When I first started No S, it was constantly on my mind. All day long, I'd be thinking about it. When I can eat, reminding myself not to snack or lick the spoon or whatever.
Several weeks in, I no longer thought that much about it, but I started really noticing how often I would have snacked. For instance, many times during the day it would hit me that "hey..I would have grabbed a bite right now...or, I would have had a snack with my kids" etc. It really hit me how much less I was eating since I wasn't snacking.
Today I noticed that I'm not even thinking that way anymore. I don't even think about snacking (unless I'm really hungry or something). It' like I've gotten to a point that maybe this new habit is taking root! It's so interesting to see how my thinking has changed over the past few months!
I'm noticing my thinking is changing!

Hi alice2002, I totally agree with you. I had no idea how much food I was eating and not even thinking about it. I must have consumed about 400 extra calories while cooking alone! Now - I still catch myself ready to pop a chopped veggie for a salad in my mouth and I have to step away from the chopped carrot.
I think what people need to see is that successful, happy, longterm moderate eating is as much about what we think- or don't think- as about what we do.
