I'm sure many of you have considered and discussed this before. I think I've even read discussions on this here before. So I hope this isn't too much of a bore.
As I was listening to Reinhard's interview on the Smarter Science of Slim, it struck me that one of the main reasons I've departed from No S living in the past is that I allowed "sometimes" to, first, become "musts" and then become "all the times" (or at least whenever I wanted). I found myself choosing S's because it would be another week (or whatever the period of abstinence was at the time) before I could indulge in an S if I wanted to, which physically and mentally fed my appetite for more S's and eventually derailed my way of intentional living.
Returning to living No S again, I'm endeavoring to remember that it is except for SOMETIMES on S days. I don't have to take an S day on every S day or weekend and don't need to make the whole day or weekend marked by S choices. And, for me, I think the oftener I choose to not take an S day or weekend, the easier it is to break old habits and to break free of the social inclination toward and my personal appetite for sweets, snacks, or seconds.
As I've been typing this, I've been thinking I want to come to think of N days as Nutritious days rather than No S days. I want to think of them as positive days, and when I think of the term "No S" right this moment, the "no" part reminds me of what I can't have rather than the good that I am choosing. So, for the moment, at least, they're nutritious days for me, which may improve my eating habit further.
