Back on the Wagon!

Post by storm fox » Mon Jul 13, 2009 3:20 pm

Hey, I'm trying to get my act together, and that includes getting back to the No-S habit. I keep falling off the wagon in times of chaos and disorder, which is not big surprise, but it is a big concern, for the reasons mentioned in the book.

Welcome back! I know it's hard to stay on track when chaos hits, but it you get the right habits solidified no-S will actually serve you in times of chaos rather than serve as "one more thing to worry about/feel bad about." At least, that's what the experienced no-essers tell me; I'm still working on doing the right thing when stressed myself. Good luck to you!

Welcome back!
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me

I do well on No S, and I find it liveable, and it deals with my excesses pretty well. What's not to like?

Welcome back. I have been on and off the wagon. The wagon is the best place to be! It's simple and it's free!

Good for you! There's a point with this thing where inertia sort of kicks in, as the rules really become established as a habit. 21 days of vanilla No S will get you there.

Vanilla no-S is "No snacks, no sweets, no seconds, except (sometimes) on days that start with S".

In other words the No-S diets with no tweaks or mods of any kind.

In other words, original No S, with no additional "tweaks" or "modifications."

Storm, it's great to see you here again.

Stress is tough. But I think at some point if you keep bounching back something clicks and your habits become (more or less) stress proof.

The thing I find very helpful to keep in mind almost as a sort of mantra is that no s (and the other everyday systems) actually HELP with stress by providing an island of sanity and stability in a sea of chaos swirling all around you. It may seem harder to keep these habits up, but it's actually easier.
