As a returning newbie hoping to succeed this time, this is really heartening to read. Thank you and happy new year

Nell1223

Thanks Auto

Nell1223

Automatedeating- glad to help, hope you enjoy it

Nell1223

That’s interesting automatedeating. I’ll keep an eye out.

Saturday was my first S day. It felt quite strange as I realise how much I normally am constantly monitoring what I eat: is it healthy? Is it too carby? Is it going to set my GORD off? Etc etc I was wondering if I’d go a bit mad with my ...

Nell1223

Thanks for replying teamoney and automatedeating - I like what you both say.

I started on Thursday 23rd January, all I did was keep to my usual food and had my meals at the usual times. I decided I’d make a start by cutting the nightly dark chocolate out.

Breakfast was oats, berries, seeds and ...

Nell1223

Hi all
I’m a returnee from about 3 years ago. I’m also from Uk, 5Ft 7 and 185lb and I’m 68 - getting on! so it’s about time I got my bad eating habits and weight sorted out. I’m sick of diets and non-diets. I’m sick of reading about the latest holy grail of eating- I’ve tried them all, despite all ...

Nell1223

Hi I’m back after what must be a 3 or 4 year gap. I don’t know why I left - maybe I thought the grass was greener in the land of other diets, maybe life’s events got in the way.

Why have I come back? I’m sick of diets and non-diets. I’m sick of reading about the latest holy grail of eating- I’ve ...

Nell1223

Thanks Rawcookie for keeping me on track, and thanks Oolala for the kick up the bum - you're absolutely right and I need to reminded of this sometimes.
I've always been greedy/ enjoyed my food, and my weight has gone up and down in the past 30 years or so, although only by about 35ib maximum either ...

Nell1223

Hi, Merry. Thanks for replying You're absolutely right!! I think when I get like this I can't see "the wood for the trees" as we say in the uk. I do need to give myself a break and just coast - I've got where just thinking about diets or looking at diet books makes me want to run for the hills ...

Nell1223

I've been a bit all over the place with my eating recently - I did 4 months of No S, but a few weeks ago I was floundering: no weight loss and urges to eat cakes on S and No S days. So I looked up intuitive eating and no diet diets etc and thought I'd have a go at them - i caught myself out from day ...

Nell1223

Ive gone through various mini angst periods and have pulled myself through them, and three months on I'm still doing vanilla NoS so I must be doing something good. I've not lost any weight that you could speak of NOR have I gained anything!!😀😀
I notice I'm turning a corner with my eating - cutting ...

Nell1223

3 months on and I'm still here. No weight loss to speak of but I've kept going with vanilla No S with no weight gain in this time.

Nell1223

Good idea! Whatsonfirst, I'll try to give a picture of what I eat: on an average No S day breakfast is uncooked oats or muesli, no sugar, dried fruit - apricot, figs , maybe some blueberries and raspberries, plain Greek yogurt and milk, 2 coffees. Or I'll have toast and poached egg. Lunch 3/4 ...

Nell1223

Thanks all of you for wise replies. Sometimes you can't see "the wood for the trees" as we say in the uk - do they say this in USA too? You need people to help you get into focus. Yes I should cutdown my quantities and up the exercise - like getting out on my bike now we've got some summer here ...

Nell1223

I've been posting on this board a few times recently as I'm struggling as three months in I've not really lost any weight I've learnt that I was going through an extinction burst and I know that I need to keep to the rules of No S to hopefully, sort out my disordered eating and I know this is ...

Nell1223

Still here and still doing No S - I've not been on here for a week or so - just been busy doing stuff - not sure what that stuff is though.

very hot and humid here in the uk

Nell1223

Thanks for all your replies. I didn't know about the "extinct burst" but YES that's sounds like what's happening with me !! 😀
Today I've started back with vanilla No S and I'm going to do another 21 day challenge.

The funeral went well although my uncle whose sister it was for, was very upset as ...

Nell1223

Hi I've done over two months of vanilla No S diet - and apart from a couple of minor blips, I've been doing well, until this week when I've suddenly got this rebellious streak that's popped up. Almost like I'm saying - "no one is going to tell me what I'll eat, and I'll eat what I want" !!! I ate ...

Nell1223

I follow the 2 glasses maximum per day rule and although like Reinhard, I push againsft that ceiling sometimes I find it works for me. I really look forward to and enjoy my daily glass of wine or 2 at about 9pm when I sit down and relax in front of the tv

Nell1223

I'm going to try this. I just need some help with what and how to do it. [quote=

I started 27th April so I'm two months in.

