Wednesday, Day 1: SUCCESS. I'm feeling much better today, in large part to the great suggestions I got from people on the other thread. It was really helpful to hear people tell me things -- even things I already know. I was able to use some of that today for sure. And I'm trying hard to focus on ha...

thtrchic

Thank you all. This is really helpful! Things that I'm particularly grasping on to are just constantly repeating the mantra "I don't eat x on n days..." and making sure the calories are REALLY worth it and not just processed crap. The significant slowing down of not just grabbing what's there will p...

thtrchic

I'm glad to hear things are getting better with your mom. And that you were able to take advantage of all that you've learned!

thtrchic

Thank you both! Unfortunately, the sweets exist at work so there's no just getting rid of them. So I need to figure out how to work through it, I guess. Those are great questions, KCCC. Some I can answer easily and some I can't, but I'm thinking a lot about it right now and am feeling more hopeful I...

I'm noticing a pattern and it's not a good one. I seem to be having a failure a week and it seems to be a problem or start as a problem on Tuesdays. The issue is sweets. I can't seem to let go and not eat any. I have managed to do this successfully for a while in the past, but not in a while. Is the...

I am beyond frustrated with myself. I didn't go donut crazy, but then did give in to a candy bar and then a pecan bar. What is my problem? It's such a strong compulsion for sugar, but clearly must be overcome-able. I feel gross now and so disappointed. This is the most Ive felt like a failure rather...

Monday, Day 3: SUCCESS B - oatmeal with 1/2 tsp of brown sugar and tbsp of cashew butter L - leftover steak smothered in mushrooms with potatoes, strawberries D - 4 oz of salmon stuffed with feta and spinach, caesar salad very lightly dressed, hunk of fresh bread, grapes Took a short walk at lunch a...

Sunday, Day 2: S- Day. A not at all graze-y or manic one so I'm feeling good. The only real flaw is that at every meal I ate past feeling full. I'm not thrilled with that, but for me it's much better than constantly eating/excessive snacking. B - nutella and fresh strawberry crepe at the farmers mar...

Saturday, Day 1: S-DAY. I had a tasty and in-control S-Day today and am feeling good. B - granola with milk L - pulled pork on small roll, baked chips, cut up pluot with a bit of cut up nectarine (which was not at all good hence the just a bit) S - couple ounces of torrone D - sirloin steak (of very...

Yesterday was a failure day again. Lots of excuses -- most notably not feeling well and being really tired -- but I need to learn to eat better even in cases like that because that's part of life. I did include a couple servings of fruit and did great on water. Plus took my vitamin. It was my planne...

Thursday: FAILURE. I'm pretty disappointed, but trying not to beat myself up too much. Changing such a major part of life is a hard thing to do. I need to not make excuses -- and I have plenty -- but I also need to remember that. And get back on the horse tomorrow. Good things about today: I limited...

Wednesday, Day 8: SUCCESS. Another No-S technical success in a not so healthy day. But I fought hard for my success today (with myself) and I'm proud of it. I was very close to giving in and managed to put myself off, temporarily forget (which was great and I think part of what I'm learning here), a...

Tuesday, Day 7: SUCCESS. Success by the rules, but not the healthiest day. Not quite a disaster, but it didn't go quite according to plan.

Monday, Day 6: SUCCESS! Although Id really like a snack right now. But, no is the answer. I also wanted a glass of wine with dinner, but no was the answer to that too. B - slightly large bowl of grape nuts with milk and tsp of sugar L - hard boiled egg, 1 oz of cheddar peppercorn goat cheese, hunk (...

One "weird" weekend thing I've noticed: I'm leaving food that I love. I left a piece of pizza, several bites of ice cream yesterday, and half the torrone today. All were really good, but I was happily done with less than what I gave myself. This is very unusual for me, especially knowing that I won'...

Sunday, Day 5: S-DAY. Another pretty good day. Not the healthiest eating ever, but nothing at all ridiculous. B - granola with milk L - (in picnic format with a friend, post hike) pretty light pasta salad with beans and olives, multi grain bread with super yummy cheese, grapes and raspberries, some ...

thtrchic

Saturday, Day 4: S-DAY. I've suddenly realized today that just because it's an S-Day that doesn't mean I need to, or should, eat every time I feel the least bit hungry. It's about allowing some indulgences, some deviations, some varying of the "usual." B - smallish bagel with a little butter and cre...

thtrchic

Friday, Day 3: SUCCESS! I'm still feeling good, which I really like. Although it's day 3, it could almost be considered day 17. I had a couple hours of sweet eating disaster one day, but otherwise have actually been very solid. B - grape nuts with milk and tsp of sugar L - (out with a donor/colleagu...

