could you call the person that is hosting the quilting lunch and explain the situation to them and maybe suggest that lunch be a little bit healthier or even offer to help her make it. Even to have healthier food avaiable with the not so healthy. I bet that some of the other's wouldn't mind ...

Rheba,

I don't know what's on the pages that one of the other posters indicated.
(I just ordered the book). Maybe my advise isn't as good as what's in the book, but... what if you bring a fruit salad or some other dish of something, to your quilting group, that isn't as full of sugar. The other ...

I just bought 2 copies of the book on Amazon. One for myself and one for my sister who has been struggling with her weight since I can remember. Her famous last words are"I have to lose weight". I hope this helps her as much as it seems to be helping me.

Jamiebf,

Thank you for your encouragement about the weekend. I can't imagine not being able to decide what I wanted to eat especially something sweet!
I hope it happens to me, that would be wonderful.

I started NoSing on Monday after reading the Woman's World Article. I have to say this is the easiest "diet" I've ever been on I don't have to calculate anything, I don't have to worry about having enough points left so I can have a potato with my dinner. I am a little worried about the weekend. I'm ...

I'm 51 and haven't had my period for several months now. Just before my period, when I was younger, I use to get very silly and giggle a lot. My Husband, then my boyfriend,always knew when I was getting my period because of the sillyness. I use to crave food any food sweet, salty anything. I ...

I'm a newbie here too. I've joined Weight Watchers about 10 times over about 20 years. I've lost weight and always gained it back and then some.
I like the idea of losing the weight and not having to learn how to eat like a normal person after the "diet" is over. You just learn how to eat normally ...
