Everyday Systems

it's been a while... i am still no s-ing. i have not had any failures! friday, sat and sunday in newport... some minimal snacking on olives and nuts and one brownie all weekend... but tons of eating out with my family in town. still working on eating until i am comfortable and not til the food is go...

After completing two weeks of No S, I have come to the realization that I really have not experienced physical hunger for most of my life. All my snacking kept me full and prevented me from feeling hungry for my actual meals. Food is tasting much better to me... and all of my Procrastineating (that'...

monday turned into my first failure day... i ended up eating 8 rice cakes and almost a whole bag of craisins. i think i ate something else too. i had not been feeling well and hadn't eaten all day. then had a toasted english muffin with pb and j and just rested on the couch watching old movies. that...

it's monday funday... yesterday was granny's 91st bday. i made oatmeal for brekkie with peaches and almonds. my aunts are chefs so i knew we'd be having a bevy of delicious eats... there were a ton of chips, pit, hummus, crudites etc which i didn't eat. i surprised myself... it just didn't seem that...

friday: hmmmmm, oh yeah, i remember. it was only yesterday. my memory is getting terrible. i had a light brekkie because i was having lunch at the pub with an old friend. 2 scoops whey protein powder from trader joe's mixed with almond milk this powder is sooooo good to me. i just love it! went to t...

yay. another day! i was on set today with a bunch of egg sausage sandwiches but i had my oatmeal for brekkie so i just drank water and had some coffee. lunch was half a pastrami sandwich and chicken rice soup. din din was greek yogurt with peaches and almonds with a drizzle of honey. i need veggies!...

hahahaha! i love being called brilliant! and being quoted! i guess i was too busy eating to ever come up with a name for what i was doing!

i have been doing no s for about a week now, and i have realized how much time i spent snacking before... in order to avoid/put off/ignore... pretty much everything from cleaning to organizing to exercising to drawing and writing. not snacking and obsessing about food really frees up a lot of time. ...

did fine yesterday... even with walking up to the pub to meet my girlfriends. had a glass of wine and split a burger, fries and salad with my friend. i think i normally would have eaten all of that myself. i was really hungry before meeting up with them but i had a glass of water and just reminded m...

started on thursday... we were filming an episode of the food dude that day (yeah, i work on a cooking show now and then)... we were filming the nom nom truck, a truck that travels around la serving vietnamese sandwiches. i ate breakfast that morning at about 10 am and despite how starving i was i d...

it is great to get so much feedback! thank you! i also love knowing what other women consider their "fighting weights"... especially petite ones! does anyone remember that insane guideline that stated "100 lbs for the first 5 feet and add 5 lbs for each inch thereafter"???? i spent my teens thinking...

hi! glad to see there are some other shorties :) maybe we can have a little group of petite gals to help support each other! i am on my second day and feeling good and much more in control. food just tastes so much better when you're hungry! and when i eat only when i am hungry, i don't feel guilt a...

thank you! much appreciated!

i am new... can anyone tell me what vanilla and eat stop eat mean? or point me in the direction of a thread that explains them? i am not fluent in no s language yet

our plights sound similar. i am beginning no s today so that i may break the cycle you described in your post... best of luck to you and to me!

i want to introduce myself... i stumbled upon the no s diet yesterday, and i am beginning today. i am 32 years old and been hovering about 15 lbs above my ideal weight almost my entire adult life. i have done and tried it all. even phen/fen! wow, i got really thin and felt like i was having a heart ...
