Ok, that was a little hard to read/admit to myself but all true. I'm going to be 41 in two months and I think it is just unrealistic to try and fit into my old clothes. I just have to keep telling myself this because for years and years I just believed it was my fault I couldn't lose weight and ther...

Roxy, thanks for the support and your kind words as always. I am rooting for you too and honestly it does help to get rid of the too tight clothes along with the diet head.

No more food guilt for me!
Yesterday I was feeling particularly binge like. It is my normal pattern to do well (green) for 4 days and then fall off the wagon but I didn't. I really didn't! Now I didn't make the best choices yesterday as I had lasagna for lunch and I normally stay away from white pasta and for dinner in a rush...

Finally got rid of the too tight jeans! Can we say relief?
Well I finally put my too tight jeans in the give away bag. These particular jeans were the ones I met my husband in. They were the jeans I got back into after my first child was born - it took a year but I got back into them and for the past year I just can't get back into them and every morning I ...

It happens, dust yourself off and get back on track when you feel...

I actually took my S day today and I didn't go wild. I'm amazed at myself.

We are in the same boat!
From reading a lot of posts here is what I can tell about No-S. We all love No-S and we all believe in it but at the same time many of us struggle with not losing fast enough and going crazy with S days or "falling off". At the end of the day even though no-s is a lifestyle and is a much easier plan...

I totally get the philosophy of S days and it makes sense. However, I am not very interested in them... not because of diet head or that I am trying to lose weight faster or because I can't handle them (YET, 1 day I am will) but rather because I'm not feeling I NEED a treat. For me I'm just thrilled...

Does anyone here do No-S without S Days?
I tried a floating S day and it was a full out disaster. I planned my treat but it turned into an all out crazy day. I really, truly cannot do S days and I don't even want to attempt another one.
So I'm wondering if anyone here just does no-s everyday without S days.
