Today, hard earned but ........ Green!!!!!!

Ani33

Well the weekend was awful I just ate and ate and ate for no reason, and I weighed myself this morning :roll: why I dont know and I have gained 6 lbs - seriously!! So anyway that is the past this is the present and I am going for a green week, plus some exercise because I feel really unfit at the mo...

Hi snapdragon (I love you name)
Hope you enjoyed your s days, good luck for today

Ani33

Right as inspired by sweetness here is my list of reasons why I want to be healthier. 1. I will be slim, fit and healthy 2. I will be a more energetic, fun mum to my boys 3. I want to be at peace with food 4. I will feel more confident in myself 5. I will be able to buy/wear nice clothes that I like...

I had bulimia for years, I had some counselling for it, to be honest it didn't help me much but I'm not a great talker either. I did read brain over binge a while ago and I found it very good. Take care x. I know how crap it feels, I binged yesterday, and I feel awful today mentally and physically:(

Ani33

Well done on a lovely green first week, enjoy your s days:)

Ani33

Yippeeee well done on your green week, a great achievement!!! Enjoy your weekend

You're right snapdragon!

Ani33

Thank you sweetness, you are right, I wrote a similar list a few months ago I'm off now to re write one.thanks for your support, I'm determined to make this work but I know I need to be patient too, in the past if something isn't working instantly I'm off, onto the next great plan. But I know no s i...

Today was another fail, it started when a lady asked my when I'm due - I'm not pregnant so that wasn't a great start to my day!!! I just got fed up and felt oh Sod it if I look so fat what is the point.... Anyway there is a point because I want to be slim and healthy and at peace with food so I'm go...

Day6 - fail:(
I kind if started feeling sorry for myself, I was at work and tired and I weighed myself - not a good idea for me. Anyway what happened today is not important it is what happens from now and that is me dusting myself off and hoping back on my no s journey!!!

Ani33

Im new too but Im thinking of not weighing, at least for the moment. The scales alway throw me off, If I like what I see it seems a license to overeat in celebration and if I dont I eat in self pity. I plan to weigh in December, but if I get there and I dont feel I need to know I wont bother

Ani33

Day 5 Success Another hectic day, but I met some challenges and overcame them, I went for coffee and declined all food :) B: toast x 1, shreddies and a satsuma L: soup and a roll with salad and turkey D: scrambled eggs and toast (2) I have a bit of a bread obsession at the minute hopefully it will w...

Ani33

Welcom back sarah, hope you emjoy your new venture with No S

Ani33

Your food sounds yum sweetness, I would love to visit mexico one day. Is it hot there now? You are absolutely flying on this 21 day challenge! I really like your smily face idea it is very visual!

Ani33

Sounds great sweetness! Day 4 SUCCESS wow today was a busy day, but that made it easier too in a way, although usually if Im busy especially on a work day and I dont have the kids I usually 'treat' myself to some chocolate. Well not today! B- Toast (2) L- ham sandwich and potato and leek soup and 2 ...

Ani33

Happy Birthday (im 35 too

) you are doing really fab with this No S business!

Ani33

Thanks for such an inspiring post. I have 3 boys all under 4 and Im busy so this diet is perfect, otherwise i eat tiny meals and crap all day. I feel better and more energetic and Im confident I can lose weight this way. Congrats on baby number 5 - I come from a family of 5 kids it was great fun!

Ani33

Day 3 today (first N day) I feel great and really positive, wow there is so much wisdom on these boards it is inpiring. I have a history of bulemia and more recently binge eating and reading how people have overcome any type of disordered eating is what is appealing more than anything! But this also...

Ani33

Thank you so much for your comments and I'm going to take your advice, I'd rather have 2 s days than 2 more fails, and that is likely at the weekend (being totally honest) especially as my MIL is taking our three boys for a sleepover (never happened before, or likely to again). So here goes two S da...

Ani33

Day 2 fail :( I was having a great day really enjoying it then I had a nibble of a biscuit - then a mini binge, but I've reigned myself in and the rest of the day can still be a success. Im Going to have two N days over the weekend and call yesterday and today my s days I know this is advised agains...

Ani33

Day 1 fail:( I won't even go into it, I'll start my 21day challenge tomorrow instead.

