Hi - I'm new

[laurie in ok]

I just ordered the book. I've been reading posts and researching the No S Diet for about a week now - and I'm really nervous. I haven't started yet - we are going out of town for New Years, and then my ds birthday is Sunday with his party on Monday. I am thinking I will start on Tuesday of next week.

I am using this time to be aware of my snacking, and trying to cut it down. I'm eating a bigger breakfast and cut out all morning snacking. It's afternoons and evenings that are getting me. I'm excited to read the book and find out about suggestions for getting through the first 21 days to habit.

I am working at being hungry at mealtime - over Christmas I don't think I went more than a few minutes with a twinge of hunger.

BTW - I am a mom of two 6 and 9 (the 6yo turns 7 on Sun) and I have a great husband. We are both working out alot more - riding bikes (we bought an indoor trainer) and he has lost all of his weight. I haven't.

I homeschool my kids - so that will add a small degree of difficulty, b/c I will be home all day right by all the snacks - but I really want to committ.

I forgot to mention, that I've done every diet in the world; I'm sure like many of you. I lost alot of weight on WW and kept it off for about 2 years before gaining it back and more. I know plans like that won't last b/c I'm not going to weigh and measure every thing I eat for the rest of my life. I was looking for something different, and I'm so excited I found this.

So, hello, and I'm excited to join you on this journey.

If you eat mostly healthily and lay off the sweets, seconds,and snacks (though I think we all need a LITTLE snack once in a while), you will be fine! Make sure to eat lots of veggies and protein and GOOD carbs (whole grains) to keep you full between meals and if you really need a snack, I suggest fruit or a very small portion of something, maybe once a day.
