Everyday Systems

I think that that's a great idea, I also thought of it when I found myself kind of miserable lying alone on the bed, having only ice cream for company.
But it might be too early for me to implement it now.. I am only 6-7 weeks or so into the Vanilla S system, and it hasn't been entirely green yet.

Me again..

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better
(Samuel Beckett)

Oh I just found another collection of quotes lying under my bed.. We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle And I had to think of Reinhard Engels when reading this one, because he was so kind to share what he had accomplished and didn't just keep his succe...

I remember myself of the following when I think that I can't take the "hunger pangs" anymore: "Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor."- Alexis Carrel "There's a basic truth here: there are stages of hunger, and we -- Americans -- have become accustom...

I feel like I am in the exact same situation as you. I am a young, athletic girl who never really had to reduce her weight. However, a few years ago I started obsessing over food and tried to loose some weight in order to get superskinny. I actually got pretty skinny, but it didn't made me feel bett...

Yesterday was a success Thank you SpiritSong! I like the idea of "wasted calories", haven't seen it that way before. Sunday was not perfect but it was definitely better. But my body really stopped me from eating to much this time (was immediately getting stomachache.. probably not the best sign). I ...

Hey! Sorry about your little failure, but I see that you are already back on track Good luck for next week, I am also trying to get into the 21 Day Club

Oh My God. I just forced myself to write this down.. Tiramisu Potato chips Kellogs Pancakes Yoghurt Pack of pretzel sticks Bar of choclate Peasoup 500ml (!!) Ben&Jerries Crispbread No, I am NOT pregnant. And no, I don't know how that could even fit into my body! This was just the worst day ever. And...

Success
But I am having trouble resisting the Tiramisu I just made for tomorrow.. should have waited until tomorrow to prepare it! Now I have the feeling that I must have it right with breakfast

Great, I'm in! I really need it this month because there are a lot of "Special Days" coming up and I want to stay on the right track. That means that aall my N Days should be perfect, so that I can enjoy these many S days without any guilt. June: Vanilla No S 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th...

Dankeschön! That's great to hear, which study did you do? Unfortunately I have have never been to Marburg before. And yeah you are right about Bienenstich! My grandma still makes the best! I originally come from Hamburg but I am now studying in the netherlands. But they sure got other temptations h...

I always bookmark the pages I stop reading. Not the most practical way because you have to bookmark again everytime you leave the bulletin board, but better than having to click through all those pages (:
But maybe somebody else knows the functions of this boad better!

I don't think punishing one's self for not having time for a decent breakfast makes sense. I have to say that I wouldn't consider "marking a day red" as punishment. That's why I'd call this day a failure (and try to not let that happen again). But if you find it very discouraging, just mark it as a...

Hey, thanks SkyKitty! Love your signature as well by the way, haha!
And you were right about the book, I just finished reading and it definitely is helpful even though I thought I already knew everything about No S.. Won't be the last time that I read it.

Today was a success

Second week!
Started off with a success. Very easy today, hardly ever thought about food.

I love that!

Okay, I actually had a lot of failures lately so I decided to start fresh on may 22th. And guess what - I just had my first green week ! It wasn't very easy and I thought about food a lot, but I did it! And it felt like I had given myself a big present. Now, after today, I'm feeling a little stuffed...

It's funny that I just caught myself thinking: "Oh, of course something like this only happens to you when are on something like the No S Diet where you are not supposed to just feel 'lucky' to get those extra donuts". But actually you are very lucky that it happened now, because now you definitely ...

This is just something I found on tumblr. I am only 19 and haven't really decided yet what I actually believe in (or whether I am religious at all), but nonetheless I find this really comforting.. That's why I thought I should show you http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/cms/CCOM/9435-ea%20god%20says%2...

21th 22th 23th 24th Funny stuff I had coffee in an ice cream parlour and they served a tiny scoop of ice cream with it. I used it as "milk" for the coffee.. Didn't call it a failure though. I felt I had drawn enough attention already by not eating a big serving of ice cream, as all my friends did. ...

Sweets, definitely!
I just started No S and after a meal I feel the need for something sweet..
But now I know it's just a stupid habit - because my roommates always serve a little desert after meal and I got used to it very quickly - but that urge won't last forever I guess.

haha, well thanks to you two! And yes Over43, I don't do drugs, don't drink a lot of alcohol.. but when it comes to food.. Actually, I sometimes really don't know which is worse. Well, I hope I can solve this problem now, because I don't want to struggle with it in the future - I expect myself to ha...

Hey everybody, Time for me to also start building those good habits. I'm a 19 year old student from Germany, living in the Netherlands - so please excuse some language mistakes. I am doing this because I act like a total maniac around food. Lucky me, I have never been overweight in my life, the only...
