Down a couple pounds. Still skipping breakfast. It's getting easier. Today we worked at a big organizing project. I am amazed how extremely delicious my lunch is

Azalealilac

Day 3 of no breakfast. I Really enjoy my lunch, of which I make extra effort to have something delicious. Brown rice, pork and beans, tilapia with lime, bacon and mayo. There is only this desire to have something delicious and healthy and hearty. Like no temptation for sweets. A lot of mental adjust...

For 2 days now I skipped breakfast entirely, per my sister in law's encouragement. She had the same bad feelings after breakfast and starting skipping it with good results so I am trying it. For me it really brings out the chance to fight off anxiety. I think that is good because I have eaten from f...

Azalealilac

A lot of times oatmeal and peanut butter. Or pancakes and peanut butter.

Weight is at 215. I get no where on that issue. Some special days this week. I feel that I am trying what is so impossible. To lose weight while nursing a baby. Otherwise I have been outside for a bit of fresh air and exercise most days. I am trying to address the horrible slump after breakfast. I d...

Good Monday. Enjoyed walking. I really want to increase the walking. My sleep was bad, in part because of my leg feeling uncomfortable and I'm just sure that more walking will loosen the tightness and strengthen the muscles. Meals were perfect.

Azalealilac

It's good to be reminded that we aren't in desperate need for food the instant we get tired. That's why I keep coming back to this way of eating. I want to keep food where it belongs and not allow it to control me. As for the weekend 🤷 bridal shower treats were yummy. But I like normal days better w...

Azalealilac

Ok supper was RED.

Enjoyed being outside twice.

Azalealilac

Outside for fresh air and exercise.

Three plates/ bowls of food for sensible eating. An afternoon snack because of the nursing baby.

Iron pills to combat exhaustion.

Mental health- "I am a happy person."

Today my eating is better so far. Remembering to choose my whole amount first. Then eat.

We have sheep too. I really am not used to them. They are wild. But the goats, they are therapeutic

Azalealilac

Some fresh air and exercise out with the goats. Love being out with the animals.

My daughter had dental surgery yesterday. I was a bundle of nerves. But we got through.

Still need some improvement on the no s rules but I'm sure I'll get there. Have done this often and really like it.

Azalealilac

Interesting experiment this morning. I deliberately ate a smaller breakfast because of so often feeling so pitiful after breakfast. I don't know if it was the type of food or the lesser amount or something else but I had energy to work for longer than usual. However I could barely make it to lunch. ...

Azalealilac

Thank you! I really need to focus on the 5 normal days. I 'think' I do fairly well. I would like to just eat what I enjoy eating and get the habits in place. Then see what needs changed. Instead of stressing which food is healthy for me.

Azalealilac

I'm back. Still really believe this is the best plan. I hope to work at staying with it.

Azalealilac

That is good thinking, Oolala!

Azalealilac

Yesterday afternoon we needed to go for some furniture. Our crockpot of food was not ready so we went for the furniture and then ate when we got back 2 hours later. At first I thought we would need to buy some lunch but then we had eaten out often lately and husband said we can just eat when we get ...

Azalealilac

Thank you for your encouragement!

Azalealilac

I want to lose a # a week. Not 3 this week and then gain it right back. I want to gradually get rid of about 20#. I am nursing a 21 month old. I'm sure this factors in to how much food I think I need. I wish I could gradually take a little less and realize I am okay and did not suffer to much to be ...

Azalealilac

I don't know what to say. Think I'm being reasonable with food but not getting results. So I guess one thing is keep on, next thing notice a bit what is out of hand.

Azalealilac

Right now the goal is to eat a bit less and lose 1# a week, checked on Sunday morning. And I did this week!

I do try to watch how much sugar I have.

Azalealilac

Thank you ladybird, I think too it is the cutting out of the processed food more than it is exactly which food group is eaten. I just followed a certain plant based diet so long I have trouble thinking it's truly best to go ahead and eat meat and fat.

Azalealilac

I have always enjoyed baking. And it has always been my slippery slope. Today we made pans of cinnamon rolls for friends who have a death in the family. The caramel icing was so good. But later I feel let down like why can't I just have one tomorrow like planned instead of tasting icing tonight. Som...

Azalealilac

Auto, I just read a whole bunch of your posts. You are very inspiring!

Azalealilac

One method of eating promotes plant foods and no fat, and great health and improvement from disease. A complete opposite approach says lots of fat and protein and limited plants, and great health and improvement from disease. Some days I feel confused which food I'm allowed to eat. Almost the only t...

Azalealilac

I can't call it Green day by No S but I am feeling better about my overall eating. I'll probably get there eventually. I finally feel like my head is in a better place like I could go with less food.

Azalealilac

Good day. I walked briskly and did not have the afternoon snack. I was hungry and glad for supper. Though I have not quite mastered the one plate only, I didn't overeat and I only had 3 meals.

