Everyday Systems

I have been on No S for 2 days now. I think this is actually going to work for me. The hunger is bad at night after supper, but I do so well during the day that I don't want to blow it at night. I lost a pound, these 2 days, I am going to weigh myself every morning and also keep a food journal. WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Welcome, Gail! Congratulations on your solid start.

The hunger will get better with habit. And feel free to grab a glass of milk if it'll help.

Don't make yourself too crazy with the scales. Weight loss will probably be very slow and jump around a bit.

Gail,

The late night munchies were the hardest for me too. After 4 months I still get a twinge every night at 8PM, but heck after 20 years since I quit smoking I still crave a smoke now and then. Habit is strong. Good news is that good habits are just as strong as bad, I guess they just aren't as much fun to establish. I was as much of a hard case as anyone and now four months later I can't believe how No-S has just become my lifestyle. Once you truly understand the uselessness of snacking it becomes so much easier. I do hope you have the book, it made a world of difference to me. I thought I was doing great a month into it and then I got the book - wow! I discovered so many things that I didn't know and I thought I was such an expert on everything diet related.

Good luck, hang tough, it gets easier!

Good luck to you! You are so right, we can do this. I do concur about the evening hunger. I swear I could have eaten my right leg the first few nights but that has passed and I rarely think of an evening snack anymore.

Gail,

WELCOME!

Hope you're still with us. Really, no s is the only way to go. I have been on more diets than you can count (I'm an old lady, I was around when the first Atkins came out) and this really, really works. It takes time, but it cures your obsession with food. Stick with it. (After sixty days, I still have some trouble with weekends, but that's life - nothing is perfect).
