Everyday Systems

Well, I know this is a learning curve but, man, I was not successful yesetrday :oops: I started out fine. Breakfast. Then I ate my lunch at 1. Then I really did need to eat something before my kickboxing class because it's really intense and I was feeling lightheaded at 6 so I had some air popped po...

CEU, thanks for the cookie support. :lol: So yesterday was *almost* a NO-S day. I feel like I am going to need count this as a practice week until I get a full no-s day. I had no sweets yesterday, and no seconds, but the snack thing is still getting to me. I know it's not a big deal, when you're sta...

Kevin, I like that idea of saving a piece of fruit from my lunch for right before the gym. Congrats on your weightloss, 25 lbs is great and knowing that "maintenance is a breeze" is very comforting. MerryKat, I hope I turn out like your mother, taking control of my chocolate cravings. I feel like my...

CaroleJo, I agree that granola bars should be strictly S's. They're great to have in my desk in case of emergency, but having an apple is all the better. Today I had my breakfast at 8:30 and then at 12 there was a luncheon that I had to attend. I wasn't really hungry, but I had to eat then because f...

Hi! I'm only on Day 2 of No-S but I thought I'd insert my two cents here. Skinny does not always equal healthy. You can be thin as a rail and eat a lot of foods with cholesterol and saturated fat and end up with clogged arteries. Therefore, I think it's important to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables,...

CaroleJo, any and all advice is welcome, otherwise I wouldn't be posting on this board, I'd just be writing in a journal or something, right? :D I do need to reinforce that hunger isn't a bad thing. It isn't going to kill me. In fact, it will help me appreciate the food more! I like that "appetite i...

Jeanatte, thanks for your response. That's great that you've lost 5 lbs! It sounds like you've gotten to a good place at this point :) I'm also an emotional eater and it's one of the reasons I'm here. I need to have structure, but not feel deprived, and this seems like the best place for me to do th...

Hm...it hasn't been even an hour since my last post and...I've already screwed up. I was done with my lunch and sometimes if it doesn't get me to that satisfied point I can say to myself "well, you have a snack for later" but this time I said "must eat a lot now or else you'll die by the time 5 o cl...

Okay, it's still day 1 but if I want to be accountable, I feel like I can write more than once a day, right? So I had breakfast at 8:30 am and when I usually have lunch (between 12 and 12:30) I didn't. I did feel hunger (why am I so afraid of feeling hungry?) and I had some water to combat that. At ...

Jeanette, what times do you eat? Have you lost weight with this schedule?

Hi Everyone! I'm starting today (Tuesday, March 28, 2006) and I'm excited about the challenge. 21 days from now is April 18. I can do the 21 test, I know I can. My birthday is next Wednesday, so even though I believe that from what I read, your birthday can be an S-day, I dont want the whole week to...

Okay, okay, I'm going to try this! 21 days, right? I can do it. I'm starting today! I usually bring a "healthy brownie" (made with processed garbanzo beans instead of flour and oil, but definitely includes chocolate and brown rice syrup, so it's a sweet) for lunch but I didn't today so I can be on N...

Oh, and I have to say that I'm terrified of the 3 meals a day thing. I eat breakfast at 8:30, I get hungry for lunch around 12:30, and there's no way on earth I could get to dinner, which is usually between 7 and 8 depending on if I go to the gym, without eating something.

Hi Everyone, I'm intrigued by this diet but nervous to start it because i'm not sure it's "for me" Here's a bit about myself: I'm a female who is 5'4.5 and 145 lbs and work out enough that I have muscle and despite a bit og jigglyness, would not consider myself overweight. However, I do want to work...