Nell1223

It's been a slightly tricky few days - I've had a 3 day headache that I feel nauseous with - I'm sure it's because I'm stressed and upset by the result of the EU referendum in the UK and the resulting political situation !! 😩😩
Then I made the mistake of weighing myself and i was the same as I ...

Nell1223

Thanks Merry, you're right, I think that's what I'll do

Nell1223

Hi everyone. I'm still doing vanilla No S. I think it's two months now!! 😀😀

A Slight blip today, as we went out for lunch with some friends back from 2 months in their holiday home in Malta and everyone ordered a sweet...... And so did I ...... Why?

Oh well, I'll move on - tomorrow's another day ...

Nell1223

You can lose weight by doing 20 squats before using the toilet? Have fun and don't hurt yourself.

I had a friend at school who danced around her bedroom every night wearing plastic pantaloons and and plastic blouse in the hope that she'd work up a sweat and lose weight .... She never did lose ...

Nell1223

Hi Still here and still doing my No S vanilla - it must be 2 months at a quick calculation.
We've had 3 lots of visitors staying in 7 days including my sister over from Spain to see mum in her nursing home - so I was spending quite a bit of time with her last week. Also, sadly, my aunt 89 died last ...

Nell1223

What's your challenge to keeping to your no s diet?
For me it's doing things that are out of my usual routine (what a sad person I am?) I find if I'm out of my normal routine my eating can go a bit (or a lot) haywire. One of my worst challenges is when we visit my sister in law and brother in law ...

Nell1223

good days

Nell1223

All good 😀😀
I've not been on here for a few days as I'm changing my iPhone and iPad so I've been "off the air" while I'm doing the changeover

No s is going well. - it's probably partly why I've not been on here checking in as it's just becoming the way I eat.
Yesterday we went to a 21st birthday ...

Nell1223

Another good day.

Thanks Rawcookie it's true you do start questioning whether you need all these props - chocolate, ice cream etc but I wouldn't live without them entirely

Nell1223

I'm also a failed weightwatcher - a three maybe 4 or 5 times failure and I've also got an Masters and a teaching qualification. I realised that diets don't work a few years ago but every now and then I think to myself "right, I've got to get this weight off me" and go and sign up for WW or some ...

Nell1223

Saturday and Sunday S days - all fine tea and cake on Saturday but I didn't feel bad or guilty about it or feel that I'd then got to go on a binge cause I'd blown it.
Yday again fine, I had some chocolate while watching tv and enjoyed the taste of it more so than I did so pre no s days.

No S ...

Nell1223

Hi I've been away in the motorhome for 3 days in the Cotswolds -it's a beautiful part of England. I kept to my No S 😀😀
Tonight good but we had steak and salad for dinner and I took a 2nd helping of salad then remembered halfway through eating it that this isn't what I do anymore ...... I must ...

Nell1223

Yesterday was an S day and I had my favourite dark chocolate with hazelnuts after dinner - that was all
Today Monday good . I'm looking forward to a glass of red wine later - I allow myself one maximum 2 a night

Nell1223

I missed checking in Friday and Saturday
Still doing good 😀😀 it's almost a month and I'm feeling like No S is becoming a habit, eg friday night my hubby offered my chocolate - which I used to eat every night but I've decided is only for S days and, tempting as it is, I refused it - easy! I can look ...

Nell1223

Thanks for your replies - food for thought ....

Nell1223

Hi everyone I'm looking for advice etc. I've done 21 days - it's the longest I've kept to any kind of diet or plan (except when I did weightwatcher and lost 30lbs and then puts it back on in 6 months!)
I'm just wondering what to do next - I'm continuing with vanilla no No S - I'm feeling happy and ...

Nell1223

Hi still here - I've been away on a three day course. -delicious meals were included, home cooked and healthy. I kept to my 3 meals and no snacks, or seconds but NOT to the no sweets, as delicious homemade cakes after lunch were included and it would have been difficult to refuse.

I'm home now and ...

Nell1223

S day today
My birthday too. Good day!!

. None of this

Nell1223

Definitely ouch, Rawcookie especially when the needles went in for the local anaesthetic, I definitely need treats. - I'm saving them for my birthday tomorrow when we're going out for a meal.

Day 18 and I'm almost at the end of 21 day challenge and I've kept to it!! Yeah😀😀
I've not kept to any ...

Nell1223

A bit haywire - I haven't had 3 meals today as I've spent all day at the hospital having an infected sebaceous cyst cut out. But I'm keeping to my no S plan as much as I can

Nell1223

good again

Nell1223

good [/colour]

Nell1223

Good day good day [color]

Nell1223

Very true Jackn. 😀 That's why us Brits always talk about the weather 😀

Another green day - almost 2 weeks in and I'm doing fine - although feeling fat and frustrated with being fat - but I know if I embark on a diet it won't last more than a few days anyway, so it's telling myself to hang on in ...