Graham,

So sorry about your cat. It really is a big loss. Given the circumstances, I don't think it's too awful to have a little milky coffee.

All right, I'm back. I'm posting again to help make myself stick to it. I'm back in control. Sweets were cut off this afternoon and despite being somewhat hungry I am done with all food for the day. And I just did my little 8MIM exercises so feeling a little stronger. Upsides: got in a little exerci...

thtrchic

Ugh, crash and burn today. I'm not sure what happened exactly other than I thought about having a candy bar, briefly thought no, and then thought who cares, what's one day. That's no good. To make it worse, the candy bar turned into more garbage once I already had the fail to report. Ugh. Ugh. And, ...

Thanks, Rodrigo! And congrats to you too on your continued success.

p.s. I'm also going to do my 8MIM tonight after my food settles. No excuses.

Sunday, Day 12: S-DAY. Today's been a little more haphazard than yesterday. That's because I didn't have a plan. But that's because I wasn't sure where the day was leading.

Saturday, Day 11: S-DAY. I've had a lot of calories today, but haven't been grazing or mindlessly eating. I've made specific choices and made it worth it. I also haven't done any particular exercise, but I planned on today being off. I did do a couple loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, did the ...

Those are great goals, Lorelei. I think I'm going to steal them.

Good luck!

Friday, Day 10: NWS. Ate a lot, but only a little bit of everything (except for the eclairs).

Thursday, Day 9: SUCCESS. I've been struggling all day and as very, very close to just giving in and getting a snack a number of times today. Including now. But I've made it this far and I want to hold out. Tomorrow is actually a NWS day for me. It's our annual staff picnic and I'm going to just enj...

Wednesday, Day 8: SUCCESS! Today I resisted getting gelato while stopping at the gelato place with my boss. Wow.

Tuesday, Day 7: SUCCESS! I ate the same breakfast today as yesterday (except cold versus heated). I think I must have just been extra hungry yesterday because I did ok today. I was hungry for lunch, but not crazy like yesterday. Today's challenge was that someone brought in these amazing looking and...

Monday, Day 6: SUCCESS! I'm very pleased to report this because it was quite hard this morning and early afternoon.

Peaches are sweet and juicy -- very, very good. I also highly recommend you try cherries and strawberries. They're sweet and wonderful. Plums are also a favorite of mine, but most varieties are somewhat tart so probably better to start with peaches. If you buy them and they're hard (aka not yet ripe...

Thanks again, July. It looks like you're doing great. I feel like I remember the second week actually being the hardest for me in terms of N days, but it's easy to fall into craziness with that first S day. I'm gearing up for the week of good eating. I do feel really in control right now and like I ...

thtrchic

Thanks, July! Today (Day 4, so I don't lose track) has definitely verged on idiotic, but I'll say it's just to the ok side of the line. But barely. I'll make sure tomorrow is a little less ridiculous. I have planned next week's meals, bought the non-produce groceries, and will get all the produce at...

I have been calling Sunday my "official" weigh-in day, but am moving it to Saturday so it's not in the middle of my s-days. Official loss this week: 1.2 pounds.

Friday, Day 3: SUCCESS! Today was definitely harder. I was feeling really hungry from the start and kept thinking about candy. And now I really want some ice cream, but I'm just not having it.

Hi, everyone. Several years ago I had joined this forum and had good success following the No-S concept, but for some reason at some point stopped.

Friday and Saturday: Days 3 and 4: S-DAYS. Friday was a mild one. Yesterday verged on idiotic and I went to bed feeling slightly sick. And I'm struggling already today.

thtrchic

I do Friday and Saturday as my S-Days. I think it's best to do all of two days rather than part of 3. It's not quite the same if you break the days up that way, but to my perception as long as it's always Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday it doesn't matter.

I had forgotten when starting this last weekend that Friday and Saturday works so much better for me as S-Days than Saturday and Sunday. So I'm going to go ahead and switch to that right away with today. That'll also mean I'll consider my Friday morning weight "official" for the week. And with that ...

It's been a very long time, but I've decided to get back on the No-S wagon. And even though it's Sunday so there's not really anything to it, I'm saying I'm starting today.

I'm pretty sure that the glass ceiling rule applies to all drinks, but that the idea is that on N days you don't have any drinks with sugar added. So martinis should be as fine as beer or wine, as long as they're not fruity or chocolate-y martinis.
