Someone told me about this No S Diet ("diet") many months ago and I brushed them off, but it stuck with me, back in the recesses of my brain somewhere. A few days ago, I dusted off the cobwebs and decided to check it out. Yesterday, I started the "program" (I use quotations because it's not really a diet or a program, but rather a ridiculously obvious, natural, normal way to eat, not some diet plan. It's a get-out-of-your-gluttonous-American-way-of-eating-and-eat-normally plan.
That's me -- Gluttonous American. I have 100 pounds to shed.

Yesterday I ate too much at meal times, but I did not snack, or have any sweets, or go for more (not that I could fit more).
Breakfast was a bowl of fiber one cereal with milk and that was plenty for me. Lunch, though. Lunch was potatoes, corn and a banana -- too much yellow/white and too much food. But it was lunch. Dinner was soup and bread with peanut butter and applesauce and grapes. Too much bread. I was stuffed. But it carried me over till bedtime. I was hungry when I woke up, which is nice. I am not usually hungry in the morning.
This morning was eggs, biscuits, and a slice of cheese. A good, filling breakfast. Eventually I hope to make healthier choices, like maybe a bowl of oats instead of biscuits? But for now, at least for now, I am going to focus on the very, very basics of this: sweets, snacks, and seconds.
This board feels heavily male. That's really cool, because most other "diet" boards are not -- there are usually a couple men but mainly women. It's nice to see men posting. Maybe my husband will join in.
I am a planner. I try to decide what I'm serving and eating ahead of time. I've already decided that my S treat this weekend is going to be a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Well, a slice of said cake, anyway. I don't lose weight fast, even when I'm following a strict diet plan to the letter so I won't be gorging myself on the weekends, but I think a nice sweet treat to look forward to at the end of a successful week is a fabulous incentive.
So anyway, I'm Michelle but please call me Mickie instead. I'll try to set up one of those signature things soon.
