Friday: S-DAY

I'm counting today as an S-Day. My favorite local Thai restaurant is closing its doors and my friends and I went for one last huzzah! The only S I had was a thai iced tea and a few bites of my boyfriend's dessert. I kept my meal to one plate and took the left overs home to enjoy ...

Thursday: SUCCESS!

Thanks, Kevin.

Wednesday: SUCCESS!

I made it! Even with the temptation of popcorn that I got for my friends at the movies. (I work in the building so I get free popcorn, but I didn't eat any tonight.)

Tuesday: SUCCESS!

Also weighed myself today. Still at 166!

(FYI, I am not counting the number after the decimal on my scale. It just discourages me. My weigh-ins won't be 100% accurate, but I prefer to do it this way.)

I had two very nice S-DAYS!

Thanks, Kevin. :) You're right.

I ate dinner twice and some cinnamon candies I brought home from work. So it wasn't so bad! I could have eaten the piece of rum cake and/or the chocolate bar I've been saving for the weekend, but I didn't. Two weeks ago, I would have. So even though I slipped a bit ...

SLIP

I had another bad day. This whole week has been tough for me on many levels. I didn't slip up too badly, but I didn't do well enough to call this a successful day. It's really hard not to turn to food when I'm upset.

SUCCESS!

I had a really bad day today! But I managed to stick to it somehow. I really wanted to comfort eat... Is it an S-Day yet?

SUCCESS!

Phew! Today was hard. I'm definitely hungrier this week than I was last week. Not having a snack mid-afternoon is tough!

SUCCESS!

I weighed myself today... 3 pounds lost?! I have no idea how that happened! I've only been doing this for a week! I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised! Especially after my crazy eating on my S-Days...

My weight has been steadily creeping higher and higher over the past few months ...

SUCCESS!

I am sick today! Blegh! But it's also a good day because I have been here for a whole week already! How time flies...

S-DAY

I did better than yesterday, but my indulgences still seemed a bit too much to me. I'm going to try harder next weekend to enjoy my S-Day treats with more moderation.

I'm actually kind of relieved that tomorrow is a No S-Day!

Yesterday: S-DAY

You know how the No S guidelines say "Don't be an idiot."? Yeeeah.... Yesterday was my first S-Day on this program and I ate myself sick. I was fine all day up until I went to a party and I just lost it... Bleeeh! I will try and do better today!

SUCCESS!

I DID IT!!!

I got through the day no problem. Then I went to a local concert with a friend this evening. There was LOTS of snacks and a huge chocolate cake and cookies and cupcakes. I took a piece of cake and a cookie, wrapped them up, and they are now sitting in my fridge for tomorrow ...

SUCCESS!

I was REALLY hungry today. :shock: I used a small plate at dinner, but it was as full as I could make it. I ate very little at lunchtime and breakfast. I need to balance out my meals better so I'm not so hungry towards dinnertime!

P.S. I eyed the sweets at the bakery today. Usually I ...

SUCCESS!

My boyfriend took me out for dinner, but I only ate enough food to fill a "virtual" plate. I took my left overs home for lunch tomorrow! (I almost never do this.) I had trouble with snack cravings throughout the day, but I got through it by drinking water whenever I craved a snack.

YAY ...

SUCCESS!

Today is my first day! I'm really glad I found the No S Diet. I've been toying with the idea of cutting out sweets during the week and only having them on the weekend, but I like that this takes it two steps further and has a support network.
