Mostly green this last week. But I did have a little slip last night. I have not been feeling well the last few days and that will sometimes wear me out. At least it was a small slip and I went for some watermelon instead of a sweet, but I did have a couple of extra meatballs from supper too. Oh ...

Oolala53, I understand completely what you are saying. It's the guessing game that really gets us.
One thing I know for sure is that each of us is different. Each of our bodies react differently to foods. I have a doctor in Wichita that is a MD and a holistic doctor too. His clinic believes in ...

childoftheking

Thanks for the reminder oolala53.
I am still able to stay greed on N days but my S days are still pretty wild. I have learned to be careful what I bake on the weekends. For example last weekend I made an apple pie. That way there were only a few pieces so I didn't go so far overboard as I would if I ...

Last week was mostly green. I had a slip on Friday when I was making cookies. Oh well, I've been green since march so no big deal u less it becomes a habit.
The only real issue I'm having is my plates must still b too large because I'm not really losing any weight. I haven't weighed since the ...

childoftheking

You are right one moment, one hour, one day at a time. You got this. I know you can do it! Just don't quit!

childoftheking

thank you oolala53. I like watching you and what you are doing. The fact that you have been at this for several years and it has worked for you is inspiring to me.

childoftheking

Christ's child. Although I do like Elvis' music.
Thank you for the laugh this morning!

childoftheking

Well I made it through till the weekend and then that wasn't too bad. This coming week should be all green except one planned event. Thanks for talking me down the other night. I knew I needed to come here instead of eating!

childoftheking

Thank you MerryKat and Jonas for your comments. You are both right. This morning I woke up and said aloud, "I choose Joy"! Whatever happens with the car and the debt, the best thing is that neither of us was hurt! :D This may be a blessing. I will just have to wait and see. I didn't eat last night ...

childoftheking

Ok so tonight is the hardest night so far on no s. I hit a deer on my way home tonight & probably totaled my car. It's not a great car & we own it outright do no full coverage. We have been working so hard to get all our debt paid off and we r so close. Only about 6 more months to go but now we will ...

childoftheking

Well it's Tuesday & I'm just getting here. Last week was green yay & a pretty good s weekend. I am noticing a trend with the weekends & know I need to get them calmer. I'm just glad to only have 2 days like that where I used to have 7! Green yesterday & today & I don't expect any blips this week ...

childoftheking

Go get 'em! I am excited to watch you and your healthy attitude continue to grow. You are an inspiration.

My week last week was green :mrgreen: and my weekend was pretty good on Saturday but Sunday afternoon seems to be when I get a little crazy. I am usually home and not doing much so I tend to graze. But all in all I am very happy with my week.

I am not getting on this site as often and that seems to ...

childoftheking

sleepygirlzzz, thanks for your post. I am back on track after my suspended week and easily back to GREEN. Yay. It really wasn't a bad vacation week. I did a little grazing and had some sweets but not too bad. I also did quite a bit of yard work, walking and other exercise.

I think it has helped me ...

1) Over the weekend our son (only child) graduated from high school (we homeschooled him so I am now out of a job!)
2) I usually have trouble with diets because I get going and it becomes my life. I get so focused and the idea of failing is awful so I just put my head down and keep going until the ...

Good morning! As I say each morning as I wake up "I choose joy"!
:D This is a habit I am trying to get into as I know that joy is a choice. I can either focus on what is bad in my life or what is good. I am choosing to focus on the good.

Thanks for the encouragement NO BS. I can't believe how much ...

Finallyfull, you are an inspiration! I love the way you write. You say the things I am thinking and have trouble saying. For me one of the big differences of this and "dieting" is that I don't think about and plan out food all day long, when counting points calories etc., that seems to take up the ...

5/9 Day 67 Green!
Tomorrow, Friday is a nws day for me. I am excited to be able to eat the things I felt like I was being deprived of this last week. I know I really haven't been deprived and I really haven't felt this way much since I started on No S, but for some reason this week has been the ...

Hey Girls, I have really enjoyed reading your encouragement to each other. It has encouraged me too. :lol:
I think I may have to join you both in your squat challenge. I'm not sure I can do all that but it is certainly an area of my body that needs improvement. Maybe I'll try to find the video on ...

Day 60 NWS Day! I will probably have 3 of these in May but I only had 1 in April so I guess it all evens out.

childoftheking

Thank you all for the wise words! :)

I have to admit that my mind keeps going to the quick fix diets and tell myself I'll maintain with no s. But so far I have been able to remind myself that I am not a crazy woman about food right now. That is because of NoS. Also this is a huge thing for me to ...

