Glassesgirl79's Daily Check In

Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

Glassesgirl79's Daily Check In

This is where I'll write about my progress on the no s diet. I've just finished reading the book and even wrote a review about the book on epinions.com. This book is extremely helpful and now I'm starting on the program.

Hi there!

Welcome to the board...and this plan.

I was just reading in the "No S" book last night....actually, I was re-reading parts of it again and I read about getting started. I underlined a lot of things, but what he said & quoted on pg 123 really helped me.

He quotes Sally Squires..."Studies show that altering eating habits for good requires 10 to 12 concerted attempts to succeed -- which is to say about a dozen failures come before the eventual success. "That's not reason to despair,' said John Norcross, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania and a researcher on self-initiated change. 'If anything, it's reason to say, 'I'm not doing so bad.'"

Richard wrote...."Sometimes it takes a false start (or 12). So quit dawdling and get some failures under your belt!"

I love that!

If you haven't read Richard's book, it's well worth getting it. You can certainly succeed without it, but I've found it to be a help both in the beginning and for months afterward.

Again...welcome! janie
