This post has come at just the right time for me! After some initial success controlling my binging with No-S, 'life' intervened and I reverted to old behaviour in a big way (6 kgs of old behaviour!). I am now coming out of the fog and want to get back into No-S, because it's how I want to live the ...

The order of No S is its healing element, if you want my opinion. Please don't give up on it even it's hard to establish the habit. I think it is likely your best chance.

I think it's unfortunate that No-S is called a "diet", though I can't think of what else to call it. When I started No-S I banned the word 'diet' from my head and from my house.
