For me it's the same as for JillyBean. I don't miss it a whit on N-days but I do still snack on S-days.
It's a whole new world.

I eat animal protein at almost every meal, have done so pretty much my whole life, and had only minor experiences with hot flashes about four years ago when I entered menopause. I treated it with evening primrose oil, and later with blackcurrant seed oil. I take the oil supplements for months at a t...

Thanks, Blueskighs. Luckily I do coaching (hence all my self-talk) and I did some serious coaching on myself all the rest of last week to "talk myself down" from the (entirely normal) tendency to keep re-living the situation (thereby re-fanning the flames of outrage, fear, etc.). It was hard work. ...

Still on plan, so: SUCCESS Last week had a freaky weird situation -- got raided by the SWAT team. It was a case of mistaken identity, with some harrowing moments in the hour-plus they were here until it was clearly understood that they had entered the home of a law-abiding citizens. (They had the w...

Personally I would not do a month off. In my experience if I get too "clean" (whether with sugar, alcohol, refined flour, whatever), then my body has a sort of toxic reaction when I reintroduce the stuff. I don't care for that feeling. (I don't care for the detox feeling either and will never cold t...

More thoughts... One thing I tell myself, and it's what I told myself when I began my exercise program at the end of March. If I don't drop sizes fast, or don't drop as many sizes as I'd like, or even if I start off in a plateau -- I'm going to stick with it. I'd rather be smoother, trimmer and fitt...

Jamie, Since sweets seem to be the downfall (if I'm reading your posts right), you may want to consider a week of no snacks and no seconds -- and allowing yourself up to one sweet a day. That way you'll get a green even if you have one sweet, yet you won't be obligated to have a sweet. I've been ha...

Not sure if there's such a thing as "S days not so good" -- everything is allowed on S days! If it didn't feel so great to eat the way you did, then eat differently next weekend. That doesn't make it a not-so-good day. If it was an S day, you were on-plan because S-days are exempt. As for the 21-day...

My first week I was piling my three plates a day high. The second week not so much but there were days or meals whe...

Gosh, it's been a week since I posted! Didn't feel good for a few days this week and while I "under" did the plan (didn't even have three meals every day because of feeling yucky), I counted that as being on-plan since I had no S'es. So, Success . S-Days - Last weekend we went out for Saturday break...

This morning (Sunday) I woke up without that "hungry" feeling and I was disappointed. There is nothing like having a good meal (especially a no-holds-barred "S" day meal!) when I've got a ravenous appetite. On N-days what's hardest for me is "no seconds." Yet, when I give myself seconds on S-days, ...

That so didn't stick to my ribs. I was hungry for lunch earlier than usual. Came home and boiled water ...
