I've been there!
I have been where you are! It sounds like your kids are little, you are not close to home (no proverbial village) and your close friend and therapist is a big bowl of pasta (insert your own food friend). And you just recently broke up with your best friend. That is a lot. My kids are teens now and I...

Love your post! I wish you well and want to tag along. I have been successful with this plan. However, summer hit and now preparing teenage girls for school... One excuse and stress after another. I have not been lurking. I have been completely avoiding. Your post motivated me. Rolling up my sleeves...

I have not been at this very long. I have lost about 5 pounds so far. That is with a little detour over the holidays. However, it is a slow process as others have said. I feel more in control and healthier. The weeks where I see the scale move is when I add some exercise like wearing a pedometer and...

My husband and I often go out on date night on Friday too. I find if I am relaxed about it it is easier. I tell myself to enjoy myself and if I think a little shared dessert fits the bill then I can get it. As soon as I start the mental debate, then I NEED the dessert. It becomes obsessive and not a...

Today could be tough!
It is a snow day today. No school for the kids! I normally love these days. We hang out. I usually bake something. But there is a LOT of time to get into trouble in the kitchen. The snow will start this afternoon. We can't even go out and take a walk because it is all ice. Help!

So it has been a month. Down 5 pounds. I am happy about that. I have learned that I don't need to weigh myself every day, but I do need to do it a couple of times a week. I tend to fall into a false sense of skinny until reality hits... A photo, jeans are suddenly a bit snug, or I make the mistake a...

I'm sure many of the other posters can give you words of wisdom that will help you move forward. My thoughts regarding the slower process is to just look at my history. I have not been struggling with my weight and eating habits for only a few weeks or a few months. I have been struggling for years!...

Oh my! I was thinking of stepping on the scale to check this morning. I think I need to stay off! I am new too so I don't have a lot of advice. However, what you did last week seemed to work and must be motivating. You can't undo what you did this weekend. Maybe have a super healthy Monday. Good mea...

I am finishing my second week. I have not gained any weight. I have actually lost a couple of pounds. I did better when I made time to exercise. I am also getting a handle on my 3 meals. During the first week I would be famished by the time a meal rolled along and I would go a bit crazy. Now the nov...

Gotta ask "Why?"
So I am fairly new to this diet plan. I actually do see it as a new way of living rather than a diet. As I go about my day the one rule that is most challenging and enlightening is the No Snacks rule. Every time I want a snack I know I can't have it. I am forced to ask myself why I want the snack an...

On the same boat! I too am in the beginning. I do enjoy the "romance" stage of a new diet. This one is almost too simple to be fun. No points to calculate. No foods to scan and enter into my phone. But I think the simplicity and lack of blurred lines makes it something I can stick with once the "rom...

Alex, I know what you are going through. This is my first week. I have done a good job of avoiding all of the S's on the No S days. It has been harder than I thought. I love to mindlessly snack and some sweets are very attractive. I just love all food! I think trying to retrain my brain is difficult...

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and encouragement. Changing old ways is not easy. It was a rather stressful day and sweet temptations were presented at every turn. I was offered donuts in the morning, chocolate with friends then lots of Halloween candy. It was very hard to not self medicate ...

I think in the area of dieting, focus is our worst enemy. The more I focus on what I can eat and what I am forbidden the more I want the forbidden. I find the No S diet allows me to focus less. How much time do I really need to think of the three simple rules? There is no wiggle room or ways to mani...

Today was my first official No S day. It was not horrible. In a way, it was a relief. With as much candy and temptation we have in the house, I am certain it would have been a day of emotional warfare. However, there were no decisions to make. When I thought of having some chocolate, the answer was ...

Regardless of the fact that Halloween was a few days ago. It rained on Halloween and had very few trick or treaters. You see where this is going. Ho...
