I went just a tad crazy this weekend. I'm going to try to do better on my future "S" days. Also, I've been thinking about improving on my "N" days, as well. I've been eating some quite calorie dense foods (no more counting, but don't need to count to know that I'm not eating too much of certain food...

Ann_48

Amy, I've enjoyed reading all the posts in your journal. I'm 100% with you on wanting to finally find peace with food and with my weight, no matter where No S takes me.

Let's go GREEN this week!

Ann_48

Amy, I think he lost a lot of his viewers on them. When it turns out that Alex wanted to go into rehab finally, he made a comment that went something like this, "Everyone kept telling me to give up on this family, that I was wasting my time. But here is the reason I stuck with them..." and so on.. D...

Ann_48

I'm glad you all had a fun party!

Here's to a new week of going GREEN!

Ann_48

Glad you enjoyed the day!

Ann_48

Saying a prayer for you. Keep remembering that God is in control.

Ann_48

Zippadee, Thanks for stopping by! It's been a fabulous weekend so far. I'm hoping yours is the same! :D Deb, Thank you for the article. Very interesting. I just figured I was craving the food for energy because of the fatigue that comes with TOM. I do believe the info about the increase in metabolis...

Ann_48

Love it!

Ann_48

I was wondering if you have another room in your house where you can hide it away in a closet? That way you wouldn't have to worry about it bouncing around. But if you're worried about digging it out often, the car might be a better choice. I am finally getting to the point where I don't step on the...

Ann_48

Welcome Amy. I am new to this, too. Here's to a great second half of the month!

Ann_48

Thank you for your perspective on the binging. That's interesting about the 500 calories, first I've heard of it. :) Yes, I sure do remember Dr. Phil. I still watch from time to time. He kinda lost me with the Dr. Phil Family, though. lol I do agree with that quote from him, though. So I appreciate ...

Ann_48

After going for two more days with fatigue and cravings and getting past it, I decided to go back and again change my "sick" day back to "failure". If I could withstand the past two days, then I should have been able to get past Wednesday also. I'm going to have to quit giving in and using TOM as an...

Ann_48

You're strong to pass up the thin mints. Keep it up!

LOL about the scales. I don't blame you one bit!

Ann_48

Zippadee, I wouldn't consider a smoothie a sweet because everything added to it is healthy stuff, pretty much. Most of the sweetness in a smoothie comes from the fruit, itself. Just my two cents. :) I wouldn't worry about the fast food. Once in a while won't hurt you any. I crave a McDouble now and ...

Ann_48

KL, Looking forward to seeing you back on Monday.

Congrats on day 43!

Ann_48

Thank you Renee, much better as I type this!

Tobiasmom, Welcome aboard!

Ann_48

I'm glad you're not being too hard on yourself. Like you said, you still ate better than if you hadn't been doing NoS, so there is a huge plus! To have made it to 30 days is a great streak, I think!

Ann_48

Your breakfast sounds delicious. WTG on a great day!

Ann_48

Going strong on Day 36th! Woo Hoo!!!

Ann_48

KL-Good luck with the Vanilla-NoS! You're going so strong that I'm sure you'll do it!

Ann_48

Thanks Y'all. Yes, I love the habitcal. I still need to fill mine out for yesterday. Thanks for all the support! You're the best! I filled in the monthly challenge as a "failure", then went back and changed it to S-day (sick day) because it's TOM and I was fatigued yesterday and having out of contro...

Ann_48

I finally have the habitcal figured out. I've been clicking the wrong thing all this time. I feel like such a dummy! I've been clicking on "mobile habitcal webapp" instead of "Edit your calendar". Well, no wonder it wasn't working, huh? :shock: :) I got it going just now and made one for NoS and one...

Ann_48

Renee, I can't agree more about napping when we're tired. My worst binges have been when I'm feeling tired all over, so I've learned to just rest to try to get past it.

I also love your chop stick idea. I may have to buy some of those and try that with the popcorn. Thanks for the tip!

