Re: What is your favorite beverage between meals when you're feeling a little hungry?

Re: Chris's Check In

I am outside urban rangering. Doing pretty well so far. It feels good to get back to no s rhythms.
11/21/2020 starting at 176
11/24 it's 174
It's still hard to eat slow. But think It'll happen as I get further into my no s journey.🐾

I'm back to regain structure and self control. I've been reading the slow down diet. I think it will work for me if I combine it with the no s diet. So I'm back to try no s again. I always wanted no s to work for me, but I think eating fast is one reason it didn't.🐾

Around the block from where I live there is a school. It is surrounded on one side by a huge grass lawn the length of 4 blocks. You feel like you're at a park walking with grass, trees, sky. But it's safely next to the neighborhood and road so it is safely in the open. Don't know why it took me so l...

I have not been consistent up to now. Do I not believe it can be done anymore? At 58 am I giving up? I can't give up. No S is the sanest eating plan there is. What reason could I have to not commit to this way of eating? It is a gift. God please help me to start again today and commit to it.

I'm back Again at Day 1. New check in, new start. At 58 year's old, a lifetime of yo yo dieting, and I just want normalcy. Normal eating and a normal weight. I'm 30 pounds overweight, and wish I wasn't. But counting calories, and weight watchers, etc., don't have the magic anymore, the scale never b...

Okay, this time I want to implement the no s rules with Dr Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet. So, no snacks, no sweets or flour, and no seconds (the 1 plate rule). As for the s day exception, knowing myself, I am going to allow minor latitude to special holiday meals with others. Today is day one. Than...

It's Sunday evening and the advice from Reinhard works. I also re- listened to the podcast on S Days Gone Wild. Thinking ahead with clear intentions of the s-event, and jotting it down in a steno pad, gave me the reward without feeling or getting out of control. Amazing!

Just got back from a walk and added urban ranger to my habitcal. A doctor told me once, "birds fly, fish swim, people walk." The significance of that simple comment never left me. Now I need to act on it, I am way to sedentary.

Could S Day Normalcy Help

Does this seem like an option that would help me not overeat? On S Days continue to eat 3 single plate meals, but have something special that's more calorie dense than I would have during the week ? That would be my S Day exception. Snacking and Seconds leads me to binge on s days. Portion control i...

I've been thinking about the idea of food sobriety. I have trouble with binge eating on s days. S days aren't meant to be binge days. The idea of Food Sobriety I think can help me.

The 9" portion plates I got are very helpful. I love the way my food doesn't run together on the plate because of the division of portion sections. It helps me practice the "plate method." Also helps getting used to less food. Really cool. Because of my age, 57, I am going to continue with N Days th...

RawCookie, that is good to hear, that it became normal. I will use that 9" plate idea too. It's hard to imagine now, but I'm going to believe that it will become normal for me too. When successful no essers share info like this, it helps me to trust the process. Thank you!

Today I ordered some portion control plastic plates with measured dividers.

You do as well, thank you! I'm going to implement some advice from pages 134 - 136 of The No S Diet book. I can tell that sometimes, usually at dinner, I pile too much food on my plate. The No S Diet has the ability to help me spotlight excess. Now that I'm getting the basic rules ingrained a little...

Hi! The NoS Diet is, for me, the answer to ending overeating and bingeing, because it gives the needed framework for controlling excess. And I have noticed that looking forward to a meal is pleasurable, because I can enjoy eating it without guilt, and without the dreaded calorie counting of it. One ...
