I'm still here. Life has been crazy. I haven't given up though. One day this will be my normal.

Lizbeth

Good luck Jibaholic. I've really been doing well. Not perfect, but really good. I've found cleaning up my meals and going veggie heavy has really helped. I've also realized that crunchy starchy carbs make me binge.

Hang in there.

Lizbeth

Yes, we can do this.

My kids are back in school and the routine is making it much easier to stick with three regularly scheduled meals. Summer time is tough.

I'm feeling really good about this.

Lizbeth

Yes, may this please be the last time I "come back". I haven't been doing well with my daily check-in, but I have been doing fantastic with No s.

The weekend is over. Back to n days. I'm actually happy to be back to n days. They feel better. My s days were no worse than any given day before I got back to no s, but definitely nothing resembling an n day. Being able to do what I wanted on the weekend makes the week ahead seem very manageable. H...

Lizbeth

Clearly I'm numerically challenged. I started this Monday.

Day 5 - Success

Cant even guess what the weekend will bring. I have no feelings about it either way right now. I'm meeting a friend for a 60 min run in the morning, so that's a great start to the weekend.

Thank you all for the welcome. It really is encouraging to know that there is support here, and that you are all really doing this too.

Lizbeth

Thanks r.jean. I really appreciate your taking the time to give me some advice. Just the support I need right now.

Day 1 - Success. Yay!

Lizbeth

I can't believe it's been seven years since I've been here, but my last post was in April of 2007. I'm guessing I found out shortly after that post that I was pregnant with my first child, who was born in December 2007. A girl. My son followed in 2010. I used no s to lose my baby weight both times, ...

Lizbeth

I haven't been here for a long time. In fact, I checked my posts, and it was April 2007. There was only one check in. In December of 2007 I gave birth to my daughter, and in 2010, my son. Four more years and here I am again. This is still the most sensible option to me, but I'm having trouble doing ...

Lizbeth

It's April. My all or nothing personality kicked in again in January. As soon as I slip up, I'm done. Why am I like that? I didn't entirely throw caution to the wind. I do whatever I want for a little while, then start some other stupid plan that I'm bound to fail. Anyway, here I go again. Back to s...

Lizbeth

AAAGGGGHHHHH! I'm so frustrated. I'm shocked at how little control I feel I have over my own actions. Why, when I tell myself I'm not going to do something, do I proceed to do that very thing. Well, I totally didn't do No-S over the holidays. Now I feel like a failure because each day I say I'm goin...

Lizbeth

I love the start of a brand new week. My s-days this weekend were very festive and I'm actually looking forward to five n-days in a row.

Lizbeth

:D Yesterday was my first full day back to No "S" officially. It was great. I had three decent sized, healthy, balanced meals and I was not hungry in the evening. Not that hunger is usually my problem; my problem is that I just like snacking in the evenings. Anyway, it was easier not to snack last n...

Lizbeth

I was really glad to read this post because I am a woman and I'm barely 5'2" and have sometimes thought this plan wouldn't work for me. Really I know that I just can't eat big meals, and that they should be made up of healthy foods. Also, s days totally cannot be a free-for-all for me. It was reassu...

Lizbeth

Ok, so it's been ages since I've checked in. Fortunately, I haven't let myself get totally out of control, and I'm still hovering around the same weight. But it's Christmas time in my house, and I know I need a plan or else ...... so I will enjoy my Christmas goodies on the weekends when I'm doing m...

Lizbeth

Visited with family for a few days this week. Tuesday was a success, Wednesday was not, and Thursday was also a success. Friday I was home again, but it was not a successful day. I have a really hard time on Fridays because I'm usually so tired. Why do I want to eat when I'm tired? Anyway, I don't f...

Day 10 - Saturday (S-Day) Had a great B-day on Friday. Although it was an s-day, cake and a beer were my only extras. What a classy dame. The Twix bar waited until Saturday. I really feel better on my N Days than my S Days. My stomach really likes three clean meals. But its still good to know that I...

Lizbeth

Day 9 - Friday - S-Day (my birthday)

Lizbeth

It's true, every time I open the fridge and see that chocolate bar I feel that I am in control.

Day 8 - Thursday - Success.

Lizbeth

I'm trying for the 21 Day Club, but I have a birthday coming up on a weekday. I think birthdays are s-days, so if I have birthday cake etc.... can I count this as one of my 21 days, or do I have to start over?

Lizbeth

Thanks Christi. Back at ya!

Day 7 - Wednesday - Success!!! Whoo hoo, one week in!

And last night my husband, who forgets, brought me home a Twix bar. They're my favourite. I am happy to say, it is sitting in my fridge, waiting for an S day.

All is well.

Lizbeth

Welcome Snail. Congrats on your first day. I'm new here too. I just wanted to let you know that I'm also doing this to hopefully put an end to obsessing about how and what I should eat. I really want it to work for me too. I decided I would give it at least a few weeks to become a habit, then I will...

Day 6 - Tuesday - Success!

I must retain water when I eat junk because my clothes are fitting better after only a few days.

Lizbeth

Day 5 - Monday - Success!

Lizbeth

Even though I've already reached my healthy weight, I found it's been just as much work to keep it off, maybe more because my motivation is not the same as when I could see the numbers dropping. So, I definitely have some non-number goals. 1) To stick with No S until it truly becomes a habit. 2) To ...

Lizbeth

Thanks Operababe and Gratefuldeb. It's great to be here. Day 4 - Sunday was an S day. S days really don't feel as great as No S days. I had terrible heartburn last night. I didn't even eat a lot, but I did eat later in the evening. I'm glad today is Monday and I don't have to think "Do I, or don't I".

Lizbeth

Day 3 - Saturday was an S day, but I still didn't snack after dinner. That's cool.

Lizbeth

Thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated.

Friday - Success (and I had friends over for the evening)

Lizbeth

First day yesterday - success!

Lizbeth

I love the No S concept. I've tried many diets to maintain a healthy weight. I did lose weight, and have managed to keep it off for a few years, but it's a constant struggle. I always go back to my regular way of eating, and my weight starts to creep up again. It's never more than a few pounds, but ...
