Good luck...
You'll do great. I started on a Friday - That was a stupid day to start. It'll be a tough week, but by Saturday you'll be on your way.

Thanks Kevin and Jan-tz for your support
OK, my first day!
It went really well, I had breakfast and lunch and dinner and nothing inbetween - this was a real success because normally I snack in the evening. But I didn't even think of going to the vending machine, it wasn't allowed today, so basta!
But... after dinner I went to the cinema with a friend and she bought "weingummi" for both of us. I really don't know the English word, it is something like jelly beans. To cut a long story short I had a few of them.. definitely a snack and something sweet.
But anyway I feel good with the rest of the day! Tomorrow will be better!

Second Day
The same as yesterday. It went really well the whole day but after dinner I had some ice cream (grrrrr...). But I am proud that I nearly made it. Tomorrow is another day!

Hi JackieO,
Two reasons to take heart, despite the weingummi incident:
1. Remember that you're never more than 3 weeks away (or so) from building a new habit.
2. You're learning from this. You now know which esses at which times of day are the most difficult for you and will be especially on guard against those. It might take a few tries to hit three solid, successful weeks, but as long as you're learning, and making a bit more progress each try, you're in good shape. And the nice thing about messing up on day 1 is that the bar to do better next time is very low!

It's Friday morning here in Germany and so I won't talk about yesterday but live today
I really want those three weeks to go! And this is the funny part - even though I failed the last days I am not discouraged because I know I need to try it again and will succeed in the end. And this is because I know it is possible to live like that, I felt that on Monday.
So this is gonna be a real NoSDay (after all I don't have to wait a long time for the SDays...)

Good luck!
I started No S on a Friday and it worked well for me... I've been incident free for three weeks today.
It's do-able. I have no excess of willpower and I've pulled it off so far. On Saturday and Sunday, try not to stray too far. Maybe bigger meals or just a dessert, but maybe try not to go crazy. It worked/works for me.

No Snacks
No Sweets
No Seconds
In the afternoon I was really starving but I made it, yippie!
Breakfast: 2 slices of bread with curd and jam, 1 apple
Lunch: Salad, Fries and Fruits (not really on ONE plate but I watched the portion size!)

And now I am totally satisfied. Good night!
