I'm at the really tricky part of any attempt to change behavior. A couple of months in, and something goes wrong - in this case a few days of failure ( so called special circumstances), a horrendous binging weekend - I no longer drink so put me in a situation with food AND drink , and I eat everythi...

Things are going well - I have lost a reasonable amount of weight in the past few weeks, and really feel better. I have been able to crank up the exercise days - partly by (correctly) counting days where I am doing serious physical work. Today it was shoveling wet snow! My S days are more reasonable...

This past weekend of S days was a better example of what I want. A few treats, the odd snack - but no full on gluttony: quarts of ice cream consumed at midnight, full family size bags of chips eaten on the way home from the store, you know the thing. And then this week, back to pure no-S. Not gettin...

This topic of eating like our childhood/parents is something that I love about no-S. Growing up ( in Scotland) we certainly had candy on occasions but snacks were just not something that featured in our diet. And although sometimes there were "seconds" I think both seconds and firsts would easily ha...

My first S weekend was, for me, an example of how to abuse the idea of S's. Especially on Saturday. I had a party to go to in the evening so to avoid stuffing myself at the party I had a normal dinner with the kids - and then went to the party, which was REALLY boring and since I don't drink ( anymo...

Kathleen, Looks like your getting great advice and support from a bunch of folks already. I did notice in your last long post that one issue you had was over-eating at dinner. Here are a couple of ways that I have used to help with that: 1) Don't have extra food available - don't buy too much, don't...

When I falter on No-S, it is with snacks as you mention. With teenage boys there are NO seconds available! What works is 1) Good solid breakfast - for me that is a mix of whole grains, etc - complex stuff that stays with me. 2) Water 3) Not having snacks around when I am most vulnerable. I used to m...

Controlled weekends maybe the answer for me
After some frankly disappointing weeks on a sloppy version of no-S, I made some better progress in the last week. What I changed was 1) Corrected the main weekday issue I had - late night snacking when I was making the lunches for all of us in the evening. 2) Getting to bed earlier - which helps wit...

Well I have found getting back to No-S to be more of a struggle than I thought. I found myself kidding myself on the one-plate issue ( those two egg rolls were not on any plate were they !!). Plus late night snacking as I make my family's lunches is a problem. Result, pounds on, not pounds off. At l...

I am a daily - first thing in the morning - weigher. If you do this you will see daily variation - which you can ignore - but you will also see progress. I have found that I can really get to know certain behaviors and not get disappointed by the odd results. For example - crank up / restart exercis...

Back, ready to go again ! After a couple of months of off the program ( really since the Halloween candy started showing up in the office ), and now carrying 15 pounds more, I am back ready to focus on the no-S program. This is not a panicky new-years thing - I have been planning to do this since ri...

Not exactly a daily check in - but here is the latest . Doing well, really well. It is amazing how habit forming snacking can be, may be especailly so for folks (like me) with an addictive nature/history. The good news is that the opposite is also true - give it a couple of weeks and I have lost the...

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I can't wait until next week and things return to regular schedule - this week has been kind of hectic. Habitcal is great for a number of reasons - one of which I can clearly see that after a few non-weekend S days, I have a hard time getting back on track. Need to work ...

MDScot's Check in
Hi, I have been No-S -ing for a few months now, and I was doing pretty good until I went on a two plus week vacation. Since then I have had a hard time doing this as well I as I did before. SO - I am going to start to log in here in an effort to freshen things up and provide better motivation to kee...

Just back from 2 1/2 weeks on vacation ( nice I know). I planned on all of these days as being S days, and was mostly sensible - apart from my intake of candy and sweets which steadily increased over the two weeks. It has taken me almost a week to get back on the no-sweets part of the diet, which wa...
