Wow I haven't posted in so long!

Why did I leave NoS?

Well I'm back.

I'll use this as a food journal, of sorts.

Today I will start checking in again.

One single-plate meal at night, except in social situations.

I'm gonna have a great day

oooh I've been bad! Not checking in!

Saturday and Sunday were great. I did laundry and a little grocery shopping and a little nursing of myself... I felt like a I was catching a cold.

Today I'm doing fine. I will workout, shower, and watch the (fake) Housewives of ...

Ms

Success

I call it a success day! I want to do better, and I KNOW that I can!

Eat only one single-plate meal at night, unless invited to a social meal. If I accept invitation to a social meal and it's appropriate to eat, then eat only half of that meal and toss the rest.

10.14.10 FAIL

I ate lunch by myself (the owner overcharged me!! I won't eat there again), then Inari sushi by myself after work, then a huge dinner at home with seconds that were really seconds and thirds.

Ms

FAIL

I ate lunch by myself at a local bar. Not a social meal. Then I ate a small dinner at home. The only good thing is that I did not finish the heaping portion of food on my plate. I ate a little more than half, but not by much. I'm happy with that. But so I'm clear, a social meal involves ...

Ms

wow! your post is inspiring. You were so disciplined too. Wonderful. Congratulations!!!

Ms

S-day

I agree Tobia's Mom!!! Even if I eat everything on the plate (that I've noticed have grown in size and the portions are piled on even higher) I am not breaking the rule! But I will try not to "go stupid" and moderate what I eat when going out by limiting myself to half of those portions ...

Ms

You're doing really well!

Ms

S-Day

I was sick!! I got a temporary virus, I guess. I felt dizzy and feverish, broke out in a cold sweat, and my stomach hurt like crazy. Eventually I threw up in my office. I was embarrassed. I drank 3 cans of ginger ale, 2 rows of saltine crackers, 2 bananas, and dinner. After I ate dinner I ...

Ms

SUCCESS

Thank you Tobia's Mom!!!

Yesterday was a success. I didn't even think about food. I was with my mom. She ate and I occupied myself with something else while socializing with her. I must admit that I was not sitting at a table watching her eat. I did not even think about the fact that ...

Ms

FAIL

Yesterday I cleaned house, then I ate two bananas, two kiwi and a bowl of red beans and rice. In addition, I ate a small lunch and dinner with my mom. So that's another fail day. A new week starts tomorrow. I need one month of successful eating so that I'll feel really good about myself when ...

This is THE BEST reasoning against the morning meal that I have seen: http://chestofbooks.com/health/natural-cure/The-Hygienic-System-Orthotrophy/The-Day-s-Heavy-Meal.html

Even in societies where they ate in the morning, it wasn't nearly as much as what we eat for breakfast. In addition ...

Ms

S-Day

I had my lunch at Panera Bread! The soup bowl was yummy, the broccoli cheddar soup was delicious, and the side order of bread was good. I forgot that I had a choice of fruit. Why would they give someone with a bread bowl another piece of bread? Anyway, it was good. I should have got seltzer ...

Ms

Yesterday was a success, just as I called it! So I will call today a success day, and it will be. I am speaking what is to become.

Earlier this morning I saw an email from my boss saying that she had a project for me. I am ashamed to say, I freaked out and ran to food. I spent $3.55 on a ...

Ms

SUCCESS

That's right; although the day is not finished, I am counting it as a successful day because I know that I won't eat anything else. I was taken out to lunch as a break in training. I ate a huge plate of food with a small carrot muffin as an appetizer and a chocolate brownie as dessert. I ...

Ms

FAIL!!

I am so disappointed. Today was my first day at a new job. The department took me out to lunch. That was nice. But then I came home and pigged out. This is so embarrassing. Maybe the shame will put me on the right track! Well, I'll get over it today, and be fabulous tomorrow.

I will not ...

Ms

10.3.2010: FAIL

Ugh! I had two meals. I cook in the mornings, and it's hard for me not to want to eat what I cook immediately after I'm finished. So I ate around noon. I don't know why I ate again around 4 pm though. Oh well. It's over. Mark it and move on. Tomorrow will be a successful day.

Ms

10.2.2010: Exempt

Nakell's baby shower! We had a lot of food and treats. It was fun and all good; tomorrow (today) will be a regular onlyonesingleplatemealafterdark day!

Ms

10.1.2010: Success!

I ate at 5 pm and I had two plates back-to-back, but I count it as a success. I drank Ensure around 1:15 pm (even though I wasn't hungry), as I tried to follow suggestions I saw online about transitioning into this lifestyle, but it left a nasty aftertaste. I'm happy that I did ...

Ms

Yesterday was the first day of the rest of my life!!! I will eat only one single-plate meal after dark per day, or, eat only one meal that fits on one plate per day at night. Exceptions are social situations, such as vacations with others, holidays with family, hanging out with others all day and it ...

