I noticed this is an open group on Facebook. Open groups can be seen by friends. If you want to protect people's privacy a bit more it can be changed to a closed group. Only open groups show up on people's profile. If it is a closed group then only other group members can see if you are in the group...

Trying No S again. I have read some stuff on binge eating and have worked to get that under control (mostly). Great book: Brain over Binge. I need to get my weight under control but I need to do it without weighing myself (ironically). Scales suck. No S is a good plan for me. I'll be checking in per...

S day. Can't fail. However, I did have a binge at night. Unsurprisingly it was after a few drinks. I had a few beers with the significant other last night at home and proceeded to eat too much after they went to bed. Old habits die hard. I hope by documenting them here I am owning up and thus will e...

On second thought, I do think that I will tweak No S very slightly. Since I have a strong history of binge eating and binge eating is a very private activity done in total isolation, I fear succumbing to this on S days. I actually not only fear this, but based on my history know that it is more or l...

There basically little chunks of cheese. You can also get the fried at restaurants as a very unhealthy (but extraordinarily delicious) appetizer.

Time to try this out. I just re-started No S last Tuesday (April 26). I was successful every day except for last night. I have a history of binge eating (especially at night) and after relaxing with a few beers (it's Friday) I lost my self-control. I ate a plate of nachos, some Pirate's Booty cheese...

The No S diet helps replace the habit of binge eating with the habit of eating three meals a day. You are learning new rules. I have to confess to binge eating on S days, occasionally. However, I used to binge eat several times a week, up to 5 times! This is a major improvement. As I progress in my ...

To be fair-minded, it's definitely one of those "do what's best for you" issues (as so many things related to diet and health are!) Some people find that regular weighing is extremely helpful for them. But if the number on the scale freaks you out and leads to negative reactions and even more negat...

I don't weigh regularly. I figure that I'm trying to improve how I feel and how I look, not to cause a specific number to appear on a scale.
