Everyday Systems

Not doing so well lately. I will say that I'm eating smaller portions, so maybe that's a victory, but I'm still so drawn by the sweets that I can't cut them out. I guess it wouldn't be wise to do that anyway.

On some N days, I want a sweet so badly after dinner that I cave and turn a perfectly ...

Tiffani, it's nice to see someone here with the same issues and struggles I have. I, too, would love to be 199!

This is my first try with No S. It's strange...I just remembered something my grandfather said once when he noticed he'd put on a few pounds. "I just cut out snacks and dessert, and get ...

Thanks! I haven't been online much since my children are passing this stomach virus around. (Stop sharing, children! lol)

Thurs. - SUCCESS

I've found that if I have only non-sugar sweets on S Days that I do better...I don't get so crazy and ...

The reason I fell off the wagon? I guess because I was attending Weight Watchers meetings at the time and our branch folded due to lack of leadership. Once I wasn't part of a group, I didn't feel accountable to anyone and let bad habits slip back in. That's one reason I love this board and the ...

I am new to No-S, having regained the 50 lbs. I lost last year by totally eliminating sugar. The white stuff is like heroin to me, and I feel I can't trust myself around it.

I realize this is only my first month of forming new habits, so I'll give it some time. I already checked out the sticky ...

Didn't get online over the weekend, so here's a catch-up:

My weekend was a Bacchanalian Blunder...I am posting on another thread about my sugar craziness.

Thanks for the tip...I'll try that.

Yesterday I bombed, so:

Thurs. - FAILURE

Today is OK so far, but boy am I tempted to nosh between meals today. I know it's stress-related because I'm going through some hard stuff lately, but I have to remember that eating is not going to sedate me!!!!

Whew ...

Tues. - SUCCESS

Yay!

I sure do have a hard time waiting for lunch - 12:10 - even though I don't eat breakfast until 9:30 or so. Strange...

Thanks for the comments and support!

Mon. - SUCCESS

It's been difficult the past few days since I've been tempted to eat for emotional reasons. The main thing that keeps me on track is knowing that I'm coming here to post and fill in my HabitCal.

Yay! On to another week along with you...

I would LOVE to weigh 189. I guess that sounds pretty sad coming from a woman.

Interesting to see this topic 'cause I was looking at my bookshelf this weekend and thinking the exact same thing!

I was thinking of donating them to the public library, but maybe I'll follow your lead and throw them out so they won't "poison" anyone else. :)

So long, diets! I'll never miss 'em.

I don't get online on weekends, so here's Friday-Sunday:

Fri. - SUCCESS
Sat. - S Day
Sun. - S Day

I love the program so far. However, I went a bit overboard on rule-breaking on the weekend, I think. Last night I read this from the book, under the section "What Does a Perfect S Day Look Like ...

Thanks, MJ! Something I see happening already is less of a focus on food. When you're dieting, you're always obsessing about what's to eat next, how much you've lost in the last day (ha!) and how long you're going to have to keep it up.

When I tell myself I'm focusing on the habit, not the weight ...

Thurs. - SUCCESS

Yay! Feeling very clean and energetic. It's nice to see everyone else here and know we're all in this together.

Starting to check in today, but actually started the No S Plan on Tuesday.

Tues. - SUCCESS

Wed. - SUCCESS

Last night was extremely difficult. Sweets were calling to me, but I refrained. It was nice for a change to tell myself, "It's not that you can never have them...you just have to wait for ...

The "before" photo isn't showing up. Is anyone else unable to see it?

Thanks for sharing your inspirational story! All the best to you.
