Actually, it was one glass of wine and two 'strawberry and lime' ciders, yum! I love Swedish fruit ciders. Sunday 20th May was another S day . Breakfast (post workout): half a 'ribsteak' sandwich, vanilla milkshake Lunch: roast pork dinner - one plate Afternoon: chocolate bar, single ice cream Dinne...

Hi Irisha, so sorry to hear you are going through a rough time right now! I guess there's no 'perfect' time to start a diet. One of the good things about NoS is that it provides an easy structure, so there are less annoying choices to make on a daily basis about when and what to eat - that could be ...

Welcome back oolala, sounds like you had a good holiday! Even if you want more control over your S days, remember you have already made brilliant steps doing NoS as is - your signature proves it! I definitely agree that for some people, zero controls on S days can be difficult. Looking forward to se...

I know what you mean oolala - if I fall into a pattern of having a few fails even if small ones (especially if sweet rather than savoury items are my downfall) I am more likely to keep having fails! I do reckon that the less sweet stuff I eat overall, the less I crave it. Saturday 19th May: S day lu...

When I started I didn't count drinks at all - even fizzy drinks that were full of sugar. I know that Reinhard advises that drinks full of sugar count as a sweet and I agree, but I figured that setting up the habits of not EATING sweets on a daily basis was more important than what I was drinking. I ...

Spoke too soon.... Thursday 17th May was a red day (due to a handful of pringles after dinner). It might have turned into more except I realised my OH had eaten all the ice cream! So far so good today, but I'm feeling extremely tired (and was very hungry when I got back from work) so I'm not convinc...

Phew busy week! I've been on training for the last few days, so have been following my general 'away from home' NoS mods - NoS structure, but allowed a sweet per day. On those rules Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were all green days ! Today should also be a green day assuming the evening goes well, a...

That's a new way to look at calorie counting!

One woman thought she was having about 1200/day which might ha...

I often take 'S events/meals' rather than 'S days' for non-weekend S days. That means that I can relax and eat what I like at that event or meal, but not for the rest of the day willy nilly. After all, if I'm taking an S day to go out for a nice birthday meal with my family where I want to be able t...

I generally go by the 'would this count as a dessert' rule, but also if sugar is one of the main (say first or second) ingredients in whatever it is. So an english muffin is fine, but a blueberry muffin with a load of sugar in it isn't. Homemade pancakes where I haven't used sugar are fine, shop bou...

What I love about that post is the way you have really honestly thought about why you binged and what you could do differently - brilliant! It's interesting how we can panic when we don't have food at the 'right time'. There were only two hours between your possible meal times but one was 'too early...

Hi Amy I do find it very useful for looking at trends, I mainly want to see how much 'damage' I am doing by having uncontrolled S days! Mind you I've never been one to have an extreme reaction to my weight anyway, luckily I've never placed my self esteem or how I eat that day on the number that show...

Thanks for the link nosnacker! :) I've been on a training course for a couple of days - always difficult as I can't choose what I eat exactly, and there are biscuits and cakes and all sorts of goodies thrown at us at every break.

Doh, I realised I got my dates out of whack! So anyway, Monday 7th May was a green day. It was a bit of a struggle, I was sorely tempted to eat chocolate after dinner and felt pretty hungry but managed to ignore the nagging little urges. Today seems to be a little easier, it's nearly 8pm already and...

PS. Perhaps the anxiety has to be waited out? I know in dealing with OCD, my therapist discussed waiting for anxiety to pass. It will peak, and it will be terrible, but it will come down. It HAS TO come down. This anxiety won't be that intense... maybe at the most extreme a 6 or 7 on a 1-10 scale? ...
