I'm back again. And this time I can really do it. I have a goal. I have a wedding to attend where I am the maid of honor at the end of May.
No S is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Due to the changes in my eating, exercise, and working situations... I have jumped off the No S train for a few years, finding it impossible to get back on. But as of right now... I am ready.
I think that is really key: I am ready. If you are not ready and you don't believe in it... it won't work. I know it works because when I did No S years ago, I lost almost 25 lbs and was down to my ideal weight. I have "weigh" more to go now after having a baby and working at a bakery for two years. Now I am in a cube so there isn't so much walking, but there are no baked goods... The weather is changing to warm and I will start getting that needed exercise in.
: ) I have come up with a new motto this time "Death to the Sweet Tooth!" Right now, my sweet tooth is getting the boot. No Easter candy fro me yesterday and I am so pleased!

You are EXACTLY right! It's the same with exercise (with me, at least).oliviamanda wrote:I think that is really key: I am ready. If you are not ready and you don't believe in it... it won't work.
Like you, I'm back on the wagon after a hiatus of other diets that worked as they always do: i.e., I lost some weight, couldn't stick to the stringent dieting, and then gained it back and then some.
When will I learn? I hope that this is it.
Your past success on No-S is encouraging, so best wishes this time!

Thanks! You are right about jumping to other diets, too. It's like the search is always on to find those miracle foods, etc. I read this book called Skinny Bitch... and it basically was an in your face book encouraging you to get off coffee (for the acidity), cigs (not a problem for me), meat and dairy. Well, since my husband went vegetarian, I also have started to and have been practically meat-free for two months. When I kept a food journal, I was suprised at how much bacon I was eating, for example. I have high cholesterol as it is...
So, I cannot give up dairy, and I don't have a great amount of it, but I have chosen to give up meat temporarily. I think it's encouraging me to eat healthier. I feel better. I know it is very hard to do for most people as it is to give up sweets and snacks ( and seconds : ) ). And on a special occasion I will have meat again.