Nell1223

Another ok S day yesterday

Another sunny day in the UK too

Nell1223

Yesterday an s day and a family get together and one of our first sunny days in the uk. I ate too much - snacking on crisps, ate dessert with cream, BUT I didn't have seconds - all my meal on one plate and left some of it as I decided that I'd got too much meat.

Nell1223

Green day again.
Today weve family here and we're doing a BBQ - it an s day - hope I'll be ok

Nell1223

Day 10 and good.
It was our 10th wedding anniversary and I was going to treat it as a special day so I could have a sweet (desserts here in uk) but after eating our steak dinner I didn't fancy any sweets - so I treated it as normal noS day.
Not far off day 21

Nell1223

Thanks for the great advice everyone. My instinct is to say nothing and follow the principle of "The less said the better" I don't want to be part of the big community of peroetual dieters who talk about their weight food gains losses all the time. I want to just get on with my life with food in its ...

Nell1223

Day 9 and all good

Nell1223

Hi everyone. I've just completed my first week of No S'ing!! I'm wondering what to say when people ask me what I'm doing as I refuse snack, sweets or seconds and then confuse them by having them (sometimes a) on S days. My husband says nothing - he has been 5:2'ing for about 2 years and has seen me ...

Nell1223

It's my 8th day today !!! This is longer than I've stuck with the many diets and healthy eating plans I've tried in the past year or so :D :D

Yesterday all fine,
Today I'm going to see my mum and have got my eating planned out - I'm going to gets nice tasty sandwich and a good strong flat white ...

Nell1223

Hi All
Sunday was an S day and did OK: cake at my brothers house - it tasted too sweet
Then roast dinner at my step daughters- apple strudel and cream for dessert then 2 wines and chocolate to follow ........ Not good, not too bad.....

I made up for it today as I was out all day and kept to No S ...

Nell1223

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice - I'm taking them all in and thinking about it. rawcookie I'm in Derbyshire. Cornwall is a beautiful place to live.
I'm 5 days in and really enjoying it - l know it's early days but I feel I positive and liberated from the tyranny and mind numbing ...

Nell1223

Thanks rawcookie 😊
Yesterday was a S day and I had crisps and chocolate with 2 glasses of wine - didn't feel guilty or like I was going to go and eat more. I know how I can eat/ gobble crisps down - they're addictive to me

Today we've got Sunday dinner with my step daughter and family - it's an S ...

Nell1223

Day three and all good.
Usual breakfast although cutting down on dried fruits like apricots and prunes
Lunch soups and toast and cheese
Dinner pasta and salmon and veg
No s at all!!
2 wines and stopped at that

Nell1223

Day two's eating: breakfast oatmeal, berries, seeds and yoghurt and milk. - my dad would have called this bird food!
Lunch - went a bit haywire as we got a desperate call from my sister in law who lost her husband a few years ago telling us she was in a bad way, shape we went to see her and lunch ...

Nell1223

Day two today.
Yesterday I ate my usual breakfast of oatmeal yoghurt, fruit and seeds, lunch homemade leek and potatoes soup with 2 small slices of bread and cheese
Evening meal a 3 egg omelette with mushrooms and roux cheese and a load of veg No chocolate!! No snacks, no seconds

Nell1223

Hi Skelton, nice to hear from you I know what you mean about not being able to switch off the diet/ healthy eating mentality - I want to be free of it it but it's so ingrained in me that it's hard to be any other way.

At the crates!!

Nell1223

I've been reading and thinking about how I eat, what I eat, when I eat and and why I eat what I do. My eating is so disordered that I don't really know what's me and what I've learnt along the way through diets and healthy eating regimes.

What is me now is that I don't really snack much but I do ...

Nell1223

Hi everyone
Today I start my 3 week challenge. That's what I've decided I'll do.

I've been reading and thinking about how I eat, what I eat, when I eat and and why I eat what I do. My eating is so disordered that I don't really know what's me and what I've learnt along the way through diets and ...

Nell1223

Yep I'm starting Wednesday 27th April 2016 uk time. I'm still reading a psyching myself up ready for tomorrow No S diet

Wow, I didn't expect to get these replies with such good advice and to be made welcome. Thanks

I'm off to read up on that no s and I'm going to spend some time going through the stickies like you said *Oohlala*

Nell1223

Hi all,I've been skirting round the edges of No S for a few months. Ive tried loads of different diets/ healthy eating plans over 20 years or so - losing then gaining. I've done weight watchers, 5:2 intuitive eating, Paul McKenna etc. I'm so embarrassed about my diet book stash that I've hidden them ...
