Crystal, how are you? I miss you...

Dalia negra

Last week was a big bump for me.
Luckily, this week has started well, yesterday I had a green day No S and a green day without weighing me !!!
And I feel much better.

Taking steps towards where I want to go.

Dalia negra

Linda, on Saturday I fasted without intending to. I ate too much cake at noon and then I felt very heavy, so I decided not to have dinner. I felt really good and I do not rule out doing it from time to time, especially in days S

By the way, happy birthday with delay!

Dalia negra

I totally agree with Niccofive, you are doing a great job !!!!!

Dalia negra

Allisonmeg- It was strange not to weigh at first but now I don't even think about doing it. I am glad about that. I have no idea what the scale would tell me, but if I got on and it showed a gain, I feel like I might think this "isn't working" and mentally and emotionally, I do believe it is. Thank...

Dalia negra

Yesterday was the first green day without a scale. Yihaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!

Dalia negra

Merry, do you mean maintenance calories, or weight loss?

Dalia negra

Another red yesterday. Definitely, having a red on a week's day destabilizes me and makes everything go to ruin. On the other hand, yesterday I tried not to weigh myself, and the anguish of not knowing if I was getting fat (irrational, I know) made me have a bad day. Also the alternative of cutting ...

Dalia negra

Crystal, if it helps, I weigh myself every day and register it. I use Dashboard TrendWeight, and before I used The hacker's diet. Yesterday I tried not to weigh myself, but the fear of taking weight (totally irrational, I know) made me go through a lot of anguish. So I have decided that I will conti...

Dalia negra

Merry, I'm glad my advice has helped you

That's the attitude, I'm sure it will go great

Dalia negra

I agree that "plateaus" are dropping set points, and the body will resist those, too. They are perfectly natural, not a sign of something wrong! I think it's a shame that this isn't emphasized more in diet land, since there is so much sturm und drang about it on Sparkpeople and other places. Women ...

Dalia negra

This week so far - Monday - fail. Bank holiday, sunny weather, out of routine = too much food. It felt like a weekend so I fell into weekend habits without even noticing. Tuesday/Wednesday - success. You are doing very well returning to the track immediately. I find that having a failure on a weekd...

Dalia negra

You sound really good. Everything you describe is great and I'm happy for you.

Dalia negra

Thanks for your words, girls. I'll eat the cereal (I'll make an overnight oats but without oatmeal

)

I'm sure you managed to stay there. Come and tell us .. Even if you failed, you are still inside No S.

Dalia negra

Merrygoround, please, please, please, do not diet. Your goal when you started No S was to keep the weight, right? Did you feel comfortable and safe enough with your current weight, then, what has changed now? I know perfectly what you feel, I also have my family far away, and when I go to visit them...

Dalia negra

Ladybird30, you're absolutely right. I'm wanting to go too fast, when what I have to do is enjoy this trip. I feel very good with vanilla S, and I have to let the weight issue be secondary. From today I intend to count only days of habit, my next goal is to be part of the 21 day club, so let's go fo...

Dalia negra

Thanks Tombo!

I try at least!

Dalia negra

Hello Soprano! Thanks for your opinion. I tried it, but it ended up in a binge :( I started with the small plate in the food, but an hour later I was already overwhelmed thinking about going back to dinner like this, and ... wham! I have eaten a coffee flan, a Greek yogurt with chocolate and a Nutel...

Dalia negra

Good luck alene1 !! You will see how you love No S!

Dalia negra

Bravo!!!!!!

You are doing great!

And congratulations for your weight loss and for going from obesity to overweight. That was your goal, right? Do not be obese ...
I'm glad for you!!!

Dalia negra

Thank you very much Tombo and Ladybird30 !! Although I must say that yesterday it was finally red. I ate dinner on my plate, but then I had an ice cream cone. It was much more small than the Haagen Dazs boat, yes :lol: I'm thinking about making a modification in my meals. My plates are 10 inches, an...

Dalia negra

Great to hear that things are going well, Dalia! I really relate to a lot of what you say. We need so much patience on No S, but on the other hand, No S is permanent, and is working its magic on our lives even when weâ€™re not losing weight. Even though my weight loss is very slow, I donâ€™t feel t...

Dalia negra

Today I have something important to tell. This morning I was absolutely depressed by the weight (I had to take anti-inflammatories for a backache and my weight has gone up a bit). I know I have not been rational at all, since this is due to the weight of the water, but I could not help it, I felt de...

Dalia negra

It's fantastic Soprano!

Dalia negra

Thanks for your opinion, Elizabeth7.

I do not think I'm going to eat them every day (I love salty breakfasts), but it's good to know that one day I can have it.

