Take 3
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 1:44 am
Hi Everyone,
I think the third time will be the charm.
I started No S a few months back and didn't make it past a few days. I had a couple red days and let my all-or-nothing attitude sabotage me.
My second attempt lasted 6 weeks from mid-Oct to this past Dec 2. I had a wicked craving for snacks and junk on a Monday, and it was the beginning of the end.
So now to take 3:
I've made a list of all the things that appeal to me about No S. That way I have something to refer to in order to stay motivated while I create my new habit. BTW, I started Jan 1, so it's been a bit over 2 weeks. The "S days gone wild" in attempt #2 have been toned down as well.
Here's what appeals to me about No S and why I keep coming back:
1) no weighing, counting, or measuring anything
2) it will allow me to stop obsessing about food. I have my meal and forget about it until the next time
3) it's easy to fit in with holidays, eating out, etc
4) it's do-able long term
5) I will hop off the diet bandwagon permanently as I effortlessly find and maintain my ideal weight.
I get a lot of exercise, so any excess weight I might have (only a few pounds) will come off easily.
The No S diet is simple, but really ingenious when you consider all the pros I've listed. The only challenge for me is not snacking during the week. I know this will get easier as my habit becomes more ingrained.
So hi to everyone.
