Everyday Systems

Yesterday I spent about 4 hours in my car after work running my kids around to their various activities and was getting pretty hungry. Well.....since Gray's Anatomy came back on last night I declared that I was not going to cook and so we decided on pizza and wings. I was "starving" by the time we got home and everything looked soooo good that I was ready to declare the day a failure. I got a plate and put on one slice of pizza and 4 wings, told the rest that I'd be back for them later. I ate what was on my plate and then it happened.........my head told me you aren't hungry anymore! OMG that was a huge "AHA" moment!

Just wanted to share with y'all since no one else knows about nos

Woo Hoo! That's great -- keep up the good work!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for writing the book. I have just ordered it from Amazon and plan on reading the second it gets here. Since I work two jobs and have a home life, I am having a bit of trouble reading everything on the forum, the book should help bring me up-to-speed.

I am also JUST BEGINNING with a need to lose 50 pounds! I want this to work, and am looking forward to practicing until I have my 'big' moment!

Hey Sassy,

Your profile says Texas but you sound like you are from western New York...pizza and wings?

Congrats!

Congrats! That's great!

And, I had one of those type of days yesterday -- where, as you said, I was ready to "declare the day a failure". Luckily, i didn't... I just walked away from the temptation. But, MAN was it hard!

Sassy,

that is great!

Great! I know what you mean. Last night we went to pizza hut and I got a salad and had two little slices of pizza we tried the new singles. They wern't that good they even tasted kinda sweet not a good taste for pizza. Before I would have eaten more no matter wht it was like. Yea for NoS. Have a good S weekend. Patti

That's too cool!

Ya for the power of habit being used for GOOD!

Excellent, Sassy. I've had similar things happen....simply amazing, isn't it?!?

Good job on being full and not having anymore. What a great feeling, to just let yourself be full.

I have had a few perfect days, which are challenging and a few days of not perfect days.

The days I have that aren't perfect are the resulf of eating a sweet or two out of anger or being upset. But I eat the sweet with meals.

The snacking doesn't really happen anymore, it's quite amazing.

Now that sancking doesn't really happen anymore, I realize HOW MUCH FREAKING FOOD I used to eat!--but really convinced myself I "wasn't" eating it, because I felt guilty and scarfed it down in the car, standing up, etc.

All meals are now eaten sitting down, I focus on each bite.

Can't wait to iron out all these eating quirks, but being patient with myself.
