I did much better this week. Only wednesday was a snack disaster in the evening

. I can't figure out what was the trigger for that.

Oolala53, your advice about thinking about the benefits of having an overnight fast helped me a lot. Thank you!

This_is_it

:cry: I'm back to square one with the evening snacking and cravings. Having nothing but red days the last few weeks. One thing that is positive is that during the day i'm doing fine. And another positve thing is (so there are two positive things :lol:) is that i no longer drink coffee. I noticed tha...

My first week in the year 2018, Nos went great. And now i'm also having a calm weekend.

Looking forward to next week

.

This_is_it

Yes, i'm in

. And i'm fighting (mainly) the same battle as you are Gingerpie; evening snacking.

This_is_it

Also i want to thank everyone for all the great advise and support. I'm gonna need it again

.

This_is_it

I'm so glad 2018 is here. I need to start over.

Hopefully i can comply better this year. It is a mental thing for sure. But i'm all in again

.

This_is_it

Still here. First months of 2017 i did very well. But then i lost track. Not that i forgot about NOS but i could not get myself to comply anymore

.

But NOS is the only way (for me) that makes sense. So 2018, here i am

.

This_is_it

Happy new year

This_is_it

Stay with us through the holidays! That's when the most gain usually happens. Yes, i'll stay. NOS is the best. I need that sanity. Looking forward to 2018. :lol: I'm still having red days. Some bad some not so bad. But i'm also having green days. The good news is that i know that NOS is the way to ...

This_is_it

Last week i had two red days (thursday and friday), so there is some improvement

. My motivation is coming back so that is positve. Let's go!

This_is_it

Yesterday (monday) was finally a green day again. I'm happy with that because the last two weeks were almost entirely red. And the weekends crazy. I'm paying better attention to my meals. They might be a bit heavy but i want to build on habit first. At the beginning of the year when i had succes wee...

This_is_it

Still fighting with the cravings during the night (after diner). I also have them in the afternoon sometimes but then i can ease my mind by looking forward to diner. That is what is going wrong in my mind; in the evening i think about how long it will be until breakfast and that it may be difficult ...

This_is_it

Thank you for the advice and wise words. They help me a lot.

Last week i had two red days; monday and wednesday. The rest of the week went well.

Yesterday was green. I'm feeling better and more motivated now. Building on habit again.

This_is_it

I'm still struggling with evening snacking (again). Doing well during the day but around 20:00 pm i'm starting to get cravings. And i'm not doing a good job fighting those cravings at the moment :oops: . Sometimes i have green days but most of the time i fail. Yesterday (monday) i failed again. But ...

This_is_it

I finally got a green week under my belt

. I'm so glad. Hopefully i'm back on track. But now it is weekend.

This_is_it

Well.....still having some difficulties. Some days were green but some were absolutly dark red

. This weekend was also a bit insane. But today is monday. Starting a new week. And i will do better.

Yes, this is very important.

I'm also making my meals big

. Specially lunch. It helped because tuesday and wednesday were green.

This_is_it

I'm back. I fell off the wagon the last few weeks. I don't know what went wrong. I was in a good flow but lost it when i went on vacation :? . During the day i'm doing fine but then the evening comes and the snacking starts. What is up with that bad habit. I did so well for months....And i feel real...

This_is_it

I'm still in but experiencing difficulties. It started on a short vacation last april and since then it went down hill. The evening snacking has returned :evil:. I had a very bad month in may. But now i feel ready to do it again. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong but i don't know yet. I was i...

This_is_it

I had weird S-days. Normally i look forward to s-days but this weekend well...not so much. I still ate some muffins and cookies. Not because i wanted them but because it was an s-day. Afterwards i felt weird..... So i am considering to make s-days n-days when i feel like it. The last few weeks i fel...

This_is_it

Yes, i totally know the scale issue. I don't weigh myself daily. Not even weekly but i also let the number on the scale dictate how i feel. I don't want that anymore. I lost weight since i started NOS but i still have this number in my head i want to reach. I know it should not matter how much weigh...

This_is_it

Get well soon, Ironchef!

This_is_it

This week i suddenly noticed that i my hunger pangs have subsided. That is wonderfull! I feel hungry before lunch and diner but not excessively anymore. I also cleaned out my cabinet this week. I have a few jeans that are too big. One of my daughters said: Mom, you really can't wear them anymore, pl...

