It's only overthinking it if you let it get you discouraged. I came to No S committed to a solid year, and in the back of my mind, two, because I knew that research on weight loss shows it takes a minimum of two years before a person's chance of relapse drops to less than 50%. So what? The time is ...

excellent to hear about your energy levels!
and how you are blending exercise with your life - that, i find, was the main reason i was thin most of my life... active life! and the benefits are beyond the looks and health... the joy of it, the adventure of it! :)

The ppi meds are the worse like omeprazole (prisolec). H2 blockers (like Pepcid ac) aren't as strong but come with much milder side effects.

Re: Question: Sugar on S-days making craving stronger?

I've been reading things that claim that total abstinence from sugar is the only way to really get freedom from miserable cravings--and here's the kicker--that behaviorally, allowing ourselves a reward on a random basis makes our brains link that reward to pleasure in an even stronger way. i think ...
