Everyday Systems

So, I've completed week two and it is getting easier. I ate some junk this weekend for sure and today especially. Not a lot of it though and cooked a dinner without carbs to kind of offset the carbs at lunch. I also ate a couple of cookies and thought to myself: I can eat more but I don't really wan...

Oh no, I didn't throw it away. I put it in the fridge for the next night.

Wow! 3 years? I'm on week two. Has it done what it's supposed to do?

Success. I swam even though I didn't want to, and ate a fairly big dinner but no seconds. Today was o.k., but tonight was hard to stick to this. It's my usual time for caving in. 2 weeks and out. Hopefully, 2 weeks and still going this time.

One of the most important things I took from the NO-S book was (paraphrase), a little hunger isn't going to kill us. We will do just about anything to ward off being uncomfortable, but we don't know real hunger. It's o.k. to be hungry before a meal. This has gotten me through quite a few "hunger" ep...

I had an extra long day today and I get VERY hungry around 5:00 p.m. I had several more hours to work so I drank a glass of 2% milk to ward off the hunger. Then, because what I pulled out to cook at home was going to take too much time (it was late), I stopped and got teriyaki chicken and vegetables...

Yes, not being driven by food would be nice. I'm working on it. HA!

Successful, but WHOA Mondays are hard after having some freedom!

Welcome KL. Well, you can eat that on an S Day. Tomorrow - do your best to not stray. I have the same challenge ahead of me tomorrow.

I figured but thought I missed something. Thanks!

I was reluctant to post my failure. I was even reluctant to mark it on the HabitCal, but did. It really doesn't make me feel bad. In fact, it kind of makes me laugh. A glaring Red square amid lots of success so far. I was able to see the successes outnumbered the failure. A good thing. Oolala thanks...

The good news is I swam in the morning and it was a fantastic day. I went to an art and wine festival. I tasted about 2 small glasses of different wines throughout the day. I ate a very light lunch. I did share some caramel corn with my friend, but only ate about 1 normal handful. In the past I woul...

I would mark it as a sweet. Just say NO next time and move on, and move yourself away from the temptation. I've failed too. Eventually I'll get it right. Keep trying!

Since the membership is free - we're satisfied.

Hello, I'm new to No-S and was very successful for 4 days. I've come to the realization that I view Friday Night as the beginning of my weekend. So, I was successful all-day Friday, then went out with friends. As the evening wore on the late night snacks came out and I caved. I'm all for saying NO T...

I'm also new to this. A week in. I tried it once and failed so I'm looking for this time to stick. Posting seems to be fun and helpful.

Well, I did well all day, went to a concert then went for a drink after the concert. I did great at first and stuck to the drink but then people all around me were ordering food and I caved. I shared nachos (these weren't my dinner but a snack). And I felt TOO full after eating them, as well as guil...

I enjoyed reading the Times article. I don't have diabetes, but I don't want it either. I am overweight, mostly active but not active enough. I've recently started exercising along with the NO S diet. Our dog developed diabetes and she wasn't overweight. It was terrible to see what that disease did ...

I got the day of the appreciation wrong last night so that helped me stay on track. Hooray for small favors but it was kind of embarrassing. They did offer me a brownie for which I said "no thank you!" Day 4 Today: Success. I didn't get all of my lunch in due to a time crunch. I got pretty hungry by...

But I have an appreciation to go to tonight. That will be a test.

Eating Salmon, rice and squash for dinner. If I can resist the cookie or cake at the appreciation, I'll be successful.

No exercise today. Boo!

Again, ate a good breakfast, ate an early lunch, and held off for dinner. No Snacks. I also exercised. I think today was a little harder than yesterday but I toughed it out.

Day Two: Success!

Thanks Reinhard. Good to hear from you. I enjoyed your book very much. Down to earth. Straight forward, no nonsense. Thanks for writing it.

I'm on the road, eating the dust of the wagon, trying to catch up to the wagon. I have one hand ON the wagon!

I'm new to this. Day One Down! No Snacks, No Sweets, No Seconds Plus I exercised. I eat an early breakfast and an early lunch and a late dinner so I was pretty hungry at 3:00 pm.

Thanks! I'll check into the Daily check in I guess after a successful day tomorrow!

Hello, I'm new to No S and to this forum. In fact, I don't join forums much at all so forgive me if I breach the etiquette with a new post. I've read the book. I did it for two weeks, liked it, and then fell off the wagon. I'm going to start again tomorrow! Let's hope for a more long term success. M...
