Hey! Have hope because as long as you get back on the wagon, it will all be fine and a few red days won't undo everything you've done. Besides, your health is the main focus and... just start a new thread if you need to! I was thinking about the same thing, but more like a fresh slate. I'm not sure ...

Woke up at 10:30 today. It felt good to wake up somewhat on time for once. I hit the snooze button twice. My reasoning was: "Only long enough for the room to get warm from the heater". Tomorrow I am going to set the clock earlier and try to wake up then. Still working to getting to 10 in the morning ...

I think if it's enough, but not too much to constitute as a meal and it's not considered a sweet, then I'd say it was fine. I drink chocolate milk (carnation nutrient packs) with some dinners... so I'd say it was okay.

hilly6000

I'm still doing well. I am very focused (or maybe my success is NOT being focused). I haven't been writing anything down... although my perfectionist side of me WANTS me to. I know once I write things down and try to be professional about this I will mess up. That's how I am. The days have been ...

I did this for last month's but it didn't work out as I wasn't focused on no-s and another slew of excuses. I'm doing two meals a day, 1 plate. I don't have snacks, sweets, or seconds.

My goals are:
1.) To stick to my plan, which is two meals a day
2.) To get to bed around 12, and wake up around 10 ...

Welcome! Don't feel bad about not getting a lot of welcomes so quickly. Our board is a tad slower because things are more relaxed around here... or that is my excuse!! I usually check in in the evening. About the beer question, I'm not sure because I don't drink... but if it said "two drinks", then ...

hilly6000

Mmm. That really makes me want some hot chocolate with some whipped cream (real cream) on top.

hilly6000

I have been sticking to my little routine as much as I can. I have been doing better with the eating than with the sleeping, but I have been doing decently with both.

I have been waking up at 10/11 lately. Usually 10:30. I keep hitting that snooze button 3-4 times just to be warm in my bed. I know ...

10 pounds is awesome! This is the hardest time to lose weight, so that is quite an accomplishment!

I light incense and breathe in the smell when I am feeling bad. Breathing in a good smell really calms me down. You can also do this with a candle. And even though it's odd, I sometimes crochet to calm myself down. As a person who worries myself sick, crocheting time is my sacred time... as the ...

This is the most sensible plan I've ever read about (no-s), which is why I still am trying to stick to it in a way that makes me comfortable (my version). I wasn't on it on Thanksgiving, but I will be for Christmas... I'm not scared of holidays like I used to be... now I know that I can deal with ...

hilly6000

I haven't been posting on here very much. I'm usually a person who will say and not do... so I have been working on something that I can actually stick to and has worked, until for some reason, usually sleep, it has messed me up. So lately I have been working on getting a routine with sleep, and ...

hilly6000

I'd say start now, because you're gonna have to deal with Thanksgiving and Christmas next year, too. Use this as practice for the holidays coming up. You don't have to be perfect. This diet is based on moderation, not deprivation... so you can still enjoy your day on the holiday. I am thinking I ...

More than anything, last night I wanted to get some icecream at the end of the day. I wasn't hungry, per se, but I wasn't full either. Well, I waited and waited, and at the last moment I had to remind myself that it was this time that I was gonna do it right... so I didn't. I'm glad I didn't. I hope ...

hilly6000

Not post less, per se, but posting my personal achievements rather than specifics about each day. That was really just a declaration, after being frustrated with myself.

So yesterday was my S day. It went decently well. I ate less at the Chinese restaurant, and felt satisfied and full, but I didn't ...

hilly6000

No, no, no. My goal is to wake up at 8 in the morning, and get to bed before 11 or 12 in the late evening. I've never had a sleeping schedule and I'm usually an all-nighter. So I would get about 8 or more hours, depending on how early I got to bed. I think I would be the biggest you-know-what if I ...

LONG RANT:

as a kid i ate my feelings and no one taught me better. as a preteen i become self conscious and naturally decreased my intake. as a teenager i armed myself with knowledge and began to lose a substantial amount of weight. as a young adult i abused this information, obsessed, worried, and ...

hilly6000

Well, the main thing you're wanting to know is: Will you lose weight TECHNICALLY following the rules? Well... you can always follow the no-s diet the way you envision it, and see if you lose weight. If you don't, then you might have to limit the slices and the icecream. Sure, have it, but limit it ...

hilly6000

I obviously cannot be trusted to use my common sense, and go willy nilly everywhere. I trusted it, then allowed myself to eat cake and french fries. My stomach was uncomfortably full. Mind you, this is MUCH better than other days I've had (saintly even). So, I'm keeping a food journal marking the ...

hilly6000

You can do it! Day 21 coming up!

hilly6000

Also, losing weight TOO QUICKLY makes your body not look as nice... since the skin doesn't have time to adjust. BUT, going slow, you're going to look better... AND your body isn't going to feel it needs to go back to the way it used to be (it's set point).

