I don't panic anymore.

Post by Over43 » Sat Apr 10, 2010 4:24 am

Although I have been marginally overweight at times, I have never been obese. Which is lucking, considering the gallons of Coke and Mt. Dew I have guzzled, the numbers of Big Macs I have pumped into my belly.

But one thing i didn't realize I suffered from until this week, possibly, is a panic I would get between meals. Or the panic I would feel not thinking I'd be able to eat a certain food. I would be eating a meal, and planning the next meal I was to eat. Or, I would eat dinner, think I was till hungry and hit a drive through.

Now I get up, eat a plate of food and move on. And right now I'm not panicking.

I often think a book could be written about the mental effect of No S. Posters talk about "diet head," and I never before realized how dieting made me obsessed with food. Losing the diet head may be the absolute best thing about No S. I'm glad you're experiencing the calmness!

I totally agree. I am so tired of being obsessed with food and what I am eating and what next diet I will be going on. Thank God for this program which is so simple and basic that it works.

That is great news. I am glad No S is having positive effects on your brain. I do not even obsess about what sweets I'm eating on S days, I just let them come my way and if I feel they are worthy I will have as much as I find enjoyable, which isn't as much as it used to be.