This_is_it

I have thought about the weighing some more and have come to the conclusion that i don't want to beat myself up about it, like Kaalii sugested. I think it has to do with the weightloss process. I have just started Nos and i love the sanity of it; i just have to think about having 3 good meals a day ...

This_is_it

I had a fail last week. It did not concerne the eating habits, that went well but i weighed myself :oops: . I just got curious...... The good news is that i lost weight (about 6 kg, 13 lbs?) I don't know exactly because i didn't weigh myself when i started at the beginning of the year. The bad news ...

This_is_it

Things are going well over here :lol: . The hungerpangs are getting less so that is a good thing. But i realise it may have to do with hormones. But now i can handle them. I also stopped drinking soda's on s-days. This happend unconsciously. Not that i drank a lot of it but i don't really like it an...

This_is_it

I'm feeling better this week :lol: . I had my first comments of people who said: it seems that you have lost some weight. They are right. I don't know how much weight i have lost because i don't stand on the scale but i now fit in a jeans that was way to tight in the beginning of this year so: Yeah!...

This_is_it

Experienced some difficulties this week but the days were still green :) . I had hunger pangs between lunch and diner. That was kind of new to me :wink: . In the past my most difficult times were the evenings (perma snacking). But now i had quite strong hunger signals at about 15:30 hour. At least t...

Thank you, Merry and Oolala53 for thinking with me. You both have a really good point. I do have some hormonal issues going on but i don't want that to be an excuse. Although i realise they sure can be a problem. I also will look into my water intake. Like you said Oolala53: NOS is the best plan. Th...

This_is_it

Since the past week i'm experiencing more hunger signals between meals. I have not changed the quantity of my meals. I'm doing Nos since january 2nd. Could this mean that my fat reserves are now actually being adressed or is it something else? I know that when i started Nos in january, the hunger si...

I am so happy, i'm doing really well, if i do say so myself :lol: . I am noticing that habit is beginning to settle in. This tuesday i was worried because of my husbands birthday.

Or sometimes I'll just be walking down the hall and an image of waffles will just pop into my head. Strange that.

The past week was green. But i had some difficult moments during the evening. And i experienced a hunger pang on thursday afternoon :lol: . Luckily i was looking forward to a nice diner so i could hang in. Tomorrow i am planning a S event day because of my husbands birthday. We are going out to dinn...

This_is_it

As the days go by i am noticing that i'm not hungry anymore between meals. I think i have figured out what i need during meals. But the cravings in the evening are back. But it defenitly is not hunger. The weird thing is that i can't handle cravings as well as i can handle genuine hunger.

This_is_it

This week was a green one, woohoo. But i had two difficult moments. First one was thursday night. I was craving something sweet. I had a tough time resisting the urge but i did it. And the second moment was friday afternoon. I visited friends and they served really nice cookies. But i stayed strong....

Really, just sit back, practice the three esses, take a walk, and relax. I have congenital back problems, so I swim. Whatever.

But this week went well; from monday to friday all green. Yes!!

Hi guys, can i join you? 2017 started well for me; 2 green days :D . This thread is a good motivator. I am also trying to change my mind set to focuss on habit and not so much on losing weight. I have also decided that i won't stand on the scale. The number on the scale does something negative with ...

Things calmed down a bit here. I now allow myself a hot chocolat drink around 8 pm. And that helps a lot.

I'm looking forward to 2017. Making the nos diet a lifestyle.

Thank you for all the suggestions and kind words. They are really helpfull. I have to learn that if i eat 3 good meals my body is doing fine. And that feeling hungry sometimes does not mean i need a snack. The idea of going to bed in time is also something i will have to look into. Last night i prep...

The last few weeks i'm experiencing a lot of difficulties in the evening. I'm snacking and grazing, binging even. I have been thinking really hard what is the cause of this.

If you look at stats in the rest of the world, it's very normal to overeat in the presence of a generous food supply and lack of a culture of moderation.

It is time for me to make a journal of my journey to normalize my eating habits. So far i'm doing fine. A few weeks after i started the nos diet my stomach started acting up.

My stomach is feeling much better the last few days. This week the N-days were all green

Yes, i'm absolutely going to give it a try. What i most like about the nos diet is the 3 plates a day thing. "Only" 3 moments that i need to think about food will give me so much freedom.
