Hi Ericj313, Welcome! You're not alone in that. Often it calms down- maybe give it a little bit more time, and notice how bad you feel physically and emotionally after a binge evening and it may self correct with that feedback. If not, you could make S days something like "I will have one (sweet or ...

B: decaf coffee w/creamer, peanuts, baked beans, oven fries, tomato, mushroom L: pecans, tuna salad on pasta, 5 dates, herbal tea S: fish, chic peas, rice Just kind of an unremarkable eating day, but the food was satisfying. I guess I could stand to get some more fresh fruit and vegetables, but it's...

Yay, joasia, good for you! Congratulations on your success. An 80# loss is really fantastic! Feel free to post something on the testimonials board. I'd love to hear more about how it worked for you, and I'm sure it would encourage others, too! Edited to say- Oh, OK, I see you over there on the Gener...

Hi Linda- Yes, your body will probably cast the deciding vote. No harm in trying to give it a nudge to get to the weight you think would be healthiest for you, but yeah, bodies have a way of winning out. If it meant eating as you are now, to maintain the weight goal you set would you be willing to d...

Hi gingerpie, Thanks for checking in with the quiet voice of reason. I like your idea of low-key obstinance. That sounds reasonable to me. I think I need to practice it more. Things have gone well lately, as I haven't had much food related social interaction. I was really proud of myself on Saturday...

I should concentrate on an area of intense interest and have people come to me for my expertise.

Hi Linda- Wow, I wish I could stop by for some pizza, especially the artichoke w/pesto! Do you have a brick oven, or do you have some way to do that on a grill? Sounds like you've had some fun social occasions lately, which have involved food. We're social creatures and part of that is eating togeth...

The main reason the women DON'T want to lose weight? They are afraid their husbands won't be attracted to them anymore! Hi oolala, I read a humorous piece a while back about young guys in the culture, who were trying to be cool and pretend to be attracted to thin women, but really deep down wanted ...

Hi oolala- I bet there are some similarities between here and Iran... both being more "traditional societies". One IS encouraged to eat a lot, and the being overweight is a mixed bag... traditional ladies prefer to be heavier and modern ladies prefer to follow the more worldwide fashion standard to ...

I suppose the notion that we have to accept everything that is offered to us came from a time when folks didn't have much to offer. Consequently, they were making a real sacrifice by sharing/offering us a gift of food Thanks gingerpie! I really appreciate your stopping by with wisdom and support. F...

Nice, moderate S day. I think my new mindset is right on target. Hi Linda- Good on you for thinking through different possiblilites and scenarios. It is all part of the process, isn't it? I've changed gears so many times on NoS over these 5 years, and am so glad the basic structure allows for it. B...

I'm reactivating this thread because I need some accountability and perhaps if anyone is giving any, some support. I didn't do too badly while traveling recently, about generally avoiding sugar, and when I did indulge, it was OK, as I knew there would be social occasions where I didn't want to "miss...

Hi Linda- Thanks for stopping by. I use the https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/HackDiet site. It's free and I just type in my weight on every day that I weigh in. I love generally reading over the Hacker's Diet stuff, too. It's more calorie counting oriented than NoS, but it's written in a fun way and...

Hi minkalue- Welcome! What you say makes a lot of sense. I have found that NoS is really sane and a good way to eat in a "normal" way, which most diet fail to do. I have had my stretches of giving up for whatever reason, and have also combined NoS with other diet tricks (with variable success) but t...

Well, my weight seems to have taken a turn for the better as shown on my rolling averages chart. So... I gained a total of 6# on my 5 week trip away, and have lost 3# since my return (the past 2 weeks). That is good to see, that the loss is going at about the same rate as the gain came. It is not al...

I realize that part of being satisfied with 3 plates of food for me, is including something crunchy. It matters not whether that is peanuts or raw carrots. The problem is that it's easy to reach into a bag of peanuts, but not so easy to have grated carrot or carrot sticks readily available. So, I am...
