Had my first real craving for a sweet last night (ginger ale) since starting the No S Diet, and held out until my S day today! Still no S days missed!

Thanks, eschano! Another brief check-in. Today was an almost slip-up day. I was at the doctors and they were drawing a lot of blood and offered me graham crackers, and without thinking, I said "yes." I caught it afterwards, and ate them and counted it as one of my meals, and am not hungry as I go to...

Another check-in. January's over, and I'm down 2.9 lbs so far.

But I'm getting to the age where weight's starting to be hard to keep off, and it's starting to impact my health. First I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and my chol...