Ann_48

WTG on giving up the PB brownie. So inspiring to see that changes like this can happen! That's awesome!

Ann_48

I'm with you on going to bed early. It sure helps avoid the munchies. Here's to another GREEN day!

Ann_48

KL, You're doing so great! While I am not vegan/vegetarian, I love reading your menu for each day. You really do eat well!

Ann_48

Hi Deb, I'm hoping you had a fabulous start to a new week! You are doing fantastically! Keep it up! I couldn't get habitcal to work, but I am using a paper calendar and stars here at home. I love the visual of it! Have a wonderful week!

Ann_48

Thanks y'all! I'm really excited to have it. I hardly found the time to crack it open yesterday, so flittered around the chapters some, but I hope to find a little more time to actually read today.

Happy Easter!

Ann_48

Good Morning Deb. WOW! WTG on the 1 hr. - 4 miles! Nothing to sneeze at, for sure! :) I read your list of foods and honestly, it doesn't look like much to me, especially for an S day! I think you did great! From my understanding of what I've read so far, we may want to eat more in the beginning, but...

Ann_48

Woo Hoo! My book arrived today!

Ann_48

NoSnacker, Let me add my congrats on the 21 days, too!!! That's so wonderful! WTG!

Ann_48

Oh my gosh! I think my adrenaline just jumped for joy when I saw how much you've lost in a month! Woo Hoooo!!!!!! Congratulations!!! Now I can hardly wait for my weigh in on the last day of the month. I'm doing a happy dance with you this morning! AWESOME! I love "Grandma Style"!!! hehehe Thanks abo...

Ann_48

ZippaDee, Chocolate balls/truffles..it's all yummy! :D Your milk and cookies sound lip smackin' good, too! :) Deb, I missed your first comment from this morning. I was wondering why it said I had two messages, but I only saw the one after my last post. Seems we had posted at the same time! lol Enjoy...

Ann_48

Thank you, Deb. It was your pretty flower avatar that inspired me to look for a pretty avatar this morning. That one was fitting with my mood this morning.

Ann_48

Yayyyyyyyyyyy, It's S-DAY!!!

Two warm cinnamon rolls and a cup of coffee for breakfast this morning. Oh my, how I love this way of eating!

Ann_48

KL, I think you need one of those little picnic plate "tents" to put over your plate at the dinner table and let the family know that only you have rights to lift that tent!

Ann_48

I'm with you, Easter is a holiday, so it's a-ok to enjoy guilt free peeps!

Ann_48

Deb, I am with you on eating as close to my "times" as possible, no more than within 30 minutes is my rule because I know if I eat too early, I won't make it. I also am early to bed and that really helps.

You ate great yesterday!

Ann_48

Butterfly, I'm with Renee. You can do this! Believe in yourself and say NO to the cravings. Tell yourself that YOU are in control. This might be a cheat, but I love a Dr. Pepper 10 when I have a major craving. It really helps pull me through it. You can do it, I promise you can. Just claim it! Renee...

Ann_48

If you come up with a spiffy name, let me know. I keep calling it the "No S Way"..I hate that dreaded four letter word! Have a fantastic day!

Ann_48

Oh man, that is my favorite candy of all time. The Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles are my favorite! They also have a "milk" filled one. It's a light colored cream inside. Oh my word! There were "Christmas" boxes of them on sale right after Christmas at our grocery store for only .99 a box. I bought th...

Ann_48

What a keepsake for your daughter. She'll love it. It is a lot of work, I'll admit. We made a DVD for my FIL after he passed away. It was beautiful though and several family members requested copies of it because many of the pictures were some they never knew about or hadn't seen in years. Good luck...

Ann_48

Deb, we must have been on the same wavelength last night because I had popcorn for dinner, too. But I had one slice of pizza with mine, as well. Not a nutritious choice, but it got rid of that craving for it. Before this new way of eating, I would usually eat popcorn at least every other day, if not...

