Hello,
I'm new to No S and to this forum. In fact, I don't join forums much at all so forgive me if I breach the etiquette with a new post.
I've read the book. I did it for two weeks, liked it, and then fell off the wagon. I'm going to start again tomorrow! Let's hope for a more long term success. Maybe a forum and other tools will help!

I'm sure we all fall off the wagon. The trick is to immediately climb back on the wagon. People who eat like this naturally or normally (who don't see it as a "diet") fall off the wagon, too. Whether it's for one meal or a day or more, they just get back to normal as quickly as possible and don't give it a lot of thought.
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do. Not that the nature of the thing itself has changed but our power to do it is increased." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just keep going until falling off the wagon really is just a fall off the wagon and not a long trudge on a dusty, dirt road...
I'll say it again. This is not a diet; this is feeding yourself in a consistent, flexible, reasonable way. When it becomes a habit, you are going to feel sorry for people who are still caught up in the frustration. But you'll keep it to yourself until they ask.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
This post just spoke volumes to me!!! I especially LOVE the part about feeling sorry for people still caught up in the frustration.
That's good stuff right there. Mmhmm. Especially as I'm trying to get off this long, dusty road. I'm on the wagon but one foot is dragging the ground. I just want to stay firmly seated!

Welcome, mcs!
Ditto what oolala53 said about habit, and ditto what r.jean said about the habitcal. Marking those little squares is a great way to deal with failure in an honest but not discouraging way -- and to keep the focus on behavior and habit rather than the results that will derive from them.
