Everyday Systems

It's like you've written a lot of our stories here! I, too, have "been there, done that." I haven't posted anything lately--just hanging out reading posts. Your's caught my attention. My weight up until my 20's was in the 140 range--I am 5'6" also. I would binge on sweets to overcome stressful ...

Thanks, Heidi. I, too, felt starting before New Year's had its advantages. I felt soooooo bloated after Christmas, I honestly had to do something. I really didn't want to think of it as a resolution or anything--it's just a good time of the year to start with healthy habits--what more appropriate ...

Wasn't completely successful today. I slipped up tonight when I got a little hungry and grabbed a handful of potatoe chips. I'd love to have gone back for seconds, thirds, etc. but got a glass of o.j. and said "that's enough." I know tomorrow will be better and I will get 21 days of success in! I ...

Yesterday and today have been good S days. Haven't gorged; allowed myself sweets and ate moderately. Also, walked 30 minutes both days. I really feel this time around the habit is taking hold more readily. I've gone into this without rules of my own. It makes a difference.

We're the same age and I, too, am going back around to this after gaining 10 lbs. You would think by this age, we would have figured out that doing the same old thing over and over isn't bringing any different results. It's truly got to be a change of habit--nice thing about this change is it's ...

Yesterday was success!! I am beginning to get the hang of this again and feeling better about it this time.
Today is starting out good. Plan to walk later.
Last night, I got awake hungry. I got up and drank a glass of apple cider. In the past, I would have gorged on something sweet to help sleep ...

You're right. It has helped many times thinking about seeing red verses green that has kept me from putting something in my mouth.
I'd have to say yesterday was yellow. I hadn't planned on it being an S day, but should have. We had plans changed from going out to having company over and had ...

Thanks for your welcome! I just got the book and am reading it now. I know the concepts very well, but felt seeing it in black and white in book form would help "drive the points" home. This board helps so much with accountability!

The one I picked up was from our local Martin's Grocery Store. I have also found it in our health food store. It is made by Lily of the Desert. I think plain aloe vera gel would work (made of course to be ingested.) This particular one I drink has other ingredients that are soothing for the stomach ...

HI. I, too, feel maybe I'm too new to be giving advice, but I will tell you something I've been experimenting with. When I did NoS before, I had intense hunger pain between meals, and I emphasize INTENSE. I started reading how acid can do this. I searched for quite a while to see what would help the ...

So far, so good. I'm glad I'm starting before New Year's. I honestly knew I'd gorge if I didn't have the accountability of this board. Three meals today with a decaf latte inbetween. Hopefully 21 days like this.....

Hi. I have been here before; but changed my name. I stopped NoSing about a year ago--I guess like a lot of people when I wasn't strict with following the "guidelines", weight didn't come off like I thought and growing disappointed, I thought I'd do my millioneth diet again. (Having a close friend ...
