Day 19: S-Day

I had a first for me today. Although it was an S-Day, I did not have any Sweets, Seconds or Snacks. This was simply because I didn't feel like having any. I don't think I have ever turned down a sweet or snack before, but now I am learning to understand when I need to eat.

I also ...

Don't feel bad about having some failures along the way. I often find myself standing in the kitchen with the cupboard door open and not realizing that I was even doing it. The way I see it, I took a long time to develop my bad habits and it is going to take awhile to create new and better habits ...

Day 17: Success
I think this was one of the hardest days I have had so far on the No S Diet. All day long I was craving a piece of chocolate. I kept thinking that one piece won't hurt, but I managed to avoid the chocolate and snacking all day. It was a tough day, but willpower did finally win ...

Day 16: Success

Weigh in day went well. Didn't lose any more than the original five pounds, but haven't gained any either. This is good for me as I am usually quite the yo-yo person. I am very happy with the results so far.

I am managing to drink more water this week. It is just getting into the ...

Day 15: Success

It is hard to believe that it has already been three weeks and I am still doing well. I think that hardest part for me has been giving up the morning weigh in that I have been doing for most of my life.

I now only weigh myself on Wednesdays. I still catch myself going to step on ...

No worries about messing up the first week, I did too. I am now in my third week and going strong.

I just finished the book this week and it was really helpful. I don't have any tricks, but I do find that my eating habits are slowly changing themselves.

Good luck!

Day 13: S-Day

Day 14: Success

At first I didn't like the fact that my days off are Sunday and Monday which meant that I don't get to snack or eat sweets on both my days off. Today I realized that this is a good thing as Monday was probably my worst day for snacking.

I am glad that I need to ...

Day 12: S-day

Not too bad of an S-Day today. I think that it helps that I work every Saturday as it allows me to keep a bit of a schedule with a little added bonus. I still ate healthy meals and had no seconds. I had two cookies for dessert tonight and that was it. (They were so worth the wait ...

Day 10: Success

Day 11: Success

A totally green week on my HabitCal! Yeah for me. I love to see all green. This week wasn't as tough as last week for sure. Whenever I do have a craving for a snack or something sweet I get ensure that I get up and do something active. That seems to help focus my ...

Day 9: Success

I have chosen to weigh myself once a week, which is tough for me as I am usually an every morning scale person. I am proud to say that I have lost 3 pounds during my first week.

I didn't get out walking the past couple of days. Apparently it is going to warm up which will make it ...

Congrats on 10 years!

Day 8: Success

I love the HabitCal as if I even think about having a snack I just think about how bad it will look to have a red mark staring at back at me. It really gives me great incentive.

I am finding that I am not so hungry right after dinner and am not running home after work to cook ...

So I had my first S days this past weekend. I did very well as I stuck to the no seconds throughout the weekend. I did have a small piece of cheese cake on Saturday, but didn't eat like I normally would have on the weekend.

I worked to avoid the scale this morning as I am trying to only weigh ...

Day 4: Success

Day 5: Failure

I forgot that we had a late dinner party planned with friends and didn't have a good enough breakfast or lunch so that I was really hungry about an hour before we were going out. I did have a snack to help make it through.

Although I did have a failure today, I am ...

Day 3: Success!

I am finding the after work snack to be the hardest to try and avoid, but so far I have been good.I. I am learning to keep busy until it is time to make supper. In the evening my husband and I have started walking for about 45 minutes the past three days.

I never realized how much ...

Just started the No S Diet. I am terrible for snacking and want to try to cut it out, so this is the perfect diet for me.

I also read the article in Woman's World magazine and started the No S Diet on Monday. It is so easy, I can't imagine why anyone didn't think of it sooner. I also can't wait to join the 21 club, see you there!