Azalealilac

I finally feel better about my eating tonight. I had some lovely chocolate after a good Sunday lunch. I enjoyed my meal tonight with friends and I'm done without overdoing it.

I had at least a 10 minute brisk walk.

Azalealilac

Somehow I do reasonably well earlier in the day and overeat in the evening. Not sure how to conquer this. It is Saturday and I had a tea party with my girls. All might have been well if I'd have stopped then but no, I ate more cookies, then I ate supper of course, though I tried to cut back. Ending ...

Azalealilac

Thank you! I did well today except my supper was a bit too big it did not seem to be a meal I could put on one plate and I just kinda forgot to think straight. But hey I had a great afternoon planning my homeschool for the coming week and drinking a big cup of coffee. So much fun just didn't quite t...

Azalealilac

Refreshed my memory looking over these few posts. So I set out for a brief walk before school. I feel I have not gotten anywhere with the weight loss for months. I will be inspired and work hard at it for about a week lose a couple pounds get sidetracked and go back to where I was. so with my husban...

Today was good. I feel peaceful about it. Breakfast was a piece of sausage and one egg and a bowl of oatmeal with butter and salt. Lunch: ground venison/ vegetable soup: carrots, squash, onion, garlic. One piece whole wheat bread with peanut butter. Snack: 1/2 grapefruit, tablespoon peanut butter w/...

Azalealilac

Yup, all mine plus 4 more! Love it! Im doing okay so far today. Yesterday was a flop. I mean with the snow and cold seemed we needed cookies and hot chocolate. I've always had a problem with cookies not the hot chocolate. Well I will keep on going. Wonderful snow! -10 degrees this morning. Rare for ...

Azalealilac

My vacation to see my family went great. Only up 1/2# after trip. Been mostly on track since. Just not that hard to keep the rules with my mod of a snack because of nursing. If I skip that snack after a bit I'm eating at night to catch up so I'd rather just have that snack at 4 or 5:00. 3 kids birth...

Azalealilac

Thanks, that is encouraging!

Azalealilac

Anytime the scale drops numbers so fast I eat more, and can't hold on to the new numbers. Plan to travel for a full week. I wish I'd keep a bit of No S at least. I feel less happy after the extra sweets today. What if I let go for a full week? I'll be back at 200 or worse. I can't help what foods ar...

Azalealilac

Been doing great here. Scale numbers shifted downward! It's fairly easy for me to keep to mealtimes and one snack. I've adjusted a bit what type of food I'm eating. I'm still very satisfied. And my twins are 1 year old today!

Azalealilac

Today was fun. I had peanut butter oatmeal cookies, peanut butter m&ms, and eggnog. My husband and I took a trail this afternoon that was about 2 1/2 miles of walking. Loved it but I am definitely not used to that distance. The good part is this trail is not far from my house and maybe I could take ...

Azalealilac

Thanks, Merry! I am walking 10 minutes most days having gradually increased from 8 and then 9. I like the fresh air between breakfast and schooltime. Meals were good. Especially enjoyed homemade pizza tonight and fresh milk from our friend's cow. We are keeping it while they travel for a couple weeks.

Azalealilac

Good day. The cookies were tempting but I did not eat them. Good bowl of soup for supper. I really enjoy soup.

Got extra projects accomplished besides homeschooling the children. Was amazing to have a good day after a very disrupted night with a sick baby who thankfully was fine today.

Azalealilac

Thank you for your kind remarks. Today was our 19th anniversary. We went out for supper to The Bayou. Having visited Louisiana on our honeymoon it was fun to have some food from that area.

Azalealilac

Really enjoyed reading all your thread, Merry. You are an inspiration to me.

Azalealilac

I suppose it was technically a Green Day. I kept to my rules but I just feel like I eat too much and I need to work on this. I get discouraged that I'll never lose weight but then I make a full plate. Its this fear of not making it through to the next meal. It has bound me so long. But I could just ...

Azalealilac

I must say I really prefer N days. While the treats on Saturday may seem fun at the time, they leave me unsatisfied at day's end.

Azalealilac

Because of reading TunaFishKid's check in thread I went to Facebook and unfollowed certain diet groups I keep reading about. Now I can figure out my real interests in life.

Azalealilac

Actually it sounded like a good idea to unfollow certain diet groups on face book and figure out what my real interests are in life. I have read and read on diets so long.... thanks for writing encouraging things

Azalealilac

I just read through your thread. Just great to hear of others who continue to come back to No S in spite of all the diets out there. Best wishes!

Azalealilac

I am about 200# and nursing almost 1 year old twins. I find if I eat 3 meals with the option for a snack because of nursing I seem to do fine. I usually have a lot of extra weight to lose after my babies are born. I have 10 children. I have used Fit for Life and McDougall programs. I have also used ...

Azalealilac

Hello
I have used No S in the past and like it because it gives me rest about food. I do not have to cut out food groups but can simply eat a plate, be thankful and move on. There is so much confusion in diets and I don't want to spend time worrying about it. So here's to the journey ahead.
