Back in No S land
Hello, I joined in 2009, I think and posted maybe 5 or 6 times. I read all the stuff through, and over the next 6 years I lost 40kg,( 80 pounds?)and took up endurance trail running.
Now it has not been all NoS, I have been eating a plant based diet for much of that time, and a few other diets as well. And there have been long periods of certainly NOT no S-ing. But for much of the last 6 years behind everything I have done has been the basic principles; treats are treats, eat them on the weekends; don't eat between meals; don't have seconds.
However, I have started to overeat again. I had a very bad fall, running downhill fast, and had to take a running break (stitches and other boring stuff) then I went on an overseas trip....holiday time! Eat! And what with one thing and another my weight is creeping back up. I am now back up 8 kg. I wasn't weighing myself but I started back running this week. Not only do I not fit all my running clothes anymore, but I feel so fat and heavy out on the trail. So I weighed myself...aaaggghhhh
I am only running very slowly as yet and doing a lot of walking, but I was out for 2 hours this morning. So that is the exercise back again....although I am nervy running downhill!
Now to tackle the overeating....and we all know how to do that!
So here I am...a 53 year old menopausal woman, trail runner, mum of 3...now mostly all grown, just celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary, and soon to be slim again. (I went from a high of 110kg in 2010 to a low of 70kg in 1012, maintained 2 kg either way....until now.... 78kg....)

Hi Tacodiscos and Gingerpie, good to meet you.
Yes I'm sorry I had to come back too, but on the other hand, I've done it before, I can do it again. And it's better to catch it now rather than wait (weight!) until matters get really bad.
And maybe I have something I can help others with as well.
Taco, what do you do to work out?

A lot of times it's easy to stay on No S if you have a familiar daily schedule. Then when something changes or you go on vacation, it can throw things out of whack and then all of a sudden you're not doing No S anymore. If you are prepared in advance for these changes, it can help you stick to No S.

Although I have gotten derailed a bit by being off-schedule, so to speak, I've also been able to stay with it in unusual circumstances often as well by appealing to my inner moderation, which I regard akin to the inner drives of thin people, who tend to navigate most sitations in a way that keeps them on balance with small bumps. It helps that almost anywhere I can get a cup of coffee with creamer to let me roll with the punches! That has taken me through several vacations with very few extra S days.
