I hear you DSTSS! Ditto to everything you said. But, I am starting to notice small things, like not wanting chocolate because it doesn't sound good, as small rays of hope. I think our diet minds will change slowly and gradually. It took many years for some of us to develop diet brain, and it will ta...

I am also struggling with the "now's my chance" mentality. Hopefully the longer we do it, the more it will go away. I noticed this weekend that I didn't want chocolate. Before, I would have eaten it anyway because I mentally see chocolate as the ultimate in indulgence. But, I am starting to notice h...

lpearlmom, I know some genres of dance are much more forgiving than others, and as I said, I am OLD, so many things have probably changed since my prime, but I am very protective of my daughters and I am trying everything to thwart off possible eating disorders, and I believe NoS is a great tool for...

Kittson, we all do lyrical, ballet, jazz and color guard flag. I also do lindy hopping and color guard weapons. When I was in my prime, I was told I needed to have a BMI of 18 or less to perform at college or professional level. Even with severe eating disorders, I was only able to get to a BMI of 1...

Thank you Cowboy and Kittson; and congratulations to both of you on your personal successes. Maybe we can all hit the 21 day mark together? That would be fun:) Kittson, I am very lucky my kids are hopping on board. They are probably relieved that mom isn't on one of her insane diets or exercise kick...

Studied nutrition in college (please don't judge). Anyway, there are several factors which effect metabolism: hormones, growth spurts (that one is too late for me), gender, muscle mass (men naturally have more), age, body mass (men generally weigh more than women). There are things you can do to qui...

I have had 3 successful N days this week, for a running total of 10 successful days on habit. However, I am writing today because I am feeling overwhelmed with temptation. I'm not sure why, but I want to eat seconds, snacks and sweets. I am really hungry, and I have noticed I haven't been eating muc...

Thanks everyone for all of the encouraging words:). I think the idea of weighing in on Friday or Saturday morning is right-thanks everyone for the tip. Had a great N day yesterday! I think I am going to start weighing on Fridays/Saturdays and checking in at that time. I hope everyone has a great N w...

So....I gained a pound from my starting weight which means I gained 2 pounds since Friday. I guess I was an "idiot." I listened to Mr. Engel's podcasts, and I remember him saying you needed to try to over do it on S days. I think he greatly underestimated the power of the sweet tooth, or at least MY...

I just wrote a list of all the positive outcomes which happened as a result of this program. I am afraid the weight loss will be painfully slow for me or non existent. I am trying to remember all the good even if the pounds don't fall off. I don't know if this will help you or not, but keep your chi...

Weekly review
Think I over did sugar. Even thinking of sugar makes me a tad nauseous :oops: Hopefully that will translate into not desiring it for the next week. I want to log some thoughts so that I don't forget for the future. Effective strategies for N days: make palette satisfying meals to curb sugar cravings...

Welcome to the board. I am a newbie also. Like you, I have struggled with over restricting and had dangerously low BMI's; not suggesting you have or ever had too low BMI or ED. Some would call it an eating disorder, but I find that obnoxious like I need to spend hours in a therapist room? I'd rather...
