For me a drink is never a snack, no matter when you have it. And anyway there's no reason you can't tailor things to suit you - it's your life and your body, you make the rules!

Hi and welcome Liz! I'm a total newbie to No S, just been doing this a couple of weeks but loving it so far. I don't have a lot to lose either - just come off WW and mostly looking to maintain, and heal my (really quite damaged) relationship with food. I'm finding No S is already helping to calm my ...

Day 16
No S: SUCCESS Exercise: SUCCESS Another good N day. Have to be extra specially good for just one more day this week because I have a lot of S days coming up - my birthday on Thursday then flying off on hols from Friday to Monday. Yikes! I am taking these as extra S days (because they are days I woul...

Day 15
Weekly Weigh In: 131.8 (up 0.2) No S: SUCCESS Exercise: SUCCESS Just about a perfect N Day today. It's almost a relief to be back to N after the weekend! Only gained 0.2 at my weigh in, which I'm really chuffed about because a) I ate LOADS this weekend and b) It's totm. Wow. This makes me think that...

It helps to know that I feel so much better during the week on the regular days. I totally agree. I'm almost finding the N days easier to deal with than the S days at the moment, but that's probably because I'm so used to restriction. Think it will take a while for my weekends to calm down. But for...

I totally agree about writing down food. I have done so much food journalling, tracking, pointing etc in the past that it's really good to live without these (self imposed) restrictions... I can see how it can be a really useful tool for some but I need a clean break, at least for now. Keep it up - ...

Day 14
No S: EXEMPT Exercise: EXEMPT Another S Day. Ate too much again but didn't binge. Didn't even really permasnack, just too much food overall. But 2 good things happened: 1. I didn't finish all the food on my plate at dinner, despite the fact that it was really good (tofu!!). I wanted it but realised ...

Day 13
No S: EXEMPT Exercise: EXEMPT Didn't feel like eating much for most of yesterday (probably due to the previous night's pizza-fest!) but by the end of the night I had still managed to overeat pretty well. Had a rare night on my own at home with my SATC box set, so there was a LOT of snacking on the s...

I can identify with that. Last night I ate rather a lot of pizza (too much?!) and today I don't feel like eating a lot, even though it's an S Day. I didn't even have breakfast till after 10am because I wasn't that hungry! In the bad old days (on ww and many other diets) I would have just thought "Ri...

We ordered a pizza for 2 (and garlic bread!). I knew when I started I was going to eat half the pizza but I took a few slices first then went b...

Day 11
No S: SUCCESS Exercise: SUCCESS Had 2 plates at lunch today but I'm still counting it as a success. This is because lunch was provided as part of a training day at work but the plates we were given to serve ourselves with were really small. Would have been rude to pile one really high so I decided (...

Ooooh, good luck with the monthly weigh-in! You're very brave! I'm terrible, I do an "official" weigh-in every Monday but I do hop on the scale for a sneaky peek in between sometimes as well! :oops: I think you're right though, if it's going to hold you back from committing fully to the plan then yo...

Day 10
No S: SUCCESS Exercise: SUCCESS Got stuck late at work again today, almost 8 hours between lunch and dinner which left me too hungry for my liking. I can't really push back lunch as I eat around 1pm, by which time my stomach is growling. Think I might keep some juice at work to tide me over times wh...

Hi Chris I know just what you mean, I have to be very careful about not snacking after drinking. Last night I had a beer before eating properly (very unusual, especially for a Monday but it was pub quiz) and it led to no good! I'm usually ok with one or two after eating though. Congrats on a good da...

You are enjoying this process and weight loss is not the only outcome you're reaching for! :D Seriously, I hope you do realise that this is true. I think I'm going to stick with the Monday weigh-ins for now, but only because I know I can pack on a LOT of weight in a month if I put my mind to it. Ac...

Beer?
I wonder if anyone can help... Is beer allowed on N Days? I mean just one (or two!) beers. And not every day. I assumed it was ok because it's not sweets, seconds or a snack, but now I'm not so sure? Sorry if the answer's in the book but I'm still waiting for my copy to be delivered! Thanks in advan...

Tobiasmom - Hello! Actually I have no idea about the beer question! Just assumed it was ok because it's not technically food. I also read on another thread that someone else was saving it for S days - now I'm worried! If I'm not allowed a beer or two during the week (especially on a Friday) that wo...
