Oops! I haven't written in the past 4 days, so I need to log in.
Sat & Sun went well. I ate quite a bit of candy on Sat. (went to World Market and got some Maltesers and Rowntree Fruit Gums....British candy I grew up eating in Hong Kong...YUM!), but I'm not restricting myself on my S days at all right now. I know that desire to eat a lot of sweets on the weekends will pass. My goal is to have a nice dessert or two on S days instead of just candy, but since this is my way of eating
for life I have plenty of time to develop that habit.

It has not been difficult at all to wait until Sat. & Sun. to eat sweets either (and that I find amazing about this way of eating!).
One thing I have done to make No-Snacking and No-Seconds a bit easier is to adjust my meal times. Since I'm not a breakfast eater (just give me a cup of coffee and I'm happy!), I don't eat my first meal until lunch (12:00), then I eat my second meal right after work (3:30 - I'm a teacher and I'm always really hungry right after school. I eat my second meal at school, because I have a 30 min. drive home and I don't want to tempt myself to pull over and buy some snacks on the way home.) Then, I eat my dinner (third meal) with my husband when I get home (5:00 ish). Adjusting my meal times has really helped me not need to snack or be as tempted to go back for seconds.

I have to say this first week on No-S for life has been wonderful. I LOVE THIS WAY OF EATING! I don't feel like I'm on a diet at all and that's the best part for me!

I lost 4 lbs. this week, too, so I'm pretty happy! I know it's that initial quick loss and it will be slowing waaaay down, but I'm very happy to see this initial loss. Hope everyone else is enjoying their No-S plan, too!
It's such a lovely ride...