Day 51 4/23 GREEN :mrgreen:
The weekend was pretty wild with cookies. I think I have figured out that if I would bake a pie or something like that, I would probably eat 2 pieces each day and that would be less than the dozen cookies I ate over the weekend! HaHa!
I may try that this weekend. When I ...

childoftheking

Should be a green day today. I went to lunch with some friends and thought it may be a nws day, but in the end I shared a burger and fries with my sister so it was even a small plate. No dessert so still in the Green for today. :mrgreen: If I decide to have a dessert or snack this evening with my ...

Day 44

Had a very full plate tonight, rice, chicken, and broccoli with cheese sauce. Yum! I didn't really feel too full or bloated so I think it was ok. I haven't felt really bloated since I started no s. It feels wonderful!

childoftheking

Ha Ha MJ! I got it.
Great job SpiritSong

I am doing well on the green days but I need to add in the exercise. What are you doing?

childoftheking

Fantastic No BS! My goal was to hit 90 days on habit. I think I'll change it to 100 days on habit. You have inspired me!

childoftheking

WooHoo!

childoftheking

Green day today! :mrgreen: This is day 43! Yay! I have been watching some of you and I am inspired to keep going! I can't wait till I hit 90 days. Then I think I will be close to having a habit!

I had a moment where I was offered a chocolate but I declined and so the rest of the day went well ...

childoftheking

Thanks Patty. I am still fairly new to no s and just don't want to be fooling myself that I am doing well and really not.
Yes you are right we can sometimes make unwise choices. I really don't feel bad of sluggish and I didn't feel overfull all day either. I guess I need to listen to my body more ...

childoftheking

Congratulations on 101 days!!!!

You are such an inspiration to us all! I always love reading your posts and the on for 100 days was fantastic! You are a very talented writer, I too could "see" everything you were talking about.

Keep up the wonderful work. 15lbs Is GREAT!

Congratulations Sleepgirlzzz on your 4 green dys!

Here is to 5 next week

I know you can do it!

childoftheking

So today is Saturday and an S Day! I am so happy that this is a no fail day. I am trying to decide if I'm being an idiot or not. Maybe you all can help me decide. I had cereal this morning. This isn't my usual as it really doesn't fill me up for long; I really need protein in the mornings. Then I ...

childoftheking

Congratulations on your green week and most importantly your positive attitude! This kind of attitude is hard to find and especially in young adults as you are.

Congratulations again for your great week!

childoftheking

Headache a little better. Thanks for the prayers! I resisted the chocolate and now it's a S DAY! Yay i can have it if I really want it with NO GUILT! WooHoo! :lol:
I was able to keep yesterday Green :mrgreen: and didn't use a planned non weekend S day. Which is great because now I have it for later ...

childoftheking

Thank for the well wishes for my headache. It's still here today but was better earlier n the day.
Another green day! Still wanting sweets but ill wait till at least tomorrow. It may be a planned non weekday s day. My parents r back from Texas & I haven't seen them since January!!

childoftheking

Bad headache today. My usual would be to go find something sweet especailly chocolate. I know that doesn't really make me feel better but that has been my habit and it usually only makes me feel guilty on top of the pain. Now that I am doing No S, I will not do that! I am determined to stay in the ...

Yay! My weekend was pretty good only a few moments of idiocy. I know I probably need to limit the sweets on weekends but right now I'm very happy with my consistent green N days and don't want to mess that up by restricting my S days too much.
Thank you all for the encouraging ...

childoftheking

I don't know if No-S will lead to weight loss for me, but I do know it will lead to sanity. If nothing else, it will stop the yo-yo and the crazy and the self-loathing (hopefully) and that's worth a lot in my book.

ok so I don't know how to do the quote thing so I'll just use another color ...

childoftheking

I'm glad u r back. I'm new to no s only a little over a month into it. So far I'm loving the sanity although today I was talking w/ a friend & started thinking maybe I should check out something else to lose faster them maintain w/ no s. I really don't want that craziness, but I wld like to look ...

Thanks Sweetness and KL. Yes it is success and it is success without being a crazy woman like I have been in the past! Thanks for reminding me. I did finally find my starting weight and I am only down 1.6lbs but I am still thinking of that as success. Frankly, if I had been weighing myself each ...

childoftheking

Ok so here is where all my talk (typing) comes into question. I weighed myself this morning and I am down 2lbs. :| I am very happy for the 2 (may only be a lb and a half as I am not exactly sure of my starting weight), but as you know I really wanted to lose 4 lbs. So now I'm a little disappointed ...

