Everyday Systems

I think it would help me to detail what I'm eating on S-Days, since I think I need to rein it in. I got into this Ben & Jerry's thing... technically okay on No-S, but way too many calories in one sitting. I'm feeling guilty for having polished off that (delicious) treat moments ago... Sat: bfast - c...

Well, it wasn't a great week. I think I had 3 red or yellow days. The reasons: poor planning and stress. I feel a little better knowing that the slip-ups were minor. I never went into binge mode, even when I made four boxes of brownies for a fundraiser. I ate crumbs and licked the spoon, but that wa...

4/20: Success

Didn't struggle with chocolate cravings as much as the other Mondays.

No exercise, hopefully tonight.

Weekend: Exempt

Enjoyed 2 slices of husband's bday cake and plenty of ice cream. Guilt-free!

The only exercise I got was mulching the garden. Wanted to go to yoga, but no luck.

4/16: Success I came sooooo close last night to having a late night snack - and it would NOT have been healthy food. I put it off, and sure enough the hunger faded a bit, and I was able to just power through until bedtime. So glad I did that! Got on the scale and have lost 2.5 since Tuesday (3 days)...

apo- It would be great if you would email me the chart! I'll contact you.

It sounds like we are in a similar place. I've been No-Sing for 2 weeks, trying to lose 15 pounds as well. I, too, am a serious chocoholic! Knowing I can indulge over the weekend helps with the cravings alot - you are really just putting it off. Distracting myself until it passes is always a good st...

April 14: Success
April 15: Success

Powered through chocolate cravings and am pretty much in the groove. I'm eating big meals and will need to work on that - but going to just concentrate on the no snacks, no sweets part for now

I will try it - thank you so much for the information!

Well, it's time to start tracking my weight. I finally got myself on the scale (it has been about 2 years since I've weighed myself), and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have about 12 pounds to go. Can anyone suggest a way to track current weight and goal weight with a chart? Excel? I w...

Thanks geekmom - I am going to try cutting off sweets at the end of the day on Sundays and see if that helps. Good suggestion about the hot drink - a small non-fat mocha has rescued me many times! I think just knowing I will encounter this problem on Mondays, and planning for it, may help.

Thanks!

Hello - I'm new to the board and just getting re-established with NoS. I'm having a lot of trouble with sweets cravings on Mondays, after having eaten sweets for the previous two days. It's definitely a pattern with me. I'm wondering if I should cut myself off from sweets on Sundays (or just Sunday ...

April 13th: Failure I had a good day up until tonight - I just got a bad chocolate craving and gave into it. I do get more cravings on Mondays since I just spent the weekend eating sweets. I wonder if I should make only Saturday a day to have sweets. I don't know, it's always a challenge on Mondays ...

Sat/Sun: S Days Great that Easter is on an S-Day. Didn't go too crazy...actually felt sick after eating some chocolate eggs (my favorite). Normally I wouldn't notice that sick feeling in my stomach. Did eat several bowls of Ben and Jerrys, my standard S-Day treat. Exercise: tried a yoga class Saturd...

April 10th: Success

Made it through the first week! I'm so very happy to be at the weekend and able to eat what I want. Just in the nick of time.

Bfast: cereal
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: veggie pizza

exercise: paddleboating! (pretty strenuous)

April 9: Success! I was really craving chocolate last night, but again, was distracted and then the feeling passed. Bfast: 4 pieces of cinnamon toast Lunch: Leftover crockpot chicken, leftover chili. I had more than one plate, but I need to feel full to get to the next meal. I don't really worry abo...

April 8: [color= green]Success[/color] Kathleen - I unchecked the disable box but it doesn't look like it's working. No big deal! This is my fourth day of success in a row, which is great - I'm feeling more confident that I can do this. Big-time chocolate craving but I just put it off for a few minu...

April 7th: Success. Thanks for welcoming me! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one with a color issue :) . (I don't think my emoticons work either!) I'm using a Mac...maybe that's relevant. Back to the diet: A green light day, with a little funny stuff. Bfast: Honey Bunches cereal mid-morning: ...

Would someone tell me how to change the font color? I highlighted it and chose green, but it just puts the code around it (see above).

Thanks!

Hello - I'm re-starting No S, as of yesterday. I really loved it in the few months I was doing it...in fact, it's the only diet I've ever been able to stick with at all, ever. I lost weight, was feeling confident...and then a little self-sabotage snuck in there and I was more off the diet than on it...
