Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.
Hi Everyone. Just found out about the NoS Diet yesterday after looking on a weight loss blog that mentioned the same. Today was my first day and it was a whopping SUCCESS. I just had a great dinner [on one plate] and I cannot believe that I didn't eat one sweet or one snack today. I also found that I truly tasted and enjoyed every piece of food I ate.
I look forward to getting to know all you.

I cannot wait until my clothing size is smaller than my shoe size.
