Anyone start already smaller?
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2017 5:29 am
I was wondering if anyone on here was already either at a goal weight, or close to goal weight when they started. And also if anyone started doing No S after a deprivation diet.
This is my situation; I have lost the bigger chunk of the weight already, my goal range is 110-115 at 5 ft even. Right now I weigh 125. I was 115 a few weeks ago due to water fasting for 27 days. The truth is I've lost pretty much all of my weight through either severe calorie restriction or some form of fasting. So now Im nervous about gaining even more weight by doing this.
I already don't eat sweets, so No S will actually INCREASE my sweets intake to weekends. And since i was either always skipping breakfast, fasting every other day, or only eating 500 calories a day, following no S will also increase the amount of food I eat. So I am confused as to how it would help me lose weight?
One of the main reasons I am doing this diet is for the psychological aspect, I have problems with disordered eating and body image, and this will help me be free from my food obsession. But if I start packing on the pounds Im afraid that would have an opposite affect from peace.
Two years ago I lost weight through deprivation, I got down to 132 from 167, but I saw how obsessive and crazy I was becoming, so I looked into intuitive eating and health at every size. I gained like 14 pounds back in one month! They said to eat what my body was craving and eventually my cravings will subside and my weight will regulate, and that the weight gain is just post diet weight gain. But my cravings never went away. The more sweets i ate, the more i wanted. I became utterly depressed. I do not want to go down that road again. I think this is different though, because sweets are just delegated to weekends. With intuitive eating I think I was snacking all day and eating sweets all day too.
My biggest hope is that I will eventually start losing weight gradually, I love the simplicity of this and can see myself doing it for life, but I don't want weight gain to be a big problem.
I have been making mostly healthy choices just because I've been eating that way now for over a year, so eating fruits and vegetables are sort of a habit already. I just always limit my breads because they make me retain water and look heavier. But now, since starting this the other day I've been having a bagel for lunch with an orange or banana.
I better get going, but to restate my question again: has anyone started No S close to a normal weight or your goal weight? Did you gain any weight? How much? Did you end up losing it? Thank you
I think I fit most of the "hard losers" category! Im a short female who isn't technically overweight anymore (129 and I will be), and Im 33 so my metabolism is slowing down. But I do run a few times a week and try to stay active.
Okay, now I really need to go lol!
