Yeah, I know what you mean! Although WAP focuses more on what to eat than when, so it's totally compatible with NoS. Still, it's only a phase. Vanilla again today, but I had a really big Italian dinner with my friend - focaccia with butter, slice of her pizza, and my own lasagne plate. I'm getting b...

eschano, I've always wished I had so much success with compliance and NoS in general as you had. But apparently, "no snacking" is far more important to me than "no sweets". And I firmly believe that in order to stop bingeing, one first needs to stop restricting. I certainly haven't been perfect this...

52.5/115 I snacked and had sweets on Friday - not a full-blown binge, so that's something. But still RED . Had a lightbulb moment just when I was about to go wild and get a pile of biscuits, because I'VE BLOWN IT ANYWAY WHO CARES, but caught myself in the right moment thinking: you're just going to ...

Drilling myself in: "That's not a diet. Eat enough. Don't skimp". Eating normal, full meals makes it all a lot more doable. B: 1/2 cup porridge, strawberries, smoked salmon/lettuce sandwich L: buckwheat with feta and spinach, 1/2 banana, handful of pretzels D: slice of turkey meatloaf, 2 small potat...

Can you guess that I'm giving vanilla yet another shot? It works for so many people, I keep wishing it would work for ...

I'm so fed up with myself. Apparently, I have acquired a nasty binge habit in the last 6+ months. Doesn't matter, vanilla or not... I usually binge twice a week. Not good. Not good at all. B: egg salad, 1/2 multigrain roll, 1/2 huge tomato, 1/2 banana small cafe au lait with sugar L: handful of pret...

Things have been good here, and new flat keeps me busy. Nothing has yet been done there, so it's basically just floor and walls, but I'm hapy nonetheless. I've been allowing myself sweets on my plates, and not beating myself up for sharing pretzels with my colleagues on especially stressful days. No...

Binge. Trying to understand what's going on. I don't have any big psychological needs/problems right now - or so it seems... Most probable culprits: the fear hiding at the darkest corner of my mind (I rejected a job offer from goddamn LONDON, I must be out of my mind, and I'm going to regret it in a...

Oh dear. Another over-the-top weekend. I've gained weight over the last two weeks - some of it due to overfilled plates, but some due to weekend overindulgence. But this time I'm not going to abandon the structure of vanilla No S, I really want to stick with it until July. I'll try to use various pr...

FAILURE. Oops. The day started fine, then things went downhill: first my boss brought us some cake (I only took one forkful, just to be polite), then my brother popped in with his family, and we had an early Mother's Day - with obligatory cupcakes. I gave in and had two. Marking it and moving on. R...

SUCCESS. My boss must have sensed something, because he has announced another pay raise for me (less than a year after the first one!), plus a substantial bonus this month. Yay! I didn't even mean to leave my current job, that offer from London was... well, I never really considered it in a serious...

FAILURE. A cookie with lunch, and some pretzels plus ice cream afterwards. I managed to keep the rest of the day green, though, and didn't binge as I usually do. Every time I have a little bit of something sweet (either because I genuinely crave it, or because some opportunity to indulge presents i...

I'd suggest plain old vanilla No S, with some doable meal schedule to follow, with 4-6 hours between eating events. If you are feeling snacky, you can always have some caloric beverage, as much and as often as you need. And don't be afraid of having overfilled plates at the beginning. I'm the self-s...
