I'm glad my signature thoughts are helpful and encouraging to you tobiasmom! They help me too...during the many months straight that I have followed NoS, my life was so much calmer and more peaceful and EASIER, really. I have been dieting since I was 12 (and I wasn't really overweight then - just la...

Today is Day 30. I've not been struggling with my eating as much as my mind. I wish I could figure out why I talk to myself so negatively. I'd never talk to anyone else the way to talk to myself. I'm a cheerleader type to others, but doom & gloom to myself. Today I'm trying not to let myself be dis...

Determined, I can identify with your feelings...I have practiced NoS since 2007, but within that time I have stopped and restarted more times than I can recall now. For whatever reason, I somehow allow myself to be sidetracked and end up off-track. I really don't know why I do it. Mostly I think I a...

Monday, July 18 - a green day for NoS. Had to have a glass of milk before bed to stave off the munchies. I am suffering the residual effects of the "diet" I turned to back at the first of the year...how could I have been so foolish?! I will take Bright Angel's advice now, and whenever I feel the com...

Have you tried having a glass of milk, fruit or vegetable juice? This works for me when those hunger attacks hit. Many times, though, I'm not really hungry...just bored, feeling anxious or stressed, etc. and I really have to examine my feelings. Then, as the saying goes, if hunger's not the problem,...

Saturday - Sunday - S days - not a problem this weekend. I didn't have an appetite for much of anything.

Roxy, thank you so much for your very kind words...I think only people who have pets, or had pets, and love(d) them truly understand.
