Thanks Linda! I think gaining some sanity would be glorious! I also think that my constant snacking is my main problem, and if I could get that under control, my weight should have a downward trend. Thanks for sharing what you drink during the day! I am definitely going to follow this approach. I ca...

Thanks for the welcome back eschano!! I think I will definitely try the milky drinks tip. Not chewing between meals is the first habit I need to work on, and if a glass of milk helps me to get to that point, then I'm going to do it. And I'm also going to TRY REALLY HARD to come here everyday and kee...

Hmmmmm. Here again. I always find myself back here. I start some new diet, some new way of eating, and then eventually, my sanity returns, and I remember that I REALLY want to give NoS a proper try.

I took the time this weekend to read the NoS diet book for the fourth time. And I ate a lot. It wasn't a mindless binge, but more of a "I know I'm not hungry, but I'm going to eat this anyway until I feel sick." It's so weird to type that out, but that's exactly what I was thinking. The volume of fo...

Thank you MerryKat! Day 2: Success! Thankfully I deterred myself from snacking between meals. I was really mad about something and was ready to just eat and eat and eat, but I realized that's what I always do when I'm mad/anxious/sad/stressed/happy. It doesn't matter what emotion it is. This is why ...

And if I'm being honest, that's what I really want more than weight loss: peace of mind about food! Thanks for reminding me of that!r.jean wrote:Good for you! Staying with it no matter what is a good choice. No S is not known for rapid weight loss, it definitely promotes a peace of mind about food!

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves when tempted how we will feel later if we overindulge. I find this technique extremely helpful when I am considering drinking too much! But I use it to prevent overeating, sometimes, too. :) I have had to do this several times today! (With eating, not drinking....

failing HARD
Ugh, I am trying to get back on track, but obviously, I'm not trying hard enough. I talked myself into having all red days this week, because of the prednisone (just an excuse). Now, I can't seem to stop the binge. I just ate so much candy that I feel sick: headache, racing heart, lethargic, etc. I ...

I think it's great that you are focusing on just getting the habit down.

Well done for sticking it out! Remember also: if you manage to replace the habit with a psychologically satisfying new ritual it's even easier.
