How can this be possible that I am at day 20 (I think, I stopped count a while ago...) It's a habit. In fact, eating, planning how to eat enough so I don't starve has become a real pain. Have any of you experienced that? Sometimes I just give up trying to make sure I've eaten enough. It's painful la...

May 8, the 14th day of my 21 day start up. I can honestly say I think I have grown accustomed to the process. I am not saying I am home free but I am not currently obsessing. In fact, it's almost a bother to get enough food in at a meal to not feel famished before the next meal. I have accepted the ...

Sorry to be chatty Cathy but I kind of had a great moment today at lunch. I had this wonderful dinner my hubby prepared and I wanted a little more (2nds are okay on the weekend, right?) so I got up and got just a little more, not even a 4th of a plate full. And I ate and I stopped. I wasn't worried ...

Thank you for replying! I wasn't sure how to use it in order to have people actually respond to me! I guess it just ebbs and flows. I have tons of questions about how this all works now that I am on my 12th day. I wonder how much of the stuff we don't do on the weekdays do people do on the weekends?...

Today has been sweet! Really! Treats I have indulged in but not non-stop...Feeling like I have lost a lot of weight! But I don't think it could be that much...But it sure feels like a lot...How could that be? Only been doing this for 11 days!

Not really sure how to use this forum. Feels odd writing on my check-in site but okay, here goes. I started on April 25. Haven't slipped up yet. But funny thing, yesterday I began really wishing I could have something sweet. I just told myself, in a day and a half, you can. I wait on average 5-6 hou...

Hey I am on Day 8 of the 21. What happens after that? I am very hopeful that there will be an "after that!" I think the reason people warn you not to tweak anything just yet is that our inner selves are very smart and they can smell a "diet" a mile away. So when you say to yourself, "I'll just have ...

Believe me, finding out that my hunger was not an emergency was a revelation! I now think of it as my friend. I don't want to eat without it. Today, very odd, I had not done a grocery trip doing this no-s thingy. My usual habit was to come home and scarf things, anything, everything after the grocer...

Newbie, Sounds like you need a lot of leeway here. I hope it all works out. I just started last Wednesday and am finding myself at peace, not fighting it. I think the first time you face down (not you in particular, but a general you) the first time you actually show yourself that you will not die i...

Okay, this is getting spooky! I didn't notice your name. Today, the first day back at it in earnest was or still is being great. Instead of it being challenging, it's actually a great routine. Eating between meals certainly took a lot out of me, it seems. I've found myself almost as if I have been "...

Oh wow, it's great to have someone on the same path at the same time! I went to walk my dog and was very hungry and I have been surprising myself how great a companion my hunger is. I came home and quickly made breakfast, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of whole grain toast and some plum jelly and butter. I have a...

Well the week end was an odd wake-up call! I decided to treat the weekend as the sometimes that I'd read about but went a little overboard on Sat! And it felt uncomfortable, like I was cheating on myself or breaking too many rules so Sunday I decided to go back to No-S and made it all the way til th...

I started doing No-S on Weds. April 25. I really needed a successful day because I've started before only to give up. I had a great day. I found I can do this! Of course it was just the first day and I know many times the euphoria and adrenaline of the first day carries me through so on Thurs. I was...
