crawling back for the zillionth time (or so)

Well, I'm going to No-s tomorrow. No really! My husband probably wouldn't believe me if I told him because everytime I tell him I'm seriously going to actually no s the next day, I make it until dinner time and then totally fall off the wagon. Or I make it until after lunch. The short of it is...sometime during the day I totally suck.
I first heard about no s-ing....ages ago and was pretty happy because that's basically how I ate: During the days I worked, I ate 3 meals and basically didn't snack. The days I didn't work (which varied since I worked retail), I would have s days. Then I got pregnant (4 years ago) and got fell into the "you're pregnant, eat a lot trap!" I got up to 195 but with breastfeeding the weight fell off pretty easily, except the last 10 lbs. I convinced my husband to no s with me and I lost the last 10 lbs and he lost some weight, too. Then Christmas came and we both fell off the wagon and failed to get back on and I regained 5 lbs (!). Then I got pregnant again and despite my vows that I would at least No Sweets except on days that start with s, I failed that one because it just wasn't a habit anymore. Then we bought a house and due to the stress of all that, my husband hit the sugar hard....and started losing weight. We had no idea why until he finally went to the dr and he was diagnosed as a type II diabetic.
As part of his diabetes research after that, he learned that the number of times you eat a day can increase your chances of getting diabetes since everytime you eat, the beta cells in your pancreas have to produce insulin and it causes them to burn out more quickly. This rather makes me wonder if we had both kept no-s-ing, if he wouldn't have been diagnosed with diabetes.
At any rate, I ended the pregnancy at 200lbs (!) a number I had never wanted to see! But again the weight fell off pretty well and I managed to no s again for a while ( a couple of months I think), but then I fell off the wagon again and am having an impossible time getting back on (as mentioned above). I'm at about 165 now, my pre-pregnancy weight was 155. Pre-pre-pregnancy weight was 150. I'd like to get to 145 when all is said and done, but losing the last 10 pregnancy lbs would be a great start and I'm not going to fail any longer! NO more waiting, NO more excuses. I'm going to start this damn diet for realz now and I'm coming here to seek out some support so when I DO want break, you all can hold me back (I hope!). I'm going to post in the daily check up forum and I hope you guys will offer encouragement and help to this wayward No S-er![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