Dalia negra

Good luck, Happy - hope all goes well. Before No S, I had developed habits of having sweets and snacks every day. Now, I go for the entire week without them. I still have them on S days (too much really) but have lost weight regardless. Itâ€™s a long and interesting journey, not a quick fix, but I ...

Dalia negra

I'll have breakfast cereal then!

Thank you leafy_greens!!

Dalia negra

Thak you very much, Merrygoround!

Dalia negra

If it's a S day, I drink sugary drinks, just like you. If it is a No S day, water or diet sodas (Coke zero, etc ...)

Dalia negra

Hello Tombo! I think I have not expressed myself well, I was referring to that I feared some cereals at home that have 21 grams. of sugar for 100 grs. I wanted to eat them in a bowl (cereals) with peanut butter, hence the confusion. I do not speak English and I use the translator, so sometimes I wri...

Dalia negra

Hello girls! I have a doubt. I usually eat salty things. Toast with avocado, with turkey, with cheese ... but I bought peanut butter and I want to take a little in a bowl with cereals. I have some at home that have 21 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Do you think that is a lot? Better leave them for th...

Dalia negra

I loved your story of the Friday ritual and the words to your husband are simply moving.

Your mod is perfectly acceptable

Dalia negra

Great!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy for you, Soprano!

Dalia negra

Thanks for your wonderful words, girls. Beginagain, I agree that No S is the right path. I also think that any weight loss, however small, is permanent. Now I say goodbye to the numbers on the scale with the total belief that I will not see them again. I have a past of numerous diets and it is true ...

Girls !!! I have left the plateau !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lowered half a pound, but in kilos in changed ten ... Happy!

Dalia negra

Despite the fact that I took 2 NWS days right after the weekend, Iâ€™m still losing! 231 a couple days ago and 230.6 this morning. Canâ€™t believe I may actually see the 220â€™s soon. Or not. Haha. You never can tell. I could plateau again or gain or whatever. Who knows? I used to think this was pr...

Dalia negra

Congratulations Linda and Merrygoround!

I would love to fast, but my time has not yet come, I have very little with No S and I just focus on strengthening the habit. But I do not rule out trying it over time, I know it has many benefits.

Dalia negra

Day 22=âœ… My plates are still full and not always the best choices. But I haven't binged, eaten snacks or had more than one plate in 3 weeks. And I've been doing shovelglove and urban ranger. I have less guilt and more peace, for doing these things. It can only get better from here. Chris Amen. An...

Dalia negra

You are doing great!

I love your decision not to weigh yourself until June 7th. I have proposed this month, but it has been four days and the four have been failed. But I do not give up, it's all a matter of habit (that's what No S is about)

Dalia negra

Ohhh ... how happy I am, Soprano! :) I have failed miserably in not weighing myself, but we are only on the third day of the month, so I am still in time to achieve it. Tomorrow I will try not to step on the scale. Hey if I can do it so can you. I have one more day then it's a week. It's killing me...

Dalia negra

Nothing to tell...

I'm still on the weight loss plateau, but curiously, I do not feel like giving up or starting a new diet. I'm taking a pulse of my body, I want to see if I will truly begin to descend again with perseverance...

Dalia negra

Courage storpem!

My first month was 21 days (I started on the 7th) and I had eight red days, so keep going, I promise that over time it gets easier.

I agree!

Good luck with No S, you're doing great!

Dalia negra

As I walked round to pick up the car, I recognised the gnawing, tense emptiness that at one point would have been soothed by food. I wasnâ€™t tempted, and I thought how strange it is to not be tempted. What has changed? In the old days, my head would have been something like this: â€˜You might as w...

Dalia negra

Congratulations beginagain !!!

I've been with No S for three months and I still have not, but this month I do not have any NWS scheduled, so it's a good opportunity to do it.

April summary: 19 green. 9 yellows. 3 reds. I have lost 2.2 lbs. (but I'm a bit angry, I had come to lose 4.8 ) Still, happy. I'm losing weight and I'm not anxious about food. I enjoy my days No S, but I still go with care in my days S. I would like to lose weight a little faster, but you can not ha...

Dalia negra

I donâ€™t know how that happened, how I turned that switch off in my brain that made me feel like giving up when I failed. Now, I truly donâ€™t care. I guess if I had a lot of fails it would make a difference. But I donâ€™t think a few here and there makes much difference. The same happens to me! I...

Dalia negra

I have not cut the sweets completely. If I could never have them, I would feel anxious and would probably binge, I do not think it's good for anyone then. I think the approach of having them moderately and enjoying them on S days is very good. Obviously, the key is moderation. If you start eating th...

