Re-committing (again) and a question
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 7:39 am
Some years ago, I lost 140 pounds by following a diet, and I kept the weight off for seven years. Needless to say, there were many, many bad days during those years, but even when I wasn't actually on the diet on a given day, I was still committed to it. I didn't not jump from diet to diet mentally or in reality.
I feel the same way about NoS. I have been virtually ignoring it the past few weeks, what with freezing weather, fighting off a cold, running around doing too much, parties and holiday folderol, shopping, etc., but I still feel committed to it.
Time to get going, though, or it will slip through my fingers. So tomorrow, Friday, I resume.
One question troubles me, though - I sent away for a couple of different diet/fasting books, partly out of curiosity and habit. I don't WANT to do anything other than NoS (having 57 years of failure with them to my credit), and I'm almost afraid to even read anything else, afraid I'll be tempted away and led down the garden path again.
Do any of you continue reading and learning about other methods, or have you laid all alternatives to rest? Is it "dangerous" to even skim some other diet book?
