First Week Done!

Post by TSx » Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:35 pm

I thought I'd start NoS for the new year - I do use a few mods of my own but stick to the general idea.

Last weekend was a bit dodgy due to the new year but overall was reasonable. Started properly on Monday and just got through to tonight.

To give you an idea of my eating habits in December, I probably had a few stuffed crust pizzas to myself (probably 3000 calories each), I'd regularly drink soda (2l a day), snack on cheese strings or babybels and generally just eat pretty rubbishly.

Monday to Today I've had two meals a day (I always get up too late for Breakfast) - I'm trying to keep my calories within the bounds of 1200-1500 a day and I know I've managed that. I've also had no temptation - I've been offered chocolate, crisps, pizza, so many things and just said no without even thinking about it. It just seems so much easier now I know what I'm doing. I'm drinking water as well, nothing else (except Alcohol, I'm not going to allow a diet to ruin my social life!)

I'm not going to ruin it by going mental on my S-Days now, I've bought myself 6 cans of (diet) soda, a chicken (quorn) and mushroom slice and a small packet of sweets - these are hardly a gorge but they're 'treats' and it was nice to go round and decide what I wanted.

I weighed about 16.5 stone at the beginning of December, and weighed myself a few days ago and I'm 15.5 stone. It's probably just co-incidence (I've been losing weight since moving here anyway because it's an hour walk to work).

One of the key things I've found is whenever theres an opportunity to break the diet (someone offers me a slice of pizza or some chocolate), I just think to myself that 2010 is a new decade and if I break my eating habits now, I'll not be able to start a fresh decade for 10 years... may not make sense but works for me!

Glad you enjoyed your first week! Welcome to No-S!

And alcohol isn't an S, so you don't need to make any special exceptions for it.

Pizza isn't an S day food, either, as long as your serving fits on a plate.