You can't maintain counting things forever ...

hilly6000

Don't feel bad about writing your thoughts! Your worries are your worries, and no-S is about dealing with things, food and OTHERWISE. And your life ties into your other aspects of your life.

I'm sorry about your friend... in a way, though... it could help to motivate you to keep up the good changes ...

hilly6000

You're making awesome successes and establishing that YOU CAN DO IT, regardless of the situations. That's IMPORTANT! Enjoy those times you get to go out and try not to dread them... it's important to enjoy life to the max, but enjoy food moderately... WHICH YOU DID!

Keep it up!

hilly6000

In my own experience, life goes on regardless of the diet you're on. It's better in the long run to learn moderation and learn to trust yourself, than to drive yourself crazy with points and numbers... especially around the holidays. I blogged something last night that goes with this. I'll copy and ...

Day c1: FAILED

Uggh... Well, let's get my sleep fixed first, then try agan. Sleep is more important... I failed today because I was just awake too long. I didn't eat very much, which is another helpful thing about this way of eating, but it wasn't a success. We really need to get that cake into ...

hilly6000

I see you're doing some tweaking over there. Hope you're not too stressed out... whereas I'm just ignoring everything right now. I know it will work out... but it takes time. UGH! I feel your pain over there. Keep it up!

hilly6000

Day b1: FAILED

Why did I fail? It was my choice. I drank juice for breakfast. I was definitely hungry waiting for lunch, but lunch fixed that when it happened. Later on, I cooked dinner, and MAN did it fill me up. But I think there are two points of fullness with me 1) When my stomach fills up the ...

hilly6000

The human body is a creature of habit, so don't stress about being a little hungry between meals. The important thing is to stick to it until it feels comfortable. A little diffcult, but well worth it.

Day 7: FAILED

Today I had Chile's, but I took that huge meal and spaced it over the day. It wasn't to No-s guidelines, but I feel proud for not going crazy and eating everything in sight like I usually would.

Hummm... let's see. Why I failed? I don't know. I've been thinking about whether I ...

Day 5: S DAY

Day 6: S DAY

Can't begin to explain what I ate these two days. I took friday as my s day in place of sunday, so I have to be good tomorrow! Happy Halloween!

hilly6000

I was simply curious. I'm trying to look into it, and wondered if you ate two meals. I used to count calories... you couldn't get me to stop lol, but I just went to too many places I couldn't figure it out, so I stopped. But regardless. Do you know the exact science as to why you have to lose more ...

hilly6000

From what I read, do you eat two meals a day or three? I only assumed out of context... not sure which post lead me to this conclusion. I've been looking into two meals a day information, but haven't directly decided on it. Other than that, I've read all your posts and want you to know to keep it up ...

I said no to: Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream

How did I do it? I still don't know. I was VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY CLOSE to eating it... and I was thinking, "Well, I can adapt the plan... or I can mark today as a failure... it's almost the weekend".

But then I just thought, "Well, when are you ...

Something I'm in the mood for recently -- sweet potato french fries. Those turnips things DO sound good. I have been trying to open a can of veggies for dinner, but it's not going so well lol

I'm really liking this forum because the people are so nice and helpful... and mostly everyone appears... happy! I used to be on 3fc forums (3 fat chicks). They were helpful... but it often irritated me because so many people (usually women) were so specific, and even just obsessive about how things ...

I second the tasty soups bit! I have some roast chunks simmering away in a pot of water right now. It's my first soup, so I'm hoping for the best. But I REALLY love the smell. I wonder if I can add more water to it, as most of it evaporated. Oh well. Another 50 minutes until I can add all the other ...

I also want to know... I ate a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of milk, as I knew that oatmeal wasn't going to be very filling. It's okay to drink your milk/juice WITH your meal? I counted that as one meal.

I think so :shock: I mean, I don't put my milk on my plate when I eat dinner :lol: And ...

I do think that should be put SOMEWHERE, simply because I didn't know about the juice or milk thing.

I understand how you must feel. I starved off 90 pounds a few years back, gained it all back plus more, and created a new diet plan and broke it off everyday for years until I gave up. I let myself do whatever with food for awhile, but always in the back of my head I knew that I would do something ...

hilly6000

Thank you VERY much. That makes sense. I was thinking it was no-s modified, which is probably a bad misinterpretation.

But it makes me wonder how many people do a modified version?

hilly6000

I'm sorry. I don't understand WHERE to find this information, and I'm sure it's answered somewhere, but what exactly is "vanilla no-s"?

hilly6000

Hi, I'm new to all this. I've had temporary success with my weight (90 pounds lost for a few months)... but it was done the wrong way. I want to do it the right way... but I have a few questions. I AGREE with EVERYTHING that is said... but that isn't necessarily what goes through my own head. I KNOW ...
