BritishFool, Try not to let one small slip turn into WTH syndrome. If you had a snack, it does not have to turn into binge. I am also addicted to sugar.

S Days Wednesday and Saturday
I decided to make Wednesday and Saturday my S days. Actually, those will be more like 'S events' - something sweet after dinner. If I include a lot of S's in the same day, I don't feel good.
Is anyone else doing something similar?

What Your S days Look Like?
I have a question for the successful No S-ers:
What Your S days Look Like?
Are they pretty tame, or wild, or somewhere in between? Did they change over time? Is your Monday harder than other N days? Are there people who use only one S day?
I am hoping to learn from your experience
