I am still on the No S path. I have been so busy that I haven't been able to post. I still haven't had a completely green week yet, but a few things have changed. 1. Sweets don't have the same attraction for me anymore. I have had candy on some S days and they just aren't so enjoyable anymore. Last ...

Good Foods Bad Foods
I was thinking about how we have been taught to demonize some foods and glorify others. As time goes on everything seems to change lists over and over. One days eggs are evil the next day they are the best thing you can eat. I am sure you can all think of at least 5 foods that have moved from one li...

Another week done. Overall I am pleased with my progress. I thought about getting on the scale but I decided it wouldn't be worth it. I don't want to make my focus weight loss. So for now I will avoid the scale. My clothes aren't fitting much differently anyway so I would probably be disappointed. I...

I had a very stressful day today after work. My 5 year old wandered off from his teachers. I was extremely angry about how it was handled. Needless to say my emotions were in overdrive. Someone who had no idea what was bubbling inside of me offered me some candy...he just happened to have it. I said...

This is what transpire d in my mind: I am so hungry...I should just have a 1 or 2 pieces No you can wait But I am hungry. I will choose something with...

lpearl, I really am looking forward to the day that DH sees the way I eat as perfectly normal. I have only had one green day this week but I don't count that as a total failure. I have noticed that when I eat the sweet or the snack I stop eating after a few bites. In the past one bite would lead to ...

I had a real S Day on Saturday. My husband and I went to a nice restaurant. We really enjoyed being able to eat without the little ones being there. Such a simple thing but much appreciated. All I kept thinking as I sat looking at the menu was "negotiate". I knew I wanted dessert. They had my favori...

Hi ladies! I totally understand this. I was a very slim youth and young adult. I had a terrific figure. Then age 27 came and...well....here I am now. I wonder if it is a different struggle for people who have been heavy most of their lives vs people who have been slim most of their lives but gain we...

Maybe they don't exist? Maybe one or two....those strong type A personalities which I am NOT! I am an all-or-nothing person. I think this is why going through any process is difficult for me. My weakness is to think that if I am not doing it ALL correctly then I have failed. I have to embrace the re...

Thank your onsoniye for the encouragement. I never imagined this journey to be so emotional for me. I can't believe I am starting my third week. I haven't had total success but I have been learning a lot. I guess dieting has made me hold on to guilt and self-condemnation. I have to work through that...

Yesterday was fail in a minor way. I grabbed a handful of my children's jellybeans. Let me tell you what I just did this morning! I purchased ice cream yesterday in anticipation for this Sday. It was all I could think of when I got home. I contemplated just giving in after I ate the jellybeans but I...

Hunger and Craving Patterns
I posted this in my journal, but decided to put it here too. I was thinking about the rhythm of my eating today. Between breakfast and lunch I usually have true legitimate hunger. Between lunch and dinner I have strong cravings/urges to eat, but not real hunger. Has anyone else experienced this? I w...

N Day I'm having a rough go of things today. Was a really stressful day. Well, if I'm honest, most days are really stressful at work for me because of my job. I need a career change and I think this manifests itself in other areas of my life such as my eating. I get this feeling like I want to brea...

Today was my first S-day. I didn't like it. I felt so conflicted inside. I ate too much and I didn't like the feeling. It is typical for me to feel a strong urge to continue to eat once I taste something sweet and of course today was no different. I know I didn't fail as this is an S-day but I just ...

I would suggest a bigger plate? The first week I did No S, I got a big plate and filled it up. I made sure that the fruit I'd have later in the evening would fit. Then I sat down and LOOKED at it. My husband was amused as well, but didn't comment. It was a reinforcement - this is a LOT of food. It'...

Day3 :( Started in a good place but I had trouble with dinner. I kept going back for more. Surprisingly, I did not eat any sweets. That is my usual battle. In my head I kept saying "You can't have a sweet until Saturday" That is weird since I was breaking the No seconds rule. Day 4 :( Still a fail....

I guess the way I'm looking at it is, dieting and then binge eating is just making me bigger and bigger. At least if I stop doing that, stop eating so much junk, stop grazing all day, and stick to 3 meals a day I won't keep getting bigger. Eventually the weight will hopefully start coming off and r...

I hope my title doesn't sound too selfish, but this really is all about me. I have to change my lifestyle for me. I have to put all the work into this because if I don't no one else can do it for me. Also, those of you who responded to my introduction gave me great advice. The common theme is that I...

M, yes we sound similar! I think what everyone is saying to me here is to stop worrying about what other people think, eat, and say. I can imagine that, like you said, it is very freeing. I have to work on that. Perhaps the No S Diet will do more for me than I originally anticipated. Skinny and Worr...

oolala, I do not have any health problems. Movement is definitely something I have to work on. I have to change that aspect of my life as well as the food part. I like your statement: "a reasonable way to negotiate our food-rich environment." In regards to judging fat people: I guess internally I do...

Saying hello and need advice
Hi everyone! I tried this diet sometime long ago but didn't stick with it. I have been playing with different diets for the last 10 years and I am no smaller than I was 10 years ago. I will be 40 soon. I have decided that chasing a number on the scale is no longer appealing. When I sat to think abou...
