Major (major) bump here.
But this thread is so relevant to me.
I started No S back in June 2012. I had 3 months of 100% green N-days before I lost my way in September. Throughout this time, I struggled with S-days every single weekend. I have a history of severe restriction - which led to binge eating (something I've struggled with on-off for two years or so)...
I started back on No S on the 18th of March. And my First Sday (last weekend) was horrific. Probably worse than any of my S-days during my first stint.
And looking back on where things went wrong on Saturday - I woke up and even before Lunchtime, I had had some sweets and chocolate.
And despite a comfortable green week - after my first bite, I felt almost as if I couldn't turn down anything that passed by me. This led to what I'd can only truly describe as a binge (cereal, ice cream, cereal bars) which left my face and stomach very bloated and puffy the next morning.
On Sunday I went to my Aunty's house for her Birthday, and the cake and salty snacks were in abundance. Feeling guilty, sorry for myself, and very uncomfortble with my face looking so bloated - I overrate even more.
My mission this weekend wasn't to be 'perfect'.. But simply to go through it without making myself feel so bad again. To 'enjoy' it.
On Saturday I didn't have any sweet until 5:30pm (not really through force, or any rule).. And it was a controlled amount.. That was all I had, along with lunch and dinner. And it was, without doubt the most enjoyable weekend Sday I've ever had.
And I believe that delaying the 'sweets' until later on in the day was what made Saturday much easier.
Today was Easter Sunday. We had my Uncle over, and desserts/eggs etc. I ate more than ideal.. But not at all enough to feel guilty about...
So from now on, I'll be looking to delay my consumption of sweets until later on during my Ndays whenever possible
