I know that this isn't the point of No S, but thought I'd share as a tangential benefit: Yesterday I ran into a bunch of people that I haven't seen in months and they were raving about how good I look. It was encouraging both in an appeal to my vanity, but also as a reminder that being at peace with...

After a super successful 21 day challenge, I have REALLY struggled with my second 21 day challenge. I *think* I am subconsciously feeling restricted, but am not restricting myself at all... I spent some time thinking through things this weekend and felt like I had a better hold on myself when I woke...

I was planning to jump right back into another 21 day challenge. However, I decided to make Monday another NWS because I was hosting a party and wanted to enjoy all the food options (particularly the dessert! :)). It ended up being a one-meal NWS and not a total free for all, which I think is a wond...

Day 15 (this day was borderline not green, but I'm going to give it to myself. I am noting that it is slightly a stretch because I want to be reminded that it DOES not feel good to overeat; it still tastes good, though. ;)) Day 16 (this was a SOLID green day! In fact, I probably ate too little and ...

Day 11 Last night I left some room on my plate so that I could do a virtual plating of mango after dinner. Turns out I was full without the "dessert", so I ended up forgoing the fruit. I haven't eaten much this week, which I attribute to not feeling well. Food hasn't been as appealing. I always get...

I am going to do another 21 days of strict adherence. I need to solidify my habits. :) I also think that I need to post here daily, during the 21 days, to hold myself accountable. I'll triple up on Mondays because I don't go online much on the weekend. I just downloaded an app called Pact, which cha...

I'm checking in for accountability because it seems infinitely easier if I come here and publicly declare that I am going to make some tea and HOLD OFF ON EATING for two hours. Note to self: Hunger is not a bad feeling (and repeat x1,000). My job ...

This weekend was another free-for-all. Though I was rather pleased that I only ate at 1 of the 2 Super Bowl parties that I attended. It was really hard to say no to more food, but I was 1,000% satiated and had enjoyed more than enough treats for the day/weekend. I am reminded that saying no enables ...

There was a day last week that I decided to have dessert. I had another "I deserve it" moment. And then I contemplated not recording said moment. What I appreciate about No S is that there isn't shame attached to non-compliance. I had a red day and now I am working towards more consistent green days...

I was a bit cocky yesterday. I should know that I'm too social to resist dessert when I'm the hostess and worried that the other people won't eat if I don't... It was delicious. Today is a new day. :) I walked home from work last night, which was good for moving the body. HOWEVER, it is super, super...

I was way, way, way too snacky over the New Year's holiday (starting 12/30 and finishing up incredibly stuffed on 1/3). It was delicious, but uncomfortable. I think it's important to remind myself of the discomfort when the temptation to shove ALL THE FOOD into my mouth returns. Last night I was exc...

The Christmas holiday was a success! The days leading up to my vacation felt overly indulgent and gross, so I made a conscious effort to curb my excessive eating. I did eat a bit more than I should have (in regard to satiation levels) of savory food, but I was completely moderate with sweets. I am c...

Well, this past weekend involved A LOT of sweets and overeating. Not surprisingly, I didn't feel awesome. I had a jam packed, labor intensive weekend and kept justifying overindulging by telling myself that "I deserved it." I need to break away from that mentality. This morning a coworker with a lot...

Things have been very good, but very tiring in light of the big move and major life changes. And in the midst of that there has been excellent adherence to No S. I haven't really been monitoring myself, which gives me confidence that it has become a habit. Three meals a day has become a relatively e...

I am (semi-suddenly) moving to a new city this week. Things have been a bit of a whirlwind and there have been lots of celebratory meals. HOWEVER, I'm following No S and feel like everything is in control. :) Someone told me that I better be careful not to gain ten pounds this week with all my celeb...

I'm going to call last night a SUCCESS! :) I stopped eating when I felt satiated (possibly slightly more than satiated, but definitely not all caps FULL). I wanted to keep going, but I just said to myself, "Self, you've had enough." And then I spent the rest of the night socializing and doing the ne...

In regard to the article, oolala53, it wasn't actually an article. No S was mentioned in the comments of an article. I looked quickly this afternoon to see if I could find the article (it was from July of this year) and I couldn't find it after a quick glance. When I get some extra time, I'll try to...

Oy vey. This weekend was very eat-y. Too much. I actually skipped breakfast because I was still not hungry. I ate a small lunch portion that I initially thought wouldn't be enough, but about 5 minutes after eating I started to feel perfectly satiated. I need to remember that I don't need to feel FUL...

Restarting No S
I found No S this summer in the comments of a NYT article about the decrease in soda consumption in the U.S. Someone had written about their approach to moderation and detailed No S. After some quick Googling, I was certain that this lifestyle was/is for me. I've been doing relatively well on No S, ...
