Everyday Systems

Quick update: I made it through two „normal“ days back on track…, I feel better than yesterday, cautiously optimistic, some might say.

Sooooo, yesterday was my first red day in almost 7 weeks. It kind of developed over a couple of days - and after lunch I just continued eating - it felt automated, somehow….

Today I feel weird, slept awful… - I hope I can get back on track…,

WIN, that sounds so great - consistency is everything! I think you should not record the red day as "a failure" but maybe instead look at it as your way of doing NoS/life: you are the girl that eats three meals a day, parties on Fridays and has moderate S days - period? Looking at it that way, you p...

Wow! WIN, one year is amazing! Congratulations - cautiously optimistic is a very nice way of describing the attitude - deep down I feel the same! Today I stepped on the scale: 95,7kg - no change since last week, which is totally okay - still, I'm not sure how triggering this first plateau will be - ...

:) Thank You, WINhappy - your words really made my day… - I really appreciate your support - especially during rough times it is so great to hear the thoughts of someone who‘s going through the same - I made it through the past days despite a lot of stress and several meals with triggering thoughts ...

Another check in - everything‘s fine - quite hungry the past two days - leaves me a little triggered after meals because compared to the past weeks my meals seem a little bigger - my mind already creates scenarios of failure…

I hope I can get through this phase and continue eating normally…

Quick check in: everything stable, No S all day, every day (with my modifications, of course :mrgreen: ) - weigh in this morning: 95,7kg... - staying on track seems easy right now - I'm not sure why but I enjoy it while it lasts... I have mixed feelings regarding the weight loss - but try not to foc...

Hey WINhappy, thanks for your cheers - looks like you‘re doing well, too! :D It’s nice to see that being consistent seems to become easier over time - I imagine, also having the occasional red day does not completely push you off the wagon after learning that NoS life goes on - kind regards to you -...

Thanks, Amy!

Check in after the vavation: we had a great time, I truly enjoyed the special food, although my eating was somewhat disturbed by being so busy all day - also, I drank too little, I think. Now, I really look forward to getting back into the usual routine…

Amy, I was wondering: is today your birthday? (because of the 3010 in your name) - if so: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Quick check in: Today is day No.30 of No S - I‘m a little proud and feel so much better than 1 month ago…, :D another non-scale benefit: I‘m going on a short vacation on Saturday, and I‘m so looking forward to eating out and enjoying good food - without No S I would have either completely overdone i...

Thanks, Soprano, Amy, and Oolala for your insights/cheers/comments! That's very encouraging - I'm very grateful to all of you! Sharing your experience is precious! There's quite a lot to learn when it comes to life style changes, and it's amazing how starting with the food more and more topics come ...

Quick check in - felt like stepping on the scale this morning - :wink: : 98,6kg ... - crazy... So far, I did not report on the food I've usually eaten over the past 22 days - I really try to listen to my needs..., so breakfast is usually a large latte macchiato and some dark bread with cheese. Lunch...

Thanks Amy, that's so nice of you to say - and a very good suggestion. I will start with the list right away... Today I noticed another benefit of eating in moderation: I checked my blood pressure (I'm on one blood pressure lowering medication) and my numbers were lower than ever. I even think of re...

Another check in: 99,8kg as of yesterday morning - That’s about 3.2kg lost in 18 days… - I‘m happy, but also quite insecure right now. I know this phase where I become fixated on weight loss and forget all the other benefits of this way of eating… - I feel lile failure looms around the corner… :oops...

Hey,

past days went well although I realize that I can‘t tolerate feeling full after a meal very well - it keeps triggering thoughts of giving in to cravings - I didn‘t, though! That’s really awsome …,

Quick check in: the past three days went well, weight stayed the same (100,3kg), which is totally fine. I feel very "balanced" with not eating all day - that's really nice.

One after thought: I see a bad habit creeping up on me -> if I lose some weight I seem to try to stick to whatever I did to do so and then try to "be better" than before to even improve my results or avoid failure - which of course prompts me to fail..., for example: I seem to compare my meals today...

Thanks, Ellis! Good advice - isn't that crazy...? Congrats on your weight loss, too! Today I ignored the scale - felt a little under the weather anyway and had a busy day back at work... - so, very few thoughts on eating which is so nice! I just finished dinner and feel rather full, although I ate a...

Thanks so much, WINhappy! I read many of your older posts - sounds like you learned a lot on your NoS path - thank you for sharing your wisdom..., :mrgreen: I stepped on the scale this morning: 100,3kg - so I seem to have lost about 2 kg in 10 days even while eating out three times per day for seven...

Hey WIN, That’s so kind of you - thank you! I have been unusually relaxed and consistent over the past 10 days - might be due to the fact that I‘ve been on vacation :))) - but even with restaurant food for the past week I was able to stick to three meals a day without snacks or sweets, except for 1 ...

Dear Diary..., :lol: ..... I feel like the running gag of weight loss - years later I'm back to square one... Despite my age I seem not to be able to trust my body... But I really want to - and I know it's the right way, so... I start this new day with the hope to find a normal way of eating - aka: ...

Hello again, many months and many unsuccessful attempts later I‘m back at this forum. I keep coming back to No S because it is the only reasonable way to eat. After losing my mum to pancreatic cancer last year I really felt like my eating habbits have to change. After zillions of experiments with pl...

Completely new to No S and so happy to have found this site!
