2 successes in a row - particularly pleased about yesterday as I work late on a Wednesday and usually come home and eat whatever I can get my hands on.

Hello, your dog is SO cute!

Swarah

I've eaten more fruit and veg today than usual - it's just what I fancied. It's now 4pm and I'm pretty hungry. This is the point I'd usually be reaching for a junk food fix but I've decided to embrace my hunger and use it to motivate me to cook a really nice dinner. Oh bum - after all that, I ate a ...

Breakfast: fruit and fibre cereal with a banana mixed in, eaten comedically slowly (I'm training myself to stop bolting my food, a habit which I got into after having my first child 28 years ago and finding myself too busy to eat slowly) Lunch: ham and salad sandwich, packet crisps, cup-a-soup (the ...

You can use this to your advantage. Stop, forgive yourself (you're only human) and make a decision to try again tomorrow. If you throw in the towel you're reinforcing a sense of failure and defeat. If you move on with forgiveness you're doing the exact opposite. Be kind to yourself - you're the only...

I have marmalade on my toast on N days

Swarah

Breakfast: Fruit
Lunch: Fruit
Dinner: Gnocchi with ham, mushroom and cheese sauce plus piece crusty bread and butter

Swarah

Yesterday's IF experiment went really well, but woke up really hungry today so think in the longer term this won't work (!) so today:

Breakfast: bowl muesli
Lunch: ham and gherkin sandwich and packet crisps
Dinner: spaghetti bolognese

Swarah

Have decided to experiment with intermittent fasting, basically eating all my calories in one (large) main meal. So, today's check-in is just:

Dinner: bbq chicken and pork, salad and rice

Swarah

Breakfast: 2 nectarines and 2 tangerines
Lunch: handful cherries, piece cheese, ham, olives

Swarah

I'd love to join in too, please :) - I'm trying to lose some weight before I go on holiday on 7th August - I've got about 40+ pounds to lose altogether so intend to carry on, well, forever really! 1 green :) 2 green :) 3 green :) 4 green :) 5 S 6 S 7 green :) 8 green :) 9 green :) 10 green :) 11 NWS...

Swarah

Swarah

Thank you! I'm SO enjoying this!

Swarah

I have decided to weigh in once a week now after my initial mega weight loss (Saturday morning seems ideal and hopefully will give the most encouraging numbers!). Breakfast: 2 weetabix, semi-skimmed milk and milled linseeds Lunch: cheese, beetroot and salad cream sandwich Dinner: salmon fillet, saut...

Swarah

I agree, my mealtimes had become this bits I crammed in between snacking. Not the healthiest or most fulfilling way to eat!

Swarah

I've done No S before and joined this forum a few years ago originally, but previously never stuck to it long enough for it to become habit (despite my clothes feeling looser every time I tried). Anyway, with a beach holiday booked for 6 weeks time and weighing 3 stone (42lbs if you don't do stones)...

Swarah

Breakfast: pbj on 2 slices toast
Lunch: pizza, cheesy garlic bread, chicken wings, salad (we hit the hut)
Dinner: Steak pie, carrots, peas, mashed potato, gravy then cherry crumble and custard (small portions of everything - has my stomach shrunk, I wonder?!)

Swarah

Hi, thank you

Yes he's pretty gorgeous, isn't he?!

Swarah

An unbelievable 7lbs down since Tuesday! However, I think I'll stop the regular weighing in because obviously I cannot maintain this rapid loss and don't want to dishearten myself when the scales slow down (which is probably from now on). I think this massively illustrates how my weight gain is down...

Swarah

Many thanks Linda

Swarah

Erm - I appear to have lost 6lbs in 3 days! Not sure how that works (water weight?) but I'm utterly delighted!

Breakfast: ham, cheese and vegetable omelette
Lunch: bowl of strawberries
Dinner: McD's BCO meal

Swarah

Breakfast: strawberries and grapes
Lunch: cheese and beetroot sandwich, packet quavers, tangerine
Dinner: roast chicken, oven chips, greek salad

Swarah

Haha! He's peeping! I probably had food. His ears are sometimes up sometimes down and sometimes one of each! He's half collie, quarter lab and quarter rottie so goodness knows what they'll do eventually (he's only 5 months old).

Swarah

Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs on 2 slices oatmeal toast
Lunch: leftover pasta and greek salad from yesterday's dinner
Dinner: butter chicken with rice ready meal plus a turkey escalope

Swarah

Breakfast: 2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk
Lunch: 2 soft white rolls with hummus and ham
Dinner: homemade chicken and bacon pasta bake with greek salad

Swarah

Reminder to self: check in for the next 6 weeks; don't cheat (you're only cheating yourself blah blah blah.....); don't believe the cognitive distortions; reward yourself (not food) each week; 6 weeks to Majorca - this will mean the difference between bikini or nokini; whatever happens, remember I l...

Day 4 - yep - did it again!

Swarah

Day 3 - Success!

Day 2 - Success

We pick up our new rescue dog in 10 days. Then there'll be NO excuse not to get moving!

Swarah

Thank you Hoeka.

Feeling very pleased with myself today! I'm trying to listen to my natural appetite and stop the all-day-long grazing that has been my habit for such a long time. I know this works and makes such total sense. And I think the daily check in is a great idea!

Swarah

Here goes, hope this helps me! (after I failed last time - bumcakes

)

Day 1 - SUCCESS

Swarah

If I eat breakfast I feel hungry again before lunch. If I don't eat breakfast my natural hunger usually lets me know I'm hungry around lunchtime. On the times I do eat breakfast I usually have to force it down so I just don't bother with it the vast majority of time.

I'm 43

Hi Joan - I work until 9pm on 2 days a week. I try to have my lunch as late as possible. Inevitably I am pretty hungry by the end of the evening, but I've been telling myself, 'you may be hungry now, but you WILL eat tonight'. That, and plenty of water keep me going. As for evening snacking - I use ...

Swarah

Good for you! I'm only 6 days in but already feeling so much better. No more heartburn and I swear my clothes are feeling looser already

Swarah

An echo from me about all that's been said in this post. Also worth mentioning may be about what would happen in 2 years time if you didn't eat like this? I know from my own track record that I'd just get bigger and bigger and more unhappy about my lack of control. That thought alone makes up for th...

Hi Graham, for me it's that my 'natural' shape by default is slim. I was always slim as a child and younger woman and its only by constantly overeating that I now weigh at least 40lbs more than I'd like. Some people suit extra weight and it sits in an evenly distributed layer on their bodies (just l...

Swarah

Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to No S, but had resolved to do something similar by myself. I decided (this weekend) that I was going to stop eating between meals, except for fruit. So I googled something like 'not eating between meals' and happened upon the No S Diet. Well, talk about a lightbul...
