Tomorrow, I will complete 6 weeks of the NO S diet. I was planning on weighing but have decided to postpone a bit longer. I am not feeling any changes yet in my clothing and I don't want to get discouraged if the scale does not show a loss.
I have been following the rules very strictly. I don't feel I am ready for any modifications. I have now begun to reduce my portion sizes at my meal times with no noticeable increase in hunger. I still struggle from 5:00 pm until dinner (about 6:30) but have been able to manage the hunger with a large glass of diet 7-up mixed with 2 oz of light cranberry juice.
I am no longer binge eat on the weekends. It is nothing to go 4 or 5 hours now with little or no hunger. I am surprised how quickly my body has retrained itself. The craving for sweets is mostly gone now. I had one tough day when a coworker brought her famous apple cake to work. Oh, how I love her apple cake with a cup of coffee in the morning! Anyway, I resisted, but it was so difficult.
To all of you who are just starting out. Be patient. My first 3 weeks were really difficult, but I can tell you from experience it does get easier.

Congratulations on your six week success! The beginning is the hardest bit, so you are well on your way.Mrs. H wrote:I had one tough day when a coworker brought her famous apple cake to work.

On rare occasions when there is a really delectable home-made goodie on offer at work or at home, I take a piece "for later" and put it in the freezer for the weekend. Nobody seems to mind this, and I have the pleasure of anticipation as well as enjoying the goodie.
