Thanks MerryKat! Anxious to see what happens Thursday.
Yesterday and today were N days with 3 meals. So far so good.

Took your advice Sonya and it worked great! Thank you for that. I had breakfast much earlier than I usually do (8:30) and reduced my portions a little. Then I had lunch 4 hrs later and was not hungry at all until over 5 hrs later. Also kept my dinner portion much more reasonable. B=boiled egg, sprou...

Thanks for the encouragement! Had a third meal yesterday. It was 1 carrot and a quest bar. I made today my S day because it's just too hard not to. But made it my third meal and it all fit on one plate so I guess that's an improvement. :roll: B=cottage cheese and strawberries, rice chips, Greek yogu...

Much better day today! Reduced the amount of each meal and as a result felt satisfied, not bloated. Now just have to keep it going. B=oatmeal L=bagel, cheddar cheese, apple D=nothing yet - had a late breakfast and lunch, so may not need anything else. If I do, I will have carrots, strawberries and a...

Great idea! Thanks! I will try that this week. Yesterday and today were green, but with a lot of hard work. I REALLY wanted to stuff my face at lunch today. And yesterday, I had to add a third meal of steamed veggies to prevent hitting the pantry later in the day. Yesterday's meals: B: oatmeal L: co...

weekly recap
Well, this week went quite well however Thursday evening was yet another binge-so hard to get out of that. Seriously considering making this my S day, but preplanning my treats so that i don't go overboard. Friday and Saturday were great, but stayed up really late so was very tired Sunday. This alwa...

Thanks Sonya and automatedeating. I will take your advice and see what the next few weeks look like. The baked oatmeal recipe is for one serving, but I make at least 5 of those at once in individual ramekins and refrigerate them. They are good for a week. Today was another sane S day. Breakfast = co...

Haven't posted in a few days. Well it is sure astounding how it doesn't take long for a bad habit to form. Don't know if I should declare Thursday a fail or an S day. Here's why. When Thursday rolls around, I start to feel some anxiety about the weekend S days and the fear that I will binge ALL week...

For sure Sonya. It's called Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal and I got it in an edition of Oxygen magazine. I've tweaked it a little (steel cut oats instead of old-fashioned and a tsp of truvia.) 1/2 cup steel cut oats 1/4 tsp baking powder Dash sea salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp allspice 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie sp...

Starting a daily check-in again. It's been a long time since I posted and I think this will make me more accountable. I've been really struggling lately with N days, specifically Thursday and Friday. And my S days (one at least) are full out binges. Argh! We'll see how this week goes. Monday: Succes...

2 Meals Instead of 3
Does anyone eat a brunch instead of breakfast and lunch? I find I am not hungry at all in the mornings nor do I have the time. Waiting until I'm hungry, which is close to lunchtime, seems to cause a lot less anxiety towards food. I also find that as soon as I start eating, then my mind is constantly...

It's been another crazy week with many things going on. I try to check in everyday but don't always have time to post. Had a great N week. Reduced the amount I ate at meals and also increased the time between meals. Both felt fine and I didn't feel really hungry all week. As a result, I thought abou...

Thanks for the encouragement jw. :) The type of food was fine, it's just the amount. Did not use a plate and if I did, I'm sure it would've been way more than one. Today was a good day again though. Was an N day on purpose. Had NO desire to eat sweets,seconds or snacks. Sunday will probably be the s...

I do the same. Wait till I'm hungry, usually between 11 and 12. Then, something fairly small in mid-afternoon and then dinner between 6 and 7. If I don't think I will have time for dinner, I eat a larger meal around 4-5, making it 2 meals that day. Eating first thing in the morning just makes me rav...

I am new to noS and read this thread all the way to the beginning this evening. So much of what is said here rings true for me. I am also about 10 lbs above my "happy weight".

Ok, so here goes. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I started NoS about a week and a half ago. Stumbled upon it on the internet. I just turned 40 and I'm in pretty good shape.
