Nicest of the Damned, I don't spend too much time at the kitchen but my biggest concern is the small fridge at our dining area where on top of it, snacks/sweets are placed for everyone to see/eat. And I normally have to pass this area before I can get to my room and it is a constant reminder of my r...

Yes, unfortunately my favorite peanut butter is sitting on top of the fridge along with cookies, chocolates and other sweets that are visible for the rest of the family to devour. On days I would crave for its taste, I would eat it straight out from the jam and cannot stop myself. I have a weakness ...

Nicest/Damned & Oolala53, thank you so much for all your advices and I will keep them in mind when days get hard. I'm on day 3 and they are just what I need to hear to get through today. I have been awfully thinking a lot about the sweets sitting on top of the fridge and patiently waiting for me on ...

Thanks for the encouragement and good luck to you too!

Hello, I have decided to give this diet one last time and see if it will help me get rid of my weird cravings and emotional eating once and for all, and to learn how to manage portion control. I don't want to lose too much weight. I just want to have a healthy relationship with food. Thanks, Valerie

Congrats! I hope I'm that strong willed as well! If I were in your shoes, I'd probably gobble up the chocolate before I can think of throwing it away!

I used to do that too. Prior to No-S, I'd eat reasonably during the day and then blow it all by eating non-stop all evening. When I started No-S, I realized I used nibbling as an excuse to put off all the evening chores I didn't want to do! I so resented not having any time to myself that I was "ta...

Thanks KCCC! I don't know if it is just me but after meal, I still find myself looking for something to nibble on. I tried counting to ten to see if the craving goes away but it never does. I'll try out the tea and let you know how it goes!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I really need that. :) I'm well aware the my binging is primarily a result of work stress. Speaking of which, work keeps me from eating my dinner on time. Although I get off work at 6pm, I normally reach home past 7pm. By this time, I'm already famished...

I was doing okay until my 21st day. I was so proud of myself for accomplishing this small feat that I gave in to one miniature-sized milkyway as sort of break from the routine. This led to another.. and another, and another. I wasn't able to stop 'till every last piece was out of my sight. I tried t...

Yes, I'm sleeping heaps better and longer nowadays! I also find myself waking up surprisingly early in the morning looking forward to eat breakfast. It has now become my favorite meal of the day. By the way, today is my first S day! Can I replace it with a N-day just to keep the momentum going & tak...

I've been taking it slow, just focusing on my eating habits & not worrying much about losing weight. When I feel the urge to snack, I try to remind myself of what it feels like to wake up in the morning on an empty stomach. And it works! The past two days went well so far, I just hope I can keep it ...

Thanks, will do exactly that. I hope to have a better relationship with food with this diet.

I'm 22 years old, currently at 115 lbs, at just over 5'1''. Well, what do you want to weigh? It might be your body doesn't LIKE 98. Does your doctor have an opinion about your weight? Hi Noel, Maybe to lose just a few, maximum of 10 lbs. Yes, I think so too and I'm happy to get past that stage. As ...

Hello Friends, I'm registered to this board a year ago but never made a post until now. I'm hoping this can end my uncontrollable cravings & binges at night. I want to regain control over my eating habits as this has been going on for a couple of months now. I'm 22 years old, currently at 115 lbs, a...
