Re: The Daily Dandelion
Hi Dandy - I just stopped by to do a quick check-in myself, after many months of absence! Good to hear that you’re doing well. Congratulations on the ‘little guy’’s graduation! Mine went to college, didn’t like it and came home!
She’s working though, so all’s good. Keep up the moderation! 

Re: The Daily Dandelion
I guess it's my yearly attempt at sanity. At least with eating/weight/self.This past year has not been kind to me. It's been a parade of illness, injury and death. Literally.
I long for simplicity.

Re: The Daily Dandelion
Welcome back, Dandelion - I hope you find the simplicity you are seeking - so sorry to hear you've had a rough year.
Re: The Daily Dandelion
I certainly picked the right name for myself. You start thinking I’m gone, and I just pop up again.
I’ve been kinda NoSing unofficially for a while, so thought it would be good to check in. Maybe make it a bit less unofficial. For some reason it’s easier these days than it used to be. ( I hope I didn’t just jinx it)

Re: The Daily Dandelion
Since my last post, my weight seems totally uncontrollable. It has been steadily increasing. Slowly, but definitely. It’s very discouraging.
Of course, stress plays a huge part, I’m sure. But also health issues are starting to play an ever increasing part.
I’m hoping vanilla basics will help set me back on the right track.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that! That had to be so disconcerting. I hope Vanilla No S can help!)Dandelion wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2026 6:06 pmSince my last post, my weight seems totally uncontrollable. It has been steadily increasing. Slowly, but definitely. It’s very discouraging.

Re: The Daily Dandelion
Thanks, Sammy. I don’t feel like I’m being all that excessive, but I’m up even more today.

Re: The Daily Dandelion
You've got this! For me, No S on its own was not enough to get me to lose (I'm very short). So I had to add 3 mods. So far, my mods are what's helping me lose, I think, whereas No S keeps me sane, if that makes sense.
