Everyday Systems

Thanks Alanajuliana! (luv that - it's so lyrical)

Did good again yesterday!

Today will be a red day - I'm sure. There is a retirement function this afternoon...I'm sure I'll have something during that time period...which would count as a snack :(

and tomorrow will be questionable as it is the ...

So, I did good yesterday with all the suggestions!

I had a glass of oj when I felt the "snack attack", started dinner (easy baked boneless skinless chicken breasts, veggies and mac & cheese), then I physically left the room. I didn't even go to the family room(usual habit to sit and watch tv...and ...

Thank you all for your wonderful ideas...

Yes I have a crock pot and use it some - I should get it out more!

I like the juice ideas too - hadn't thought of that...

I have ordered the book, waiting for it to arrive.

I try to eat more for lunch and I do eat lunch later in the day...

And.. just ...

I've been at this for about 2 weeks, doing my traking on habit cal. My pattern seems to be that I can go 2 days without any problem, then boom! I let something derail me...there's always an excuse.

I haven't lost any weight and thankfully haven't gained any either.

My S days are ok, I don't binge ...

I did good all day, but when I got home from work I went straight for a snack.
Chips. They had been calling my name all week and I just gave without even a real thought to what I was doing.

Then, on top of that - I made it worse by not going to exercise ...

Turtledove,

The only real struggle I have with N days is about 4:30-7:00, when I would really, really love to eat something.

Me too! I'm really new and just learning... but wow those are some difficult hours to get thru.

day 2

No S
exercise

I did good during the day, instead of hitting the snack machine at 3, I sipped a cup of black tea.

Dinner wasn't terribly healthy as H and D ordered pizza, but I only ate 3 small slices that fit on my plate - no seconds!

Not snacking proved to be more of a problem ...

Hi Sherri, I'm really too new to this to be able to say anything profound. But I think you will feel really good about yourself if you stick with it. The beauty of the plan is that it's more of a philosophy than a system of self-punishment. So hang in there and believe in yourself and take care of ...

Welcome to the forum....

Janie,

Thanks for the welcome!

Sherri

Doin' great! This is so easy to do as far as eating better goes. Controling myself is always hard, but this doesn't take up my life to do this. No counting, no yucky foos, nothinking about food all day. Food is put on the back burner. Pun intended. I'm loosing and I can imagine doing this forever ...

I think I did good - any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

During the day I stayed away from regular soda and the snack machine...breakfast and lunch were proportional (I actually shared some of my H french fries at lunch and didn't feel like a failure for ...

Semper Fi, Mom. My son is a Marine as well. Thank you for being a support to him while he serves his country.

And welcome to No S. It's a sane place in the middle of a crazy (food) world.

Semper Fi!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I really like your "sane place" idea. Hoping to stop my on ...

I'm new to the No S diet, learning as I go.

Sid,
It sounds like you have what it takes to succeed.
I'll be watching your progress.
Good Luck


Thank you Bright Angel. I hope I have what it takes to succeed. I've tried soooo many other things and they work - for a while, till I just can't ...

Hi all!

I'm new to the No S diet, learning as I go. I just joined yesterday, but didn't do so well last night. Major scheduling interruption and dinner ended up being grab what you can, get more later. Ugh. :oops: Which of course led to poor quality, highly processed, full of fat and not healthy ...

I'm starting today too!

I've tried so-o-o many other things...this seems almost too rational!

Well...here's to us!