Dalia negra

I usually drink a coffee or tea with milk and a teaspoon of sugar. You can also take natural fruit juice, light cola, even a fruit smoothie and milk. It helps a lot and after a while you will not even need it

Dalia negra

Bravo!!!! You are taking big steps, it's a success!

Dalia negra

Crystal, mark in red and follow, after two days it will not seem so bad ...

On the other hand, if you ate only the ice cream and the bar, you could consider that you made the virtual dish, but with sweets. It's not ideal, but maybe it helps to see it like this ...

I hope your migraine goes away !!

Dalia negra

Like most things in life (I find), thereâ€™s a paradox at work with my NoS journey. I want to do No S for its own sake. I also want to lose weight. The two things can coexist. Maybe itâ€™s similar to creativity: you have to do things for their own sake, but external rewards still have an appeal. Pe...

Dalia negra

I agree, it's not easy. In fact, when I have a red day, the next day my body desperately asks for sweets. But I'm sure we'll get it, we already have a lot of livestock!

Dalia negra

A coincidence! I just posted on my thread how much calmer I am when I don't eat sweets, and here you are saying the same thing :) I had not considered that it was because of the sugar, I thought it had been because I had no food restricted ... but it is very possible that you are right, I think the...

Dalia negra

I agree with Oolala, perfectionism will make the slightest mistake you want to throw it all away to start again. At the beginning I also took this as I used to take the diets before: I had to have 100% compliance, so, I came to the forum and I said that I had not had a good start, that I had fallen ...

Dalia negra

I know that there are people who at first have gained weight, although it has not been my case. I would not discourage you and continue, if you really want to have a good relationship with food, No S is your plan. On the weight, you can also track it daily and use some kind of graph to observe the t...

Dalia negra

You are NOT necessarily back where you were after a water gain from cake! Nor are you back to square one with the habit. You are absolutely right ... yesterday I tried to forget all this weight issue and I focused on how good I felt with No S. Physically, I feel lighter and more agile, I get tired ...

Dalia negra

I'm very happy to read that, Octavia !!!! I am very happy for you, and in the same way, it helps me too

Dalia negra

Octavia, you do not know what your message has moved me. To know that being bad there is someone who wants to help you is very nice, I thank you from my heart. After the bad start of the day, I have not thought about the weight again, I'm keeping green and that's it. Curiously, if I do not remember ...

Dalia negra

Thanks for taking a look back to help me, Crystal, I appreciate it very much. As for me, yesterday I had a red day and today the weight has marked another 2 pounds more.

Thanks for the encouragement girls! As a result of the frustration, yesterday I had another red day. I did my three meals well, but at night I had two pieces of cake. The result of this: 2 lbs more today. I'm at the starting point where I started this month, I had 4 lbs lost, but I've recovered ever...

Dalia negra

Thank you very much for your response, Crystal!

True, patience is the key in No S. I do not usually be patient, and less in terms of weight, but I will learn!

Dalia negra

Short message: try not to get down on yourself for the process. Reinhard himself said on the Facebook group that the psychological side is the biggest obstacle.

The only problem with the slow weight loss is that thereâ€™s a nagging doubt in my head - am I somehow cheating at this, doing it wrong? And has the weight loss stalled for good?

Today I have only had an ice cream and a mini Magnum extra. I want to leave a record because I have realized that since I cut the sugar during the week, I notice the sweets very sweet and with a smaller amount I have enough.

And I do not recognize myself !!!!! I am a new person!!!

Dalia negra

Courage Soprano! The same thing happened to me and the simple habit saved me from binge eating. I could not imagine eating without stopping until I was very uncomfortable and with abdominal pain. Simply, this is not for me now! But I also need to recognize that those moments in which the scale does ...

Today something incredible happened to me. I opened one of the cabinets in my kitchen to get something and I found a bag of a snack that I love.

Cheer Marina, they are just bad habits. Try to go ahead with No S and that feeling will go away little by little and you will stop doing it, I promise. I still remember the hunger that happened between meals the first weeks, and now as with the autopilot because the food has gone into the background...

Thank you very much Syfy74!!

It is totally true what you say, if we follow a diet, next year we will probably weigh the same or more, while with No S it will not be like that

Dalia negra - If you love to read, and especially mysteries, you should totally give them a try. Start with A, but I do think the series gets better as it goes on. The entire series is set in the 1980â€™s, so Kinsey has to use a lot of ingenuity to solve the cases - no internet, no cell phones. The...

Technically, a person doesn't trade S days. She uses one of two exception days a month.

That d...
