Thanks!
I have to say...I've been REALLY struggling lately.
I do so well at breakfast and lunch, then BLOW it at dinner.
Plus I'm starting to get certain disordered eating tendencies that I'm scared of.
I'm going to soldier on tomorrow and do the best I can. Every day is a fresh start.

THUR- 7th March: SUCCESS
Today I'm thinking I need to have lunch a bit later to last through to dinner. That's the pattern I've noticed on successful days. Yesterday was a non-success (can you tell I don't like the word failure hehe) but at least I can examine why.

*At this moment having a tough time resisting snacks/sweets, and there is a pack of Haribos staring at me....so I thought I would log on, verbalise how I'm feeling right now and thinks this through.

Hi!
I'm SkySurfer. i've done NoS in the past with much success, so lord only knows why I went back to other methods of food management.
This is my Day 1, and I'm starting bang in the middle of the week on a wednesday.
I need to get this first day right and the subsequent days will be much easier ...
