I've just come back to No-S after close to a year. I started on Tuesday. For some reason, it's different this time. It's easier. I'm taking it more seriously, and I've had 4 green days in a row. Tonight is DH's birthday party with family, and I'm going to enjoy the treats without guilt.
And, I've lost weight already. I'm really reigning in my portions this time and finding myself NOT hungry most of the time. If I do get a little hungry in the afternoons, I drink some water and just realize that being a little hungry is NOT GOING TO KILL ME. I'm sure most of us in modern civilization have no idea what hunger really is. I'm reading the book for the 2nd time and it's clicking better than before. I'm enjoying eating like a normal person with emphasis not only on taste, but good nutrition.
I have realized what a permasnacker I've always been, and I'm going to fix it. Maybe it's because I've done this before, but I feel habits taking hold already.
Eating like a normal/thin person. What a concept!

Welcome, back, Meredith!
You've got plenty of company here; it takes most people a few tries for No-s to click. It's nothing to get down about; replacing bad habits with good ones is HARD, but in the end, so incredibly worth it.

I've actually come to enjoy being a little hungry every now and then! And I think, once you get over the initial hump, you will too. "Appetite is the best sauce."being a little hungry is NOT GOING TO KILL ME
