Hi oolala! I am hearing you on the candies! This week, I'm (also) finding my N Days to be particularly difficult! :roll: :twisted: Bit of background over the past day or so: weelll.... I guess I caved in and went back to my diet club yesterday! Why oh why? I am not kidding! Since doing so, instead o...

NoSRocks

Hi r.jean! I know - it is difficult.... even with the No S Plan being as wonderful as it is, how much peace it has brought me i.e. - I don't suffer the food anxiety and obsession with diets anymore even though I do slip back into old habits by overthinking it at times. I hear what you're saying with...

NoSRocks

....adding my thanks very much Reinhard on here, too!

NoSRocks

Hi r.jean! Thanks for your post! You must have been reading my mind.... after deciding to give it a try this weekend, I must admit I am(now) in a bit of a 'quandry' about using this mod. I guess it must be because weekend is looming and its one thing to talk about doing something but another to actu...

NoSRocks

Thanks again oolala! :D Very helpful as always ! I'll certainly give the S Day mod a try this weekend and we'll see how it goes. Will keep you posted! Don't think I'm 'brave' enough - yet - to try the eat when hungry mod on my N Days though. I like my routine of the 3 meals a day at present. I enjoy...

NoSRocks

Oops, i just realized I forgot to answer your question re. the N Days before signing off, oolala. Generally, no I don't feel exceedingly hungry or just general hunger on my N Days either. Sometimes, particularly when I get bored or I've made an S day treat to be enjoyed on the weekend, I do get crav...

NoSRocks

Hi oolala! :D :D I know I'm always saying thanks but... THANK YOU SO MUCH again for your insightful and inspirational post. (I trust I am not making you feel self-conscious or anything ! LOL! Just kidding...:) Yes, I probably will feel antsy ... in fact, I'm even starting to feel a little antsy now ...

NoSRocks

Hi oolala! Again, thank you SO much for your most helpful and detailed response to my inquiry. Very much appreciated! :) It really helps to read about how you/others tackle those S Days and how you went about approaching your new 'mod' in the first place. It seems to be working very well for you too...

NoSRocks

WELCOME! Sounds like you're doing great!!

NoSRocks

Hi again, oolala! Thanks for your most interesting and helpful posts. It was really great to hear from you this afternoon. I am struggling a bit today... not with cravings but with the No S Plan itself. I am soooo fed up with my ott S Days and my lack of organization with eating on those days also! ...

NoSRocks

Managed to use up most of the full fat yogurts over the weekend. Have bought a really nice selection of the fat free ones to enjoy over the week. Feeling really excited and positive this evening since I just read oolala's post on the general board for handling S Days. I am really keen to try this ou...

NoSRocks

Hi again, oolala! Just posted to your thread on the General Discussion Board re. your mod of "eating only when hungry" on S Days. Thank you so much for this suggestion! I really think it is a great idea and I am glad it is working for you. I know what you mean - it can get difficult sometimes since ...

NoSRocks

Hey oolala, I think we touched on this subject once briefly. Like yourself, I too still have a 'problem' with eating naturally on S Days. My S Days are soooo disorganized and I eat for the sake of it unlike my N Days which I have managed for the most part to stick to the routine of 3 meals with noth...

THESE SUGGESTIONS SOUND DELICIOUS, GUYS! THANKS FOR POSTING!! Well, I feel absolutely stuffed this evening!!

Hi milliem! Sounds like a plan! :D :wink: I always feel a bit guilty for not eating my veggies and I tend to think its just me who feels that way (as we do from time to time).

Thanks, Reinhard!

Sounds great and exciting too!

I will certainly keep a look out for it once it is released !

Many Congratulations and all the best!!

NoSRocks

Debs: GREAT JOB!

I, too, have the strongest cravings at night (worse before I started No S!) and I'd often find it difficult not to cave in and most of the time, have an all out binge.... but that is another story!

Very Well Done!!

NoSRocks

r.jean! You are doing GREAT! Rooting for you - woot!! woot@@

PS: My birthday is just around the corner too .... and my family says I'm hard to buy for as well!

I agree: the mac n cheese alone isn't very nutritious as a dinner choice, particularly on its own with no accompaniments. I usually have some sort of vegetable alongside my evening meal but tonight I was feeling both bloated and if I were being honest, a bit lazy before and after eating the mac n ch...

BTW, I just wanted to add: by having ff yogurt only, I don't feel I am imposing an impossible rule or punishment upon myself since I really enjoy ff yogurt anyway and until recently i.e. the past few months, I pretty much always ate ff or lf yogurt... and that is the sentiment for any forthcoming mo...

Hi oolala! Thanks again for stopping by! Yeah, I'll have to think about that one... this weekend might not be a the ideal one to use as an example: a friend of mine is having a big birthday celebration on Saturday.

Well... I'm back to 170 lbs this morning! I still have faith - LOL!

I echo everything that the two posters before me have said! Really excellent advice, guys for ALL of us, thank you!!

Hovering between 167 and 168 lbs on the scales this morning. Not too bad, I suppose.
