Well, Monday was a Fail for diet. But I reigned it in....held off in the afternoon, ended up having a cup of ice cream and a couple handfuls of chocolate chips later. Could have fired up a binge, as the WTH effect started to take over, but I didn't. So, I guess you could call the day red with a gree...

Well, by the end of the weekend, I was actually eating out of the pie pan. YIKES!!! :shock: :) NOTE TO SELF: Do not make another pie that in all likelihood you will be the only one eating it. :roll: But, I tell myself that it is impossible to fail on an S Day, so I will just marvel at how I could ea...

The more I think "diet", the worse I do. In my experience, if I just look at No S as a structure of when to eat (not WHAT to eat), I tend to relax a bit and quit obsessing about how well I'm doing, and in turn actually do better (with what foods I choose for each plate). But, that's just me - I tend...

This weekend has been........weird. It's like my body is saying "EAT!!! THIS IS THE TIME!!!!" And my brain is saying, "Nah, don't really want to." Usually I don't get to this state until a few weeks into regular N Days. NICE!!!! 8) I have had some treats today and a snack here and there, but I would...

Thanks for dropping by my thread. I have always noticed in your posts that you have "normal food" and coupled with exercise that seems to work just fine with your weight loss and "going down another notch on your belt". :) Makes sense. One cannot live on rabbit food, right? That being said - ENJOY y...

gk, regarding your post on amy's check in.... I was walking 4-5 miles every morning 2 years ago when my feet, ankles and hip started hurting so much, I went to an orthopedic doc, he x-rayed and found nothing so I cut back but still couldn't get it to feel right, so I quit all together for 3 months ...

I'll be a bit heavier if that's what it takes to eat candy." My intention was simply to follow No S for an entire year, with no other expectations... just to see what happens by the end of the year. I admit, a part of me hopes that the outcome is that I lose weight, but even if I don't... or even i...

I'm glad that you were able to find something that challenges you but doesn't keep you in constant pain! Me, too!

I spent the long last while - before No "S" - just eating because food was there or because I couldn't take the time to figure out what else I might want to do instead. Yes, No S really makes you think about your food choices. I remember a (long) while ago, after I had been successful for a couple ...

TUESDAY : Day - Success ; Evening - S Event (my anniversary) I would have really kicked myself if I gave in earlier this afternoon, when my S event was just hours away, so I'm SO glad I didn't! :) It was tougher today - the rain and gloomy weather probably didn't help. I was also feeling very slugg...