Ani33

I just found this bit and it sounds like a great idea, I'm going to start with a 21 day challenge. It's my Sons first birthday on the 22nd Nov but I don't have any other midweek events until then, plus I would love to feel a little slimmer for his party in the 24th. Im not going to weigh in the scal...

Ani33

hello Sweetness, Yesterday went well, it was hard to stop at the end of meals and not have something extra but I did it and Im sure it will get easier (thats what I tell myself anyway). I also went out to see a band last night and didnt eat when I came in even after a few drinks so that was a big ac...

Ani33

Thanks for the welcome, so far so good I had a hearty breakfast at about 9 am and I'm still ok, prob have lunch at one then dinner at six. I am going to see a band tonight so will have a glass of vino but no more food:)
How are u getting on today?

Ani33

Right here we go, I know this is the way I want to eat for life and I know Ill like my life better when I stop thinking about food and weight so much! I also know the first little while is the hardest but it will be worth it. So here goes day 1 - 3 meals - No snack No Sweets No Seconds.

I really like this

Ani33

You are binging because youR brain is freaking out after the strict diet and thinks you are heading into a famine, and it has got into the habit of driving you to over eat. Try this when you get an urge to binge, send your primal brain some love but ignore its desires, after all it believes it is he...

Ani33

This is really interesting, I have three boys two toddlers and a baby. I never bring snacks for the toddlers unless I know we will be out for lunch. They are used to not snacking and eat really well at meals. However my friends look at me in horror when my kids ask them for some of their snacks, my ...

Ani33

You can do this. my daughter is bulimic, and is doing sooooooo well. I know you can do this. The hardest part is telling people in the first place. So, you have told us. What you need now are displacement activities. My daughter has then written down. She picks one appropriate to the time. The firs...

Ani33

Sorry to hear you are struggling. I think professional help sounds like a great idea. Best of luck.

I had bulemia for ten years and I still have binge/purge emotional eating issues sometimes. Im new to no S and so far my S days are tough but Ill persevere and see how they go for now.

Ani33

Sounds like a lovely trip to look forward to, and yes I agree goals are good!! Best of luck, and congrats on your anniversary

Ani33

I agree, I tried every diet under the sun, and then I found intuitive eating. I thought Id found my answer, I loved it initially, but then it started to go wrong. THere was too many rules - eat only when hungry, eat slowly, eat sitting down, stop when satisfied, stock up on junk - well this was neve...

Ani33

I wouldnt worry about taking the toast up front. When you are finished your meal you can feel rightous saying no more for me thank you - im full. While everyone else picks at seconds and thirds. You'll end up eating less than them probably and certainly not looking or being greedy.

Ani33

Hello and welcome! Good Luck, you'll love it!

Ani33

Welcome back - Enjoy!!!

Ani33

Very best of luck!! I'm the same I've been tormenting myself the last few years with diet after diet and battering my self esteem feeling like a failure. I'm focusing on improving my habits and making peace with food.

Ani33

I plan a nice drink in the afternoon, especially if dinner is going to be late. Ill mix some fruit juice with sparkling water and add ice and a straw - it helps me get over the hump. Ive also noticed from the time I start to feel hungry another two or three hours I still feel hungry, not ravenous or...

Ani33

Well done nosnacker - hard won indeed, but you did win which was brilliant when it was so tough. Im trying to think like that too, If I lose only one or two pounds a month it will still make such a difference say by christmas next year, and the alternative is gaining Im pretty sure.

Ani33

Last night I dreamt I was binging, and unlike a real binge I was enjoying every bite. This was very like when I gave up smoking I contantly dreamed about smoking. Im taking this as very positive - not like Im addicted to binging more like my body is saying farewell to it, even if it might miss it fo...

Ani33

Hello! Im new too, this is my second week and Im very like you, sick of me and sick of dieting and getting nowhere. No S is my answer Ive decided, im 100 % comitted and I dont care how long it takes to get to goal, learning to enjoy food and moderation seems more important right now. It was hard yes...

Ani33

Well done, Im in my first week too and I too feel great - as you say it feels like you are being kind to yourself - well done!!!

Well day one done and I feel great! I had three hearty but not huge meals and nil else:)
