Can I vent? Because I really hate this.

I don't understand why it is so difficult to get people to understand that texting and talking on the cellphone and multi-tasking while driving is dangerous. Are we as a ...

I feel very lonely and I want to satisfy this emotion by binging. But I won't.

Loneliness can be a strong emotion. Hang in there. Don't give your emotions power. You control them, they don't control you!

I may have to get this book now that NO S has taken away my fear of eating bread.

I have been curious about a french press. Always wondered what the coffee taste like.

When I eat a good breakfast and lunch I can easily skip dinner.

Often I will eat a little at dinner just to satisfy my husband but it is not much on most days. Maybe 1/3 to 1/2 plate of food. I eat it slowly and chit chat with my husband about how the day went for us.

If I ever had to skip one ...

DAY 2 (12/15/11) SUCCESS






LIE #2 Sugar/Fat/Carbs/Dairy/Wheat/etc made me fat.
TRUTH: I have no allergies to any of the above. I overate most days of my life and that is what has made me fat.

I started yesterday too. Hope you have great success!

It is really quite hard to change your habits and I am definitely in the habit of eating something sweet before bedtime.

My problem time is right after I eat lunch. I never feel satisfied until I've had something sweet. I am planning to have a little coffee, yogurt, or fruit at the end of lunch ...

Yes, it does look like a great product. One Amazon reviewer said it kept her strawberries for two weeks. If it can do that, I'm all for it.

DAY 1 (12/14/11) = SUCCESS

My first day on NO S was great! It has been a long time since I felt the freedom to just eat my meals without worry. I enjoyed every bite of every thing I ate :D The toughest part of the day was after lunch. I always crave something sweet after lunch...not sure why.
I'll ...

This is such common sense - it's great!

It also makes me sad - you have articulated a lot of my own feelings.

Eileen,
I am sorry that you have felt and experienced the same as me. I would not wish that torment on anyone. It did feel like torment for me. But I'm glad you found a small amount of ...

The Pleasures I Gave Up For All the Many Diets I've Tried

A poached egg topped with butter
Crusty, chewy white bread
Coffee with frothy whipped cream
Real ice cream with only 5 ingredients
A bowl of warm oatmeal
One Dove milk chocolate that slowly melts on my tongue
Italian dressing on my tossed ...

I understand this. I have done it many times on other plans. Choosing a controlled detour like the one piece of cake your Grandma loves to make for you and watch you eat is not so bad if it rarely happens. Choosing to change your course completely and eat the whole cake in one day once you get it ...

I cannot believe this year is almost over!
And I am still struggling with dieting :(
But today I made a commitment to follow NO S until the end of next year.
I don't know what I weigh and I don't care anymore.
If I can make it through the next year without gaining weight and having to go up another ...

These are great strategies. I'm just starting today so I don't have any but I like reading about yours.
