Everyday Systems

I've been struggling to find a plan I can stick with day in and day out, over the LONG haul of my life. The NoSDiet is simple, elegant, and intelligent. I'm eager to give it a go. Thanks!

Welcome Habitrunner...

I'm no expert, but after 8 weeks on this I am saying the say thing as you did.... I wanted "a plan I can stick with day in and day out, over the LONG haul of my life." I'm even more convinced after these weeks doing this that we've found what we were looking for!

If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend starting a Habitcal so you can see your progress. There are days (like yesterday) that I choose NOT to eat anything I shouldn't because I don't want to mess up my green & yellow calendar. Adding a red day to it is NOT on my happy list!

Welcome again!

Some years ago I was on a plan that worked for me in terms of weight loss and health benefits, but it made cooking for my family a challenge. That's putting it mildly!

I accidentally found a meal plan that I knew would work for everyone -- keep me healthy and provide food they would eat. This is an extension of that.

This is as simple as it gets. Good luck to you!

By the way, I don't use HabitCal. To me, it makes it a "diet" in the bad way.

Wosnes....I hadn't thought of Habitcal like that, but I can see how it might not be a good tool for everyone. It's always good to be reminded that what works for one person might not for another.

Keeping track of things -- weight, habits, and so on -- has always been counterproductive for me. One of those quirky things about my personality/psychological make-up, I guess.

On the other hand, a list that serves as a reminder of what I need to do and can cross off things as they're done -- that works for me.

habitualrunner,

this is where i was when I stumbled across No S about six months, so far it has filled the bill wonderfully!

WELCOME!

The NoSDiet is simple, elegant, and intelligent.

Yes, yes, yes it is!

Love the Ben Franklin quote...

I'm obvious a big fan of the habitcal (hoping to release some significant improvements to it this week!), but it's certainly not necessary. I didn't even think of it till I'd already been practicing no-s and other systems for several years.

This is the end of day number 3 and I'm as happy as a clam! No S is working beautifully for me and I'm totally into the HabitCal. I agree with howfunisthat about not wanting to mess up a string of greens on the calendar.

Anyway, what made me even happier tonight was that I finally figured out how to read your responses (I'm a newbie to bulletin boards). You were all so great. This virtual community thing is really cool. Who doesn't need new, supportive friends during times like these?!

Lastly, I wanted to let Blueskighs know that I saw her blog and it's really impressive. I feel like I make "picture" worthy meals too--what a great tribute to your efforts on behalf of your own health and happiness to capture them digitally and put them proudly on your blog for us to see.

And to Reinhard--I thought you might appreciate that particular Ben Franklin quote. He's concise and wise here and really speaks to what we're all trying to accomplish with No S.

Look forward to keeping up with you all!
