Thanks, Jammin' Jan!
Fell off the wagon last night though. I took my DD (Darling Daughter) out to a seafood dinner to celebrate her very good school report

, then ate half of her meal after I finished mine! Woooah - I don't do that when I'm not dieting. I think it was a reaction to the silly snacking of Sunday (Well, ok, it could also have been the promised deliciousness of those prawn cutlets - not her chips though! - and I was pretty hungry.)
I'm noticing more and more how hard it is to get back to sensible No-S eating if you've had a very uncontrolled day on a Sunday. (We had a Xmas picnic with a group of close friends on Sunday and we were awash with chocolates and home-made sweets, not to mention chips and cheese biscuits, etc, etc...)
Anyway...found I wasn't hungry this morning (all that fish protein last night) and quite absent mindedly forgot to have breakfast. That's unusual for me. It shows me that this program does help to bring you back to eating when you're hungry, rather than obsessing about food and eating for reasons other than hunger. I am always hungry by the time I get to a mealtime on No-S - and that's a nice feeling.
The other thing I am realising about No-S (hey, I'm a newbie), is that it has built into it, a program of getting back up after 'failures' - which is really really useful (and useful in life really!
By letting you eat what you like on S days, but then making you get back to regular eating on No-S days, the program is teaching a manageable way of eating that is far more useful and sustainable than diets where one crash inevitably makes you think you may as well chuck the whole game away. (But hey, as I said, I'm a newbie - ask me again in 6 months time if I'm managing to stick to it!)
