Usual breakfast today - an egg, toast, avocado, coffee. I'm really hungry for lunch - it's almost time! I'm having left overs from Wed - chicken, grilled onion & peppers, cheese and tortilla - plus a cutie and a tiny banana. Tonight we're helping at an event -so it'll be pizza for dinner. Hoping for...

Thanks for the encouragement. I tried the tea thing last night and it was helpful - I chose a fruity tea that tastes sweet - so it was a nice snack-like thing. I'm still hanging in there with no-s this week. The snacks after dinner are the only real hurdle - so I suppose that's good. It's been easy ...

Yes - the stew is a favorite of mine - barley, red lentil, carrot, potato, tomato, cardamom, cinnamon, currants, parsley & lemon - it's hearty, but not gloopy (the spices, currants and lemon lift it up). Last night I was again tempted by chocolate - but made it through. I just have to keep choosing ...

Getting back here after a break traveling over the holidays. I had some extra s-days over the break - but now am getting back to the regular no-s. Yesterday was an no-s day even through it was Sunday - not too hard, although chocolate looked good... Today is going well - I had a great breakfast: Cof...

Thanks for the encouragement! It's going well - the weekend was great - I did have a cookie on Sunday -but with a coffee just after lunch - avoiding the after dinner snacks. Today has been good - I had a pilates class at 1 - so I had a small lunch and then a snack after the class - basically just sp...

I had a big weekend - Saturday - went out for dinner and then to a party - so a larger than usual meal and some snacks/drinks at the part. Sunday - baked 4 different kinds of Christmas cookies - sampled most of them and had an after dinner snack,and then another, and then a third. I've been weighing...

Wow! It sounds like you've had quite a journey! It's very inspiring to hear that you're doing so well and expecting to use the No-S diet forever.

I was tempted to snack anyway, but I didn't! Day...

Dear Alene,

Congrats on going to the party, enjoying it and avoiding candy. That sounds like a sucess to be celebrated!

I hope you have a great day today!

Thanks for the suggestions! Milk does seem like a good solution! Last night I had a pretty large dinner (but only one plate) and I was tempted by snacking after dinner, but I didn't! So - that's good. This morning (Day 13) so far so good. I have a busy day, but a nice lunch of leftovers packed to lo...

Hi all! I started the No S diet on Nov. 30th. So Nov 30 : Day 1 It was actually surprisingly easy - I suppose after the Thanksgiving holiday I was "over it" as far as eating a ton and snacks and sweets. So I did S-days for that first Sat and Sunday. (Days 1 & 2) Similarly, the first week was really ...
