Thanks, Merry! It's funny that the cookies never actually materialized, so all that hemming and hawing was for nothing :) Day 19: S Day Day 20: S Day Day 21: SUCCESS I've noticed I have a handful of "mods," primarily: I have about a teaspoon of honey in the morning before breakfast because it helps...

I think you're right, Merry. This week has seen a lot more activity than normal (long rides and runs), so I've pretty much just been eating whatever. But I'm going to start back to No S once those are done. I'm thinking a snack/mini-meal on 1 side of my workout and a real meal on the other side will...

Well, today was a fail. I was hungry at about 4 and planning a bike ride for this evening. Honestly, I wasn't really *that* hungry. I just didn't have the will/desire to resist the hunger. So I had a piece of peanut butter toast (as is probably obvious, I love peanut butter toast!). I was happy that...

Hi knitapeace! I think you're right about the protein. I got 2% Greek yogurt instead of the full fat stuff for this week because it has way more protein. And I'm going to try to shift a little toward leaner cuts of meat. A lot of the meat I eat is really fatty (sausage, 85% ground beef, etc...). I a...

Day 2: SUCCESS Tried the 4 meal setup yesterday, but I was still hungry all day. I liked the smaller portions though. I'm going to give it a week or so before I decide what to do. My body might just need more time to adjust to the morning workouts. It's been over 2 weeks now that I've worked out eve...

Day 1: SUCCESS After my fail yesterday, which basically amounted to an extra meal, I felt kind of gross last night and had a stomachache this morning. I was also really warm and sweaty last night (gross, I know), like my metabolism was working overtime to deal with the extra food. The funny thing is...

Day 8: FAILURE Oh man, I was so hungry today. I had lunch a little early, then caved in the afternoon and had some snacks. No sweets at least :) I'm a little nervous about being able to get back on the wagon. I'm going to focus very hard on having a successful day tomorrow. This weekend something co...

Day 4: SUCCESS Day 5: S DAY Day 6: S DAY Day 7: SUCCESS Almost lost the battle to stress eating this afternoon, but I managed to delay and distract until the urge passed. Today is 4 weeks since I started! My weight is holding steady, possibly down a bit. Today was also Day 8 of weekday morning worko...

Note to self: Don't read liveitup's check-in when I'm hungry! :P With glass ceiling, I think Reinhard says a glass is a glass is a glass. So the limit is 2 glasses, not 2 shots/drinks. I'm not doing glass ceiling yet, though I'll probably start at some point, but that was my understanding of it from...

I want to start another 21 days because thinking about continuing to count (22, 23...) makes me twitchy. It's like the pressure of failure builds every day. But I can do 21 days :) My weight yesterday morning was 141.1, so I've been holding pretty steady. I thought I'd gained a pound or two, but may...

Welcome back! If it makes you feel better, I'm back 8 years after my first try at No S :) I can totally relate to the eating to suppress anxiety thing. Frustration is another big trigger for me. I'm trying to learn to sit through the feelings and be comfortable with experiencing them. Kind of like l...

Thanks, liveitup! Today was easier, and I didn't need anything between breakfast and lunch. I ran a few miles this morning, and my mood was noticeably better. I was also more productive at work. Must remember that next time I want to sit around and sip coffee in my pajamas instead. Day 17: SUCCESS I...

Day 16: SUCCESS I thought for sure I was going to cave yesterday. Distraction plus a short nap after lunch helped. It's funny how failure often feels most inevitable right after a meal. Even if I'm satisfied, I think there's no way I can make it 6 hours until my next meal. I'm hoping that repeatedly...

Day 15: SUCCESS I decided to split my dinner into 2--appetizers at a work function, and some tuna salad when I got home. Everything was as normal otherwise. My husband brought me a little piece of chocolate after work, and I saved it until after dinner (I usually have a square of dark chocolate afte...

I'm pretty pleased with how I did on vacation. Thursday and Friday I kept to No S. I was also planning to keep with it today (Monday), the day we drove home, but my husband brought back a donut this morning. I figured we're on vacation, and it's also our anniversary today, so I ate the damn donut :P...

Day 9: SUCCESS I thought today was going to be another skin-of-my-teeth day, but it wasn't too bad. I had a headache this afternoon, which is usually a cue to overeat for me because some part of my brain thinks that eating will help, even though it rarely does. But somehow today I knew that it would...

Day 8: SUCCESS Barely! I had some blood sugar issues on my run, which happens every once in a while for reasons I haven't been able to pin down. I get weak feeling and shaky, and my vision narrows a bit. I take a gel with me just in case, and I ended up using it today. Then I felt ravenous afterward...

Thanks, Emmama! I also want to give it at least a few months. Hoping this will give me a good starting point for any future changes, instead of flailing around trying to follow something I can't stick to long term :) I figure if I can take the rest of this year to develop the habit, I'll have made g...

Ekat learns to be an adult
I started No S last Tuesday, so today is Day 7. Apparently I also did it for a little while way back in 2008 (!!), but while I remember finding the diet a long time ago, I don't remember that I tried it or how it went. I'm hoping sticking to No S will help me develop better structure and routine in ...

Hi! I'm new here, but I've found that what works for me is to break the cycle by sitting down and having a real meal. It kind of demarcates that it's where the real meals start again. Also, I eat enough so that I don't get too hungry for my next meal. So instead of trying to have a small breakfast t...
