Day 4 - S Day. Not too idiotic. Had some cookies for breakfast, a reasonable lunch, an ok dinner. Had some snacks of a few small caramels and 2 natureal licorice nips, and most of a Ritter sport chocolate covered biscuit. This is something that I just love. It's very much a treat and I've been enjoy...

Tuesday was a failure. No need to dwell, could even make excuses, but I know they're not true. I just let myself fall back into bad old habits. Yesterday was a new and successful day 1. Couldn't SG because I hurt my shoulder, but did walk for about half an hour. Today is day 2. So far so good. Did l...

The yoplait I had this morning had 27g so you could try that one. Personally, though I think yogurt is fine if eaten in moderation. I'm no expert, though. The best advice is something I read from Reinhard (I think on the general No-S info page) saying if it's borderline don't worry about it. The iss...

Day 12 - Success. I'm feeling back on track, finally. B - nonfat raspberry yogurt with granola, grapes L - bit of a turkey sandwich (which ended up tasting bad so I threw it away), pistachios (which I had on hand and used to replace the turkey sandwich), carrots, unsweetened banana chips D - small p...

Days 10 & 11 - S Days. Non-idiotic ones too. Surely S days, but within reason I think. Started out right today with my breakfast and lunch packed and my shovelglove (with my stick) done. Plan to also walk 30 minutes and eat responsibly. And, of course, drink lots of water. Back tonight to report my ...

Day 9 - Success . I had frozen pizza for dinner. The whole thing did fit on a plate and I thought I'd eat it all, but after half just couldn't possibly eat anymore. This is a change for me -- in the past I would surely have eaten all of it and then still had dessert. I'm pretty amazed. B - nonfat st...

Just make a decision to make your next meal a good one. And to not eat sweets or snacks between now and then. Don't think or worry beyond that point. Saying you can't get back on plan guarantees you can't so also just stop saying that. You can do it -- you know you can because you've done it before....

Day 8 - Success . I'm really finding it so much easier to transition back to N days than I did at the beginning. I've also noticed that the habit part of breakfast and lunch on weekdays has really stuck. Even on Special days if I'm at work, I still basically always do the breakfast and lunch part ri...

8 lb vs. 12?
I've been doing No-S for a bit and am thinking about adding Shovelglove. And for that I'm thinking about what size sledgehammer to use. I've been doing some lifting of free weights, mostly 8 pound ones (per hand). But I'm not in great shape and not too strong (yet). Since between my two arms I do ma...

I was a minor idiot this weekend and rather glad to get back to healthier eating today. So far it's been an easy transition back to N days today. I had a nice breakfast of granola and lowfat milk, and the first part of my lunch -- a frozen meal of baked chicken breast and mashed potatoes. Plus lots ...

Day 1 - Success!

I'm really struggling. I don't know why this was so easy the first 25 days and now so hard for me. Right now I'm just starving despite having perfectly reasonable breakfast and lunch. It's only 5pm so I just can't eat dinner yet or I'm going to be going totally before bed. I'm also having an unhappy...

Day 1 - Success! It feels good to have an in control day. And I'm looking forward to a reasonable S day tomorrow. And even more to a solid N day Wednesday. Dinner ending up being 2 eggs with some gouda cheese, grits, and that piece of italian style pizza. And exercise ended up being a 50 minute taeb...

I actually do eat this way because it was just too hard and too painful for me not to. I figure an exact meal that will fit on a plate in advance and then eat it in pieces, as you describe. As long as it's set this way and things can't be added or changed during the day based on whim I feel file abo...

I don't place any limits on my S days. That's the deal and I feel ok with that. However, a pattern has emerged that I eat just a little off from N days on one of the days and more junk the other. But still not as much or as bad as I was before. I commonly still have some fruit or vegetable, which I ...

For breakfast I've had granola with milk and will shortly eat my banana. Lunch will be 1/2 a quiznos tuna sandwich, some carrots, some chips, and a yogurt. Dinner will ...
