Hello I have been doing the No S for a few weeks now but not at 100%, more like 90%. My grown up son is also doing the No S diet but at 100% and he said its easier to do at 100% as there is no room to think about changing the rules, you just do it properly all the time.

I work in an office where we have a lot of snacks and it seems wrong, almost rude not to join in especially as sometimes they raise money for charity but as my son said I should just contribute but politely say 'no thank you' to the food.

I think the No S is the key as it is so simple, when I think it is easy it catches me out by being so difficult! I know it's not going to be a quick fix.

I understand the beauty of it is that it does actually get easier over time, this is something I am really looking forward to witnessing.

I plan to have fruit and/or veg with every meal (3 meals a day) on my No S days then on my S days I am going to eat what I want when I want with only one rule and that's eat nothing after my evening meal.

I am going for a 20 day streak.

Wish me luck!

You're off to a good start!

Having fruit and/or veggies with meals definitely helps.

Oh dear, cakes at work called me today, maybe I could make today my S day instead of tomorrow ?

Decided to draw a line under it, day 1 today!

clarinetgal · Post by **clarinetgal** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 5:56 am

Yep! Just mark it and move on.

Thanks, yes move on with new rule. NoS days are just that but S days are anything anytime. Other plan is not to walk past cakes at work, I am able to avoid this so I think it will help. Also started a 90 day streak!
Wish me luck x

Day 1 today, 1st June 2014

I often use the "avert my eyes" technique to avoid looking at and thinking about treats at work. I've used this avoidance method for many months, and highly recommend it. So I like your idea of finding a different route around the sweets!

Thanks, hope it lasts! Started thinking about my Saturday treat already, hopefully treats can be avoided until Saturday!

Thanks 90-5 =85 still looking forward to my chocolate bar, hope it tastes a nice I think it will!

Made the week without chocolate and today it is allowed! I am planning what chocolate to have and when to have it. I am looking forward to it but I want the experience to be so good it lasts in my memory until next weekend!

Well my weekend rules are there are no rules but I will practice mindfully eating because that is what I do now.

90-7 = 83 today and 90-8 = 82 tomorrow, I could in double figures by Monday

LOL, I've never heard anyone put it this way!

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what these numbers mean.

Hi, I am on a countdown of 90 day streak. If I do today as No S it will be 90-10 = 80 days left of my streak and I am on Day 10 (double figures!!) lol:

Had a great S weekend, really relaxed and nibbled but did not overeat I can see why the S days need to be relaxed at the start of this wonderful change.

Yesterday was OK, really ready for my evening meal and I wasn't late to bed but today I feel very focused!