Ms

No reason that I can think of. My newest motto is: "Do what makes you feel good." If your body doesn't feel bad after skipping breakfast, then why not? Moreover, you wouldn't be breaking the No-S rules as Reinhard doesn't tell us how many meals to eat, and even if he did, it's YOUR body. You must ...

Ms

Happy Birthday Reinhard!!!

Ms

Okay sooo.... I lasted for 22 hours. I read somewhere that the last 2 hours is the most important time of the 24 hour fasting period. Oh well. I think I did good considering that it was a very last minute decision and I have never, ever tried to fast. I will plan better next time and figure out what ...

Ms

I am thankful for this thread. Today is my first fast day of ESE. Yes, I chose an S-day to start, but I find it easiest to start fasting today since I have no social plans today. So far, so good. I will eat again at 7 pm tonight. I lift weights once/twice per week and I've started doing Pilates ...

Ms

This is also my declaration!!! I'm there with you, mrsj.

Ms

Congratulations!!! I am going to assume by your name that you are female?

I like your post. I was just beating myself up for not exercising but hey, why? I walk 3 city blocks with a briefcase to the train every morning, the same when I return, and 3 city blocks to the office... by the end of the ...

Ms

Oh I can revel in your joy re eating foods you love! I love fruit and veggies and the plainer and less cooked they are, the better (for me), and I have never had a problem with eating them (thanks Mommy!). But, I don't want to eat that alone, nor do I want to feel guilty when I don't eat them all of ...

Ms

I'm IN! I love the title to this thread, and the signature "The best spice is hunger."

Ms

I'm BACK!!! And I'm ready to go full speed ahead. After months of failing, losing weight and then and gaining weight, and trying to tweak No-S (which also lead to the previous mentioned), I am ready to just DO No-S as is, to just trust the process. As Dora the Explorer says, "Vamanos! Let's Go ...

Ms

Congrats! Some weight loss is way better than no weight loss. And you've tackled the most important part of weigh loss: developing habits that lead to weight loss. Your weight loss is something to be proud of. Keep up the good work

Ms

Hi Sinnie,

I love this testimonial. Thanks so much for posting it. I am where you were, re hating to shop for clothes (I used to LOVE it!) and failing at NoS several times. But I will keep at it. Thanks again.

Ms

Thanks!!! I think this article deserves a sticky on the No-S bulletin board. I am going to forward the link to a friend, who's trying No-S.

Ms

Hello,

I've sent in my request. I hope they add No-S to the board. Here's what I said:

Please add the No-S diet to your Diet Review page! It's a sane, sensible system of moderate eating. I have seen results - 1.75 inches lost from my waist and 4.2 pounds lost - since I started in April. While ...

Ms

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I especially like the last part of your post: "I wouldn't trade "speed" for the "sanity, superiority, success, and SATISFACTION" of NoS."

Ms

Oh mimi I am so happy to hear that you're alright! Thanks for the excellent tips.

Ms

Congrats DEB! I look forward to reading more about your progress.

Totally off topic but I once called the fire department because I had put the battery in my smoke detector wrong and it would not stop beeping. It is wired into the ceiling otherwise I would have just run over it with the car ...

Ms

I feel your pain! Your story sounds exactly like mine (minus the anorexia).

First, you are not overly sensitive. Second, you were not wrong to feel hurt & upset. Your feelings are yours, and you don't need anyone to justify them. If they don't agree, so what? You don't always agree with them ...

KCCC and vmsurbat -- Thanks for the advice!!! I find it to be very helpful and useful for me.

Thanks Mimi.

I don't hold grudges. I defend myself and move on. However, knowing that people have good intentions or the fact that they're insensitive stupid jerks doesn't make their comments painless. As the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

As for my paternal ...

Ms

LOL!!! I love this post. Congrats!

Ms

I'm sorry to hear that your friends are rude, disrespectful, and tacky! I don't know why folks think it's okay to say hurtful things about another's weight. My grandmother did that yesterday, and the evil bitch is fatter than me!!! I politely reminded her of that too, by rubbing her back as if I was ...

Thanks for the suggestions KCCC and reneew. I will incorporate them next month

I don't know why you'd ask this, considering that the part you quoted said nothing about being addicted to cold turkey. You can love eating a food and not be addicted to it, you know.

Potato chips ARE addictive. I don't have the all the facts, etc. in front of me right now, but I've read that fast foods, chips, and many typical snack foods have stuff added to them that make them addictive, like drugs, heroin, caffeine, etc. The only difference is that it takes longer for a person ...

I am trying to add the May 2009 calendar. I click the Load button after adding 2 months and May 2009, the change does not stay. The next time I log in, only the April 2009 calendar shows up. Is there a way for me to fix this?

I am so thankful for the posts that include the average daily meals for successful No-S'ers. I started the No-S lifestyle April 6th, and have two failed days.
