Everyday Systems

So today is a FAIL. I'm just really hungry and had a snack this afternoon.

It was so easy for a while, and now it seem so hard! :/

I've really been off this past month. I'm so ready to get back into the swing of things. I -WAS- actually wearing my "skinny jeans" there for a while. Not now.... tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start.

Thank you all so much for the kind words you have posted! I really went off the wagon for a couple of weeks. But I've been so stressed that I haven't been eating much. I wonder, if you don't eat three meals per day or whatever your plan is, does that count as a failure? At any rate, I will hopefully...

i think you are doing great. you seem to recognize that emotions are a trigger for you, which is really important. one thing that has helped me is to take the focus off of food. treat myself in some other way. maybe a walk, cup of tea, bath. something that doesn't involve food. i get emotional too ...

Yesterday was green and it was lovely! I'm moving my S days up to today and tomorrow, since we have company coming for those days. I'm not looking forward to it, but whatev. Sunday will be nice and relaxing. I'll get back to green days then.

Oh man... yesterdat was such a spectacular failure. And all because of EMOTIONS! Ugh. I was upset about something, so I skipped lunch because I couldn't imagine eating anything at that time. But around 4 PM I was starving, and caved and had a snack. Then another snack after dinner. Darn. Today is ba...

Success!

B: The usual
L: Big salad
D: Mujadarrah (tasty experiment) - just a tiny bowl

Wasn't very hungry today.

Planning to go for a walk in a few minutes.

What a weekend! I was so busy, I hardly had time to eat. My S days were a little disappointing, because I didn't have time to make any treats. I did have donuts for breakfast yesterday though! They were yummy. So today is another successful N day. I'm calling it early because I'm sure I won't eat an...

Hi there! You are doing wonderful! I, too, am nursing, but my "baby" is 18 months so I can't use THAT excuse anymore! Ha. I just wanted to say I totally understand the stress of being home with the kids. Working was so.much easier!!! Can you tell me about these breakfast bars you're making? I need ...

Oh, dear... that is a most unfortunate set of circumstances! You did amazingly, considering all that

Hello and congratulations! For pregnancy nausea (whoever called it morning sickness was very wrong), I second everyone else's suggestion of not letting your stomach get completely empty. The other thing that helped me was ginger. I drank copious amounts of Traditional Medicinals Ginger Tea, and went...

Success!

It almost feels like Christmas, knowing that I can have treats tomorrow

B: The usual
L: Quinoa patties
D: French toast and bacon

Happy weekend!

Two more successful N days (counting today, which is almost over)! That means one more and I will have completed my first week. I'm super excited. It feels like it's getting easier. The only snag I've run into was yesterday. I was very hungry at lunch time, and something happened to delay lunch abou...

Looks like I'm on track for two successful N days. Yesterday B: a couple of homemade breakfast bars, coffee with cream L: orange chicken and quinoa D: loaded baked potato soup Today: B: breakfast bars and coffee L: egg salad sandwich, a few chips, and a nectarine Dinner is going to be leftover soup ...

Those were SO good! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you automatedeating for the ideas! I am going to try Vanilla again for the next couple of days, but if I feel miserable, like I did last week, I will probably plan a meal for the afternoon.

The weekend! S days. It was nice not to have to stress over food the last couple of days. To my surprise, I didn't eat as much as I thought I would. I was a little too full after dinner and treats tonight. Saturday: Brunch: quinoa patties w/ mayo, coffee w/cream, and some cookie dough Snack: A whole...

Success! Today I started over. I ate more at each meal, and was able to stay compliant the whole day. Feels really good. B: Two breakfast bars, one cup coffee with cream L: A can of Spaghetti-Os (it fit into one bowl) D: Eggs, bacon and hash browns We really need to go grocery shopping. Spaghetti-Os...

Hi there. I just started this no S program so am reading through people's posts. I know you have to eat a lot when you are nursing so you have something to give baby. I notice myself, when I am trying to lose weight, going far too light on the food and then I'm starving. I encourage you to eat full...

FAIL. I totally failed today. Last night I was so hungry, I had trouble sleeping. That carried over into today, and I was hungry all morning after breakfast. At lunch time I cracked. I had my lunch, and then a little snack, and then a BIG snack, and then a sugary treat...... :( I really want to do V...

Hi Imogen! I'm new to No S and I'm having the exact same issue. I'm so used to "portion control" or eating small meals that I don't eat enough, get super hungry, and do something foolish. We'll get the hang of it, with practice

Thank you eschano! It might be a boring thread but my hopes are that it will help me stay on track. Today was a success! It was really hard though. I was very hungry all afternoon. It seems like I might need to either eat more at each meal, or allow a snack of some fruit or something in the afternoo...

Hello, I'm Jess and I've been lurking the board for a few weeks while halfheartedly doing No S. Today is another failed N day and I'm getting sick of failure. The No S habits seem so very reasonable and sane compared to years of counting calories or carbs. I really want to cement these habits into m...