31 days :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:! I am so excited! I will weigh myself tomorrow morning. I really wanted to do it today but I said I would not do it till the 4th so I'll wait. I don't know if I have lost but I know I feel better! I am hoping for a 4 lb loss but as long as I didn't gain, I will ...

childoftheking

milczar, I have been reading over some of your posts. I am impressed with your weight loss! 50 lbs is nothing to sneeze at! Congratulations. I'm curious, I know I would not be able to take the highs and lows of weighting every day. How have you been able to overcome that?

childoftheking

Happy Easter! :D
Day 26 (friday was a planned S event) so Yay!
Day 27 was Saturday S Day and today is Sunday another S!
Friday went well just ate the salad and soup that came before our meal and then a little chocolate after dinner.
Yesterday I really wasn't too much of an idiot until the end then ...

childoftheking

Day 25 GREEN! Yay. It was harder today because after a meeting tonight everyone went to a McDonalds for drinks, ice cream and snacks. Usually i would get ice cream but tonight I just had water. Worked pretty well but there was a moment when they set the fresh hot french fries in front of me that I ...

childoftheking

Thanks all for the encouragement and kind words about making it 21 days.
Day 22 & 23 were both GREEN days. Yay. I am starting to get this habit. I know I will have to keep my eyes glued to it to stay on track. I havent weighed yet, I'm waiting for April 4th so it is a month after I started. I don't ...

childoftheking

I did it! 21 days n a row!! Of course the last 3 were easy as Friday was a planned s day & then it was Saturday & Sunday.
I'm not going to weigh till April 4th as that is one month. One of the best things abt no s is I don't even have to tell anyone I'm doing it.

childoftheking

Welcome Shortformyweight. Go for it! I once heard someone say they it is better to" waste it than waist it". Don't think of all the goodies you are not going to eat at work as going to waste but improving you waist. Often if I am hungry, I just think "that is great, I'm losing weight right now!"
I ...

Thanks for the encouragement Sleepygirl! We can do this!

Well my weekend was not terrible, but not really great either. I did well on Saturday with not too much extra, but on Sunday after church I really ate too much of the wrong things.
I usually don't cook on Sunday's and we had the leftovers on Saturday night so I didn't have anything to just grab and ...

Thanks so much No BS and Sweetness! I really appreciate all your advice. Have a great weekend!

It is 4:11 in the afternoon on Friday and I REALLY want chocoolate. The only things keeping me from getting it are 1) Tomorrow is SATURDAY. I only have to wait like 16 hours. and 2) I don't want to end my 21 day challenge and have to start over. I'm on day 12 and that is just too far in for me to ...

childoftheking

No BS, I read your Feb 7th post and I just got to say YOU ROCK! I want that too! I know if I keep working on the habit, I can get there with you.

childoftheking

Zip, I read your comment about shopping with your daughter. I want you to know that you are not alone in those feelings. Last year I went through an exercise that helped me a lot. I wrote down all the lies I tell myself on a regular basis and then I found scriptures that told me the TRUTH. I put ...

childoftheking

Thanks Sweetness for your suggestions. :) That really helps. So far this has not been too hard. I have longed for the Girl Scout cookies a couple of times, but I just keep telling myself I can have them on Saturday if I still want them.
I am trying to be intentional about what I am fixing for supper ...

childoftheking

Thanks Over43. Any suggestions on "plating" soup/chili or things like fries & or items in seperate dishes?

childoftheking

Good day today except I am really starting to notice how much Iâ€™m eating on my plates. Sometimes it is hard to judge how much i am going to need until the next meal. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have the hardest time with things like chili in a bowl or things that naturally stack.
Also I ...

childoftheking

Thank you so much for asking. So far really great. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. I still think about food more than I would like. I would like to get to where I am only thinking about food for meal planning and things like that.
I promised myself I would only weigh once a month so I really ...

childoftheking

Zippadee,
Congratualtions! You Did It! Keep up the great work.

childoftheking

Happy Birthday! I believe the best gift you can give yourself this year is sanity when it comes to food! You can do it! Just focus on one day at a time.

I'm new to this system and am impressed with your ups and downs. You always get back up! I think that is the key to everything.
Congratulations on your commitment to no s!

well I made it through my first s weekend and got right back on track for my 1st n day of the week. I knew I could do it but I wondered if after having eaten sweets if I would be "hooked" and not be able to resist on Monday. Not too bad of a day. No slips.

I made it through the afternoon (very ...

Yesterday my 2nd s day was pretty good. I'm learning what I should and should not have in the house. I will say the chocolate tasted great with no guilt (well maybe a little guilt, I'm still learning)

Today I am learning what not to eat at a fast food place for lunch. I had a salad, I didn't finish ...

childoftheking

Yesterday was my first no s day. I think it went pretty well. I didn't deny myself what I wanted but I made sure it was really what I wanted before I ate it. We were not home much so that helped.
I am looking forward to being able to eat like this and lose weight at the same time!

Today we will be ...

childoftheking

Sleepygirl,
I've only been doing this a week so I can't really offer any guidence, only encouragement. Since you have already done no s for 3ish weeks, you can do it again. Maybe if you think of your slip up as something in the past and stop beating yourself up, you can just go forward from here.

I had a few temptations this week but it really wasn't too hard. I am determened to make it the 21 days!
