Everyday Systems

My first S day is tomorrow and I am making cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Do I need to eat a normal one plate meal first and then let myself have a treat? Or is it eat what you want?

I am not going to go crazy, but wondering if I can have the cinnamon rolls as my breakfast by itself.

I know there aren't really any rules but wondering what everyone else has had success with.

Happy NoS'ing!

I've done it both ways. Whatever works and seems right for you.

On S days, I have an after dinner dessert and then seconds of it.
That's what works for me, but then again, snacking is a big issue for me, so I feel better if I don't do any snacking, because I just don't want to be even close to picking up the habit again.

Suzy,

my first set of S days that went well I kept with three very clear meals and that worked. Last weekend my second set of S days we ended up eating breakfast and then lunch so late it became lunch/dinner.

I was surprised I did not want to eat my third meal I had planned on either of those days and was afraid that skipping them would set me up for failure on my N days this week.

Fortunately that did nto happen. I am going to plan three meals for this weekend each day but if I don't get to them I will not despair or force myself to eat.

On S days my husband and I go get donuts and coffee/tea
I get two donuts and one tea .... sticking with no seconds,

I keept he no seconds for my other meals two. I usually have a treat after lunch on Sunday and Saturday, but definitely NOT another one after dinner iif I eat it.

Today is my first NO S day too.
JUST because I am still trying to build/instill the habit of 3 meals a day, I am going to stick to that on my s days. However, I will allow my self a treat or two. I usually make cinnamon rolls and bacon on Sundays. I will have a roll and one or two pieces of bacon. That will be my breakfast.

Good luck to you!

Today is my first S day and I plan to stick to the plan of no S's but have a sweet/dessert tomorrow technically my second S day.

Good luck on whatever you are trying.

Sometimes on weekends (or holidays) we only have brunch and dinner; sometimes breakfast, a late lunch and no dinner; sometimes we have 3 meals. It just depends and I really don't worry about it much. What you do on N days is more important than what you do on S days. As a friend of mine says, "What you do now and then isn't as important as what you do daily."

I do eat my three meals. Sometimes the meals are different.

I had a guest over for breakfast and he wanted pancakes, so that's what I made. While not a HUGE thing with me, I did enjoy being able to have them with good real maple syrup and without guilt.

I'll be having a normal lunch and dinner. Maybe I'll makes something sweet if the Spirit moves me, but I'm not feeling a craving right now. And if I did, by golly I'd enjoy it. I had me some GOOD N days last week.

What is working for me is to eat anything I want for my 3 meals. Anything that fits single layer on my plate. Except for desserts. When S days arrive the only thing I haven't had is dessert(sugar) so the need to binge in rebellion isn't there as there was no deprivation M-F. I really think about what desserts I want. On S(unday) night any remaining desserts get pitched. So N days and s days are the same except for the inclusion of dessert. I don't snack because this is something I need not to do to be able to re-habit. I also don't eat much past 3 hours before bedtime as I want/need to have an appetite for Monday's firts plate.
