okay the rest of October is vanilla no s, anyone with me?

No Snacks, no sweets, no seconds. Except on Days that start with S. Too simple for you? Simple is why it works. Look here for questions, introductions, support, success stories.

Birthday parties, lots of changes right now, but I'm getting back in my groove today. Vanilla for the rest of October. I know I can do it!

Count me in! I've issued a challenge to myself in my daily check-in. Made a calendar and everything!

I'm in. I'm on my second go-round (did No-S about 2 years ago) and I'm so burned out on diets that I don't want to add any more rules to this very simple system. Per my post today, though, I had a rather depressing S weekend, so I might somewhat modify that after a while....we'll see how next weekend goes.

In, though weekends are my biggest issue. However, I did have several red days at the end of September. I was reminded on a podcast that mods are not in order until I've had several weeks again of compliance. And I'm exercising now, so theoretically I shouldn't be messing with S days. We'll see what happens. I'd so like to be about 7 lbs. (or more) down consistently by Christmas. Actually, I'd like to be down 15, but let's be reasonable.

My only NWS day this month was the 1st, for Simchat Torah (a Jewish holiday). My only mod is that days begin at dinner time for me. About ten hours to go till my S days start! (Dinner is usually pretty late in our household)

So far so good. I'd like to make this my first month with no red days.

Technically, I've been Vanilla No S, though I ate more on the weekend than I hoped to, but less than on some others. Just had a cookie with my breakfast.

If I make it to dinner time tonight, I will have done it- my first month with no red days. And I can have dinner pretty much when I want to, because my husband's away.

"Vanilla NoS" is a term people use to describe sticking to the basic plan: no snacks, no sweets, no seconds, except on days starting with S. That is, "vanilla" includes no extra exceptions, and no extra restrictions. (No "mods", to introduce another term you may see, short for "modifications", and coming from a similar usage in computer software.)

Thanks, DaveMc.
