Yes, it's two days after that; I'm back on the original transcription site (but being a lot more careful so as not to get rejections again!) plus found a couple of other places to work.
And even though today is another cloudy day, I'm feeling a lot less "SAD"!

Depressed but did not binge!
Last night, as well as most of today, I was depressed because I had had several files rejected at a site where I do online transcription. This brought my rejection rate up to the point where I am now blocked from doing proofreading and reviews, which paid the most money. So I was depressed about tha...

This may sound very old-fashioned, but... why keep any snacks at all at home ? Just don't buy them ! Sorry I didn't see this earlier to respond to it. I have two answers for you: first, not everyone in your home may be on board with your "No S" plan, so they are bound to want to keep their snacks a...

What if you are just physically not feeling well and don't want to eat a lot? For example, this morning: I'm recuperating from some emotional stress (family melodrama!) and woke up with a sore back (very obviously stress-related). I did go out and do my 14 minutes of exercise - a little shovelglove ...

The Would-Be Drum Majorette Move
OK, here's a move I came up with, because I was watching the classic movie musical "The Music Man" the other day: I hoist my (admittedly very lightweight) shovelglove into the air, and march around the back yard, pretending it's a baton and I'm the beautiful blonde ponytailed drum majorette, leading...

However, I also really need to do very basic balancing and stepping up and down type exercises...

Thank you, Whosonfirst and oolala53 ! oolala53 , oh yes, I am sure I ate more too. But ate in a non-No S fashion. In other words, snacking way more than I should have. Not that most my snacks were "unhealthy" per se - my favorite snacks were freshly popped (not bagged!) popcorn with a little grated ...

I enjoy reading and also watching some tv. I used to always have a snack when doing these activities. It was difficult at first to give up the snacks, but now, and for years, I only have hot tea, summer or winter. I come to enjoy settling down with it when I read or watch, just as much as the snack...

Of course reading is a treat in itself - no denying that. But there's also no denying that on a cold winter's day, it is absolutely heavenly to snuggle down under a warm comforter with a good book and a hot mug of cocoa bursting with marshmallows - is there? Of course, that's probably what the "S" d...

Hey everyone - I've been away for a while (since 2013, according to the list of my posts!) and am going to give the No S Diet another try. I think it's a great idea, but here's where I kept falling by the wayside last time: I am a voracious reader - all year round, but especially in the autumn/winte...

Hi! I was putting together our supper tonight and as usual when I'm cooking, I absent-mindedly sampled some of the ingredients - primarily the sharp cheddar cheese I was grating for the casserole!

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie. I've been a member of WW for over a year and at one point had lost almost 50 pounds. But I really hated doing the Points counting, so I hit a plateau, and now my weight is slowly creeping back up again. And as I also posted over on the Urban Ranger forum, I've got a touch ...