Ann_48

Thanks for the tip on flavoring the milk. I think I have some Splenda in the cabinet now. I've used both Stevia and Splenda and like them both.

Ann_48

Deb, the coconut oil is probably a lot better for you. I love my butter, but may have to try that sometime!

Ann_48

Amen to no more waiting until "0", KL!!! :D Middle of the day seems to be my worst times to want to snack, but I've found that a little milk or a Dr. Pepper 10 (2 gr. sugar only) seem to tide me over. I have been addicted to chocolate for so long now that I cannot believe I'm able to abstain from it...

Ann_48

Good Morning Zippadee! BTW, I love your name. It makes me want to sing that old song..Zippadee Doo Dah, Zippadee Ay..my oh my what a wonderful day! I still remember those old lyrics after all these years. haha It's a cheerful little tune! I know what you mean about not ever being sure of your hunger...

Ann_48

What a great reply to the peanut butter bars! Accountability is the best! WTG on resisting the temptation! When you think of it as "I can have this in a couple of days", that really helps, too. Go Green, Stay Green! Thanks for the quotes from the book! I can hardly wait till mine arrives! Oh how I w...

Ann_48

Deb, I am looking forward to the weekend, too. Missing my popcorn, especially during Survivor last night. lol You can do this. I know I haven't been at this long but I know already how bad the urges to snack can be. We can do this! YOU can do this!

Ann_48

WTG for getting outside and running! Fabulous!

Ann_48

Oh no KL. If any fingers come near my plate they are likely to be smacked away or bitten off.

Glad you're feeling better!

Ann_48

Thanks for your support KL. I am loving this new way!

Ann_48

Kneady, Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss! I'm feeling so inspired this morning reading of the success you and others are having by following No S. Thank you for sharing!

Ann_48

WouldYouEva, Congratulations on your weight loss. That is fantastic and inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

Ann_48

Day 5: SUCCESS

I did drink a little milk. If I hadn't done that I would have eaten us out of house and home, so I'm considering Day 5 a total success!

Ann_48

KL, Same here. I tried "Thin Within" and also "Intuitive Eating", "Overcoming Overeating", and the gosh awful Calorie Counting. UGH! With this new lifestyle, I am finally feeling what true hunger is and boy does the food taste great when you wait for it! I also love the structure of this program. No...

Ann_48

Enjoy your spring break! Go green for Spring...break..cheesy? yes..Thanks again for the welcome!

Ann_48

I hope you're feeling better this morning and have a better day today! Thanks again for making me feel so welcome here!

Ann_48

WTG on not giving in to the URGE. What a great feeling, huh?

Ann_48

KL, I did find the challenge, thank you! I'm excited to have a place to go for accountability! Yesterday was tough because I've set certain times to eat each to try to "train" my body into getting hungry at those times. Actually, I don't think I've allowed myself TRUE hunger for a long time, even wh...

Ann_48

KL, Thank you so much for the nice welcome. To hear that you're having success after one month is so inspiring to me! I'm glad you mentioned HabitCal. I've seen it mentioned several times, but haven't a clue what that means. Could you please help me there? Thank you! Edited: KL, I did find the Habit...

Today I've enjoyed reading the rest of the reviews on The No S Diet on Amazon. The posts here and the reviews there have me really anxious and excited to receive my book soon! I can't wait to read it and do a review, myself. Hopefully, like others, I can do an updated review after some time on this ...

Ann_48

My weigh-in is 206.2 this morning. (Will weigh-in again on April 30th.) My plan today is that I can have popcorn and one sweet treat between meals today, not that I'll necessarily have both but it's nice to know I can if I want to. Just because I can have snacks doesn't mean I have to go crazy about...

Ann_48

Today is my first day on NoS. So far, so good! I've tried calorie counting, Intuitive Eating, Atkins and many others over the years, but I feel like The No S Diet might be just the right fit. I'm going to give this a good try through the month of April and see how it goes. I am going to do an offici...
