Overdoing it on S days
Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 4:22 am
I am new and have read many of the threads but may have missed information on my query. If so , I apologize.
My query relates to the S days. I started nosing last Monday and have done well. Stuck to my three meals etc. Today (Saturday) is my first S day. In the past I have been a binge eater. I can eat all day. I am so tempted to do that today. But if I don't have some treats I feel that I won't stay on the diet long term.
So my question is - should I make sure I am strict with the NS days and allow myself some freedom on the S days until I feel I can cut back on the binge eating? Or as an alternative should I eat some treats but make sure they are at mealtimes so they at least form part of the three meals a day structure of the diet. Or any other suggestions that you can come up with.
I have struggled with willpower in the past and really want to have some system in my life that allows me to feel more normal about food. Just being able to eat three meals without counting, weighing, reading or obsessing about grams of this or percentages of that is a huge burden off my shoulders. I just want to get to feel comfortable with the freedoms of the S days and this will be my diet for life.
