My baby got her fifth ear infection for the year and with the doctors and specialist visits and the no sleep and the screaming, I had about a week and a half wiped out. I don't even know if they were all fails or not? I do know my habits weren't old enough/ingrained enough to be truly automatic and ...

I would like to join in too! I'm going to track my success starting from Monday. Hope this works... :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: 01 02 :| :| :| 06 07 08 09 :| :| 12 13 14 15 16 :| :| 19 20 21 22 23 :| :| 26 27 28 29 30 :| :| Not a great start to my nos tracking career...

It's been awhile since I checked in - life has been insanely busy! But I would like to report that I am officially full time NoS-ing! I got up to four days of No S and only had Wednesdays to tackle. Feeling confident, I introduced the snacks and seconds rule for this day in one go. So my last remain...

I agree oolala - I'm like a frog in cold water slowly being boiled alive?!!

Well, I have slowly introduced the no seconds rule and I am now up to 4 days of full no-sing! The only hill left to conquer is Wednesdays. This week I'm going to bring the no seconds and no snacks rules in together for Wednesday. So I'll be doing a full week of each of those rules. And then all that...

Quick update: I have slowly introduced the no snacking rule (at least for four days) and this week I'm going to start on no seconds. No snacking has made a huge difference - I am positive that's where a huge amount of my calories came from even when they were 'healthy' snacks. It's hard though. Omg ...

Thanks ironchef and Merry! I think you both make good points and I am going to follow your advice. I'm going to tackle snacks next and I this will stop me replacing the junk food snacks I was having with 'healthy' snacks that are still unneeded calories. I'll leave the seconds rule for last... And i...

It's been awhile since I updated this but I've come a long way. Over the Christmas holiday I abandoned the no s diet. I was staying with family for a month and we only get together once a year. There's lots of food and drink and craziness and I just knew it wasn't the time to try to create new habit...

Thanks so much for the support everyone. I am honestly a bit shocked that people are so nice here. Not sure what I expected! I did pretty great last week! I did Monday, Wednesday and Friday and only had one small slip up. On Wednesday I ate a shortbread biscuit which had the back dipped in chocolate...

Well, I got through Thursday! It was hard in the afternoon when I was tired and the kids were crazy but I stuck to it. It's very easy to keep the panic monster at bay doing just one day and telling myself I can have some chocolate the next day. So this week I am going to do every second day - Monday...

Thank you so much for all your replies and encouraging words. I was kind of nervous to log back in and see the responses... I don't know why. I think I was just feeling so down and horrid that I was scared I'd get nasty remarks about what a disgusting pig I was being. Merry - thank you for your kind...

I recently had a general checkup and got a routine blood test done. The doctor asked me to come in to get the results (never a good sign - if they're normal I just don't hear anymore about it). She said that everything else is normal but that my insulin is high. It has previously been slightly eleva...
