Christmas and No S
Merry (late) Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had a great time. I'm just wondering how you all did in regards to No S. Last Monday I randomly picked up following it strictly again and it was so easy all week, I wondered why I ever lost track with it. I dropped a couple pounds and I'm very proud to say this morning I only gained back 1/2 a pound from the holiday excesses.
I also learned that I enjoy N days much better than S days.
I'm so totally psyched and ready to continue No S and lose some major weight in 2007!

My S days were full-out binges. So much good food that we only have this time of year... And I still tend to overeat on S days anyway (I'm not one who can say "S days are really a lot like N days"... yet.)
However.... even though I ate until my tummy hurt, I didn't mentally beat myself up at the same time. That doesn't sound important, but it really is. Plus, it lasted a limited time period, not from Thanksgiving to New Year's as in previous years.
Today is an N day, and I am glad.

I enjoyed what was available, but since our celebration is quite small, there's not as much available as when there are more people and more food available. I don't make nearly as many treats as I used to and neither does anyone else.

Our family really goes all out for Christmas. It is a lot of work to make everything from scratch. Every year I feel totally stuffed. But this year I had one plate and I felt full, but not stuffed. And it actually felt good to be comfortable rather than feeling like a pig.

Canadians do! But ours is generally focused on massive clearance sales (Boxing Day and Boxing Week sales are major, major business, as is post-Thanksgiving down in America) and not so much on anything traditional/family/dripping with sugar.silverfish wrote:I think Australians get one more Christmas S-Day than Americans - you don't have Boxing Day on the 26th, do you?
