Everyday Systems

Hi Everyone! My name is Linda. I'm new to the No S Diet, Ive tried a couple of times this month and have had a little problem with sticking with it. But I think most of that is due to not being really committed.

So I thought if I posted and introduced myself that this would help strengthen my committment. I really love it when I follow the No S guidelines. I feel free and like a normal eater. I tend to have issues with emotional eating. I hate counting calories and having tons of food restrictions. I know this plan is something I can live with. I've dieted and dealt with weight issues all my life and I want off the diet train. I want to be free from constantly thinking about what I should or shouldn't eat.

Thanks for listening!

Linda,

ditto, ditto for me! WELCOME!

Welcome! I do think it becomes more natural to think less about food as we continue with this. Hopefully the added accountability here is helpful to you too!

Welcome Linda! Good luck. You will enjoy doing this. Give it some time and practice and let us know how you are doing

Welcome, Linda!, you'll love it here.

Hi Linda -- believe me, you have come to the right place ... be sure to post for help if you run into difficulties. This is a very supportive forum, not surprisingly, because the No-S lifestyle actually works! I cannot tell you how much it has helped me over the last two months! Best wishes to you!

Thank you for the welcome! It has already made me feel so much more committed.

Thank you everyone!

Linda

Hi Linda,

I could have copied your message and just changed my name to the signature....it's also my story. I've been here since the end of July & can't imagine eating any other way - EVER. The counting & measuring & planning is not something that can be sustained for life....it's just not possible. And instead of DE-emphasizing food, those types of plans put MORE emphasis on food and create and atmosphere of tension. No wonder I hated those diets!

If you haven't read the book, I'd recommend getting it. Mine has been read over & over and I love making notes in it....it's well worth the minimal cost & is full of encouragement.

Again, welcome...you'll find so much encouragement here....I wouldn't be where I am without the support I've had from wonderful people on this forum!
