Everyday Systems

I am trying to focus on behaviour, i.e. moderate eating and regular exercise, not weight. But I am still weighing once a month. Pre No S, I was weighing every day and it was driving me crazy. I thought about not weighing ever again, or only once a year, but If I committed to that I know I would be t...

Good luck. Enjoy the weekend.

I agree that bingeing happens as a reaction to restricting food as well as a response to stress and anxiety. I think the answers are to establish an eating structure without restricting and to sooth your stress and anxiety in ways other than eating. A way to have structured eating without restrictio...

Soon after dinner I floss and brush my teeth. After that I usually have a peppermint tea.

No S score 88.9%
14 minutes 70.0%
walking 62.5%

This is my monthly check in for No S, resistance exercise and walking.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Oolala53, I like your advice to make my meals 'sumptuous'. I had already realised that I need to make them satisfying but sumptuous is even better.

I first found No S in 2005. I lost the 10 pounds i needed to lose and happily maintained my No S habits for about a year. Then I fell pregnant and found that I needed to snack frequently to keep the pregnancy nausea at bay. No S was soon forgotten. Post pregnancy, and through a second pregnancy, I m...
