Those 5 lbs...
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 10:34 pm
Are gone! I've been trying to lost the 5 lbs. I gained freshman year since my sophomore year of college! (I'm 29 now.) For most of the last decade, trying to get rid of those 5 lbs. involved gaining another 10 or 15 on top of them, plus getting compulsive about food. About 7 months of 100% plain vanilla No S, and I'm at my college freshman weight for the first time in a decade. And, even more importantly, I think I've broken my binging habit (really just an unpleasant side-effect of the dieting habit) FOR GOOD.
I still screw up a fair amount...logging in 2-4 red days per month on average...but those screw-ups aren't binges.
Yay! Just wanted to add a testimonial that it's possible even to lose a small amount of "vanity weight" on No S, with some persistence.
And, more than that, I want to say how grateful I am that someone has invented a way (or rather, rediscovered and reemphasized, a way) of eating that just kills the binge/starve pattern that causes so many women in particular so much misery. Yay for structure and the traditional 3 meals a day!

We spend so much time talking about "mods" and variants here that it's great to see another example of plain old vanilla doing the job.
