Everyday Systems

I started No S at the beginning of May. The first three weeks I had a fail every Monday. This week is the first week I've not had a fail on a Monday and I've done 9 days in a row (including S days) without a fail :D

I'm even finding that on weekends I'm not going mad or bingeing. Even though I know ...

There's been three times in the past two weeks when there have been cakes/cookies in team meetings and supervision. The first time I felt like I was making an effort to not take one. The second time I felt really good about myself for not having one.

The third time (today) I saw them and thought 'I ...

Thanks Reinhard :D

I was seriously underestimating how far I was walking. I'm really lucky that I live on the edge of a large town so I have woodland, river and fields just five minutes walk away. Plus the streets where I live are safe so I can walk anytime (one of my dogs is quite scary looking ...

I've been keeping a track of my walking using http://www.walkjogrun.net/
and in 7 days I walked 13 miles with my two dogs. Today I walked just over 3 miles and burned over 400 calories. You can time yourself and put it in with the distance you walked and it figures out how fast your average speed ...

*snicker*

So you could save money on food AND energy bills

I made a decision that being hungry sometimes wasn't as bad as counting grams of protein, carbs, or whatever. Hunger really isn't the worst thing in the world.

I also found that when I get hungry seems to have more to do with how bored or stressed I am than with what I've been eating. Eating to ...

I just have no control when it comes to the weekends.

I'm going to qualify what I'm about to say with the information that I am an alcohol counsellor and work with people who are heavily addicted/dependant on alcohol and other drugs. I am not saying I think you're an addict or are dependant on ...

Just had a look on the website and it says there is 4.4g per 100g of 'sugars' in the Asda ownbrand 'wheat bisks'. I don't know if that means actual sugar? The labels can be really misleading.

I have been enjoying a zero fat yoghurt and a cinnamon bagel for breakfast recently. I have the yoghurt ...

I'm very new too to No S, but I'm thinking this week that I will start my S days on a Friday evening and carry it through to Sunday lunchtime.

I have also decided to add in an afternoon 'snack' at about 4pm only on days when I am at work or university. The snack will be either fresh fruit, nuts or ...

I started No S last week and did 5 days straight with no snacking. But I find that between lunch and dinner I get hungry if I'm at work - to the point where my hands are shaking and my legs feel wobbly. So I'm having to snack, although it's always on something healthy like fresh fruit or nuts. I don ...

My dog. Walking has always been my favorite form of exercise, but I'm lazy. The dog gets me moving.

Yep, definately my dogs get me walking. At least once a day for an hour and sometimes twice a day (depending on my work schedule). I love to get out really really early before anyone else is up and ...

I thought I was being really healthy by having Weetabix for breakfast with a chopped banana. But then I read on a different thread about the sugar content in cereal so I had a look on the box. Sugar is the second ingredient on the list!!!!!!

I eat porridge every day in the winter with brown sugar ...

All the time, at least once a day.

@oolala53 Thanks for that I totally agree. I'm a Buddhist so I very much like the concept of 'letting go'.

I've had two failure days this week though because I ate a biscuit on Monday then today I was at college until late so had to snack as I was going shaky from low blood sugar. But I snacked on ...

Nope, not pulling tightly and not breathing in either

I'm super new to the forum and to the No S Diet. I've been following it for 10 days now and have found it so easy to follow - I mean the concept is so simple.

As I don't have any scales I decided to measure my waist and hips instead. So, my waits measured 34.5 inches on the day I started doing No S ...
