Day 14 SDay, also 14th day of no bingeing.

Congratulations on 21 days, I saw your post there! I am encouraged by you!

Day 13, an S day. I see how psychologically good it feels to have freedom. I don't want to do anything different really, but just knowing there is freedom feels good! I have not binged, or bent the rules at all. I will say that posting has been a big part of it. It really helps! The freedom to be ab...

I'm sticking with it guys!

Day 12 will remain green. I'm halfway to the the 21 day mark. The only time that I am having to exert willpower, a little, is close to bedtime. My willpower muscle is getting stronger, however. I'm so convinced that the strictness of the habits will internalize, that THERE IS NO WAY I'M GOING BACK.

11th day on habit. Green.

lpearl, I read your message this morning and was and am very encouraged by your experience with NoS . Thank you so much. I have liked your signature from the start, and still do. Vanilla No S and 14 mins exercise a day. And wherever that leads is where you're meant to be. That's what I want. Thank y...

Day 9 green. I'm very happy about how it's going. Mainly that I feel so motivated. I haven't been able to stay motivated for more than a day or two in a long time. And was afraid I wouldn't be able to discipline myself anymore. What I realize now is that I had just hit my diet brick wall, at age 57 ...

Thank you Zippadee, hope your week goes well too!
Today is green.

Thanks for your support Allison! I decided to believe Reinhard that bingeing is a habit. It's a habit that CAN be broken, and that's good news. I am carefully re-reading the book and re-listening to the podcasts.

End of week 1 today with a moderate SDay.

This_is_it, reading how a satisfying lunch helped you resist resonated with me. I've been noticing that by choosing something I want at mealtime, I am better able to stick with the nos habits. Good going! Resisting makes us stronger for next time.

SDay Saturday was a successful one for me, no bingeing. I kept the 3 plate habit going, I like that clarity and moderation. I proactively chose to have one piece of my husband's pineapple upside down cake. He has diabetes and bakes delicious sugar free desserts from time to time. Later, after dinner...

Thank you Zip and Buns! for insights and encouragement . I'm giving this 100% priority. Better to be "comically strict" now, no playing around. Wishing everyone who wants NoS freedom the gift of strictness.

As ZippaDee says..... ONWARD!

I am enjoying listening to your audio book, and would definitely purchase if you (hopefully) do it. I love it just as it is. I am also a huge fan of your podcasts. Thank you for everything. I think you are brilliant.

Doing well, 5th green day.

Day 5 is green. Even though all is going well, I feel like I need to reinforce my fences and prepare for any sneak attack from myself that would derail me. I am feeling vigilant, I guess . There is comfort and strength in Reinhard's words regarding this, he says "It's important to remind yourself th...

Day 4 green

To avoid bingeing this coming weekend, I'm reading chapter 5. This jumped out at me in regards to the result of moderate eating, that eventually "you become awake to the joys of the ordinary."

I'm focusing on these habits with you!

Thanks! Day 3 - Green

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am so glad I quit trying to "go it alone."

The forecast for today is green.

I started my "love hate" relationship with weight watchers about 40 years ago plus calorie counting and other stuff. You and I are where we should be, and I will stick with this with you.

Green. Held the thought today (from the No S Diet book) that regarding building habit, strictness makes it easier, it's being lenient that makes it hard. That is going to be my mantra.

I'm counting tomorrow, 1/9/17, as my first day because I'm adding No Bingeing to Vanilla No S. I've been listening to the podcast about S Days Gone Wild and want to follow his advice about not adding extra rules. S Days aren't suppose to be binge days. I've got to break that terrible habit.

My yo yo diet pendulum has swung to a 30lb high, and yet, I know from experience, if I lose it with a "diet" .... I will be saying to myself, oh my gosh, in order to keep this off I will have to live in this "prison". But, if it comes off as a result of the No S becoming a habit .....it should be na...

Oolala, thank you. I'm going to let the book be the culture that influences me. I don't want to obsess about food and weight anymore. There is much more to life than that. You are so right.

Thank you MaggieMay and oolala for your kind words. I am all in and getting encouraged from reading the No S Diet book. Every word he says is worthy of highlighting. Applicable to this challenge from page 147, " This is a marathon, not a sprint. ....Don't sabotage your efforts with quick-fix expecta...

I would like to join this challenge. My husband has been telling me that I should stick with one diet. I change constantly. And I binge the night before starting the new plan. I've been yo yo dieting since childhood. I'm 57. This challenge is perfect.
