Losing weight is like eating chocolate. . .

It often is never enough!! Being in this diet trap for most of my life I know the dreaded feeling of stepping on the scale and finding it settle on a weight that I am not happy with. Following the NoS plan (staying clear of the diet word) has put me in a different frame of mind. Today was the day that I had set for my WI. I was nervous (even though my clothes fit differently and I feel better).
Well, this morning, after my second set of 21 successful days I am down another 3 pounds which makes it 9 pounds over 6 weeks. For those of you saying how could that happen, I do have over 60 pounds to lose so it may be much different than being close to your 'happy' weight.
The most successful part is that I don't feel deprived or on a diet (for the most part). A few days ago I went to dinner with friends and had a lovely plate of trout, wild rice, veg and salad (all on the same plate, aren't they clever). My friends were ordering decadent desserts and not only did I not order one, I honestly felt fine enjoying my coffee while not having dessert. That being said, I do enjoy my S days although I do try hard not to be an idiot (at least not both days
).
Keep at it folks, our bodies will thank us.

) Now I just bought one this morning in the serene knowledge that it would be my after lunch dessert. Very nice it was, too, but it was enough. I don't think I could have eaten another four, even if they were there, but I wasn't taking any chances 
I love how No-S has allowed me to ENJOY good food again. It all tastes so much better without a side order of guilt!
