Everyday Systems

Hello Everyone!

This is such a great forum. I've been a longtime lurker and have experimented with No S off and on. Last week and the week before I had 3 out of five green days and dropped 4 lbs. This week, only 1 green and my weight's back up. So frustrating. Why the self sabotage? Why when something is going good and I feel great, do I return to what makes me miserable? Anyways...I know that a lifetime of poor habits are taking over when my mind goes into default mode. I really want to complete this challenge to get my behavior back on track. Here's to Vanilla No S the next three weeks!

Hi, kakawawa, and welcome.
I think you'll find this forum a warm and helpful place.
Yeah, I know all about self sabotage and a lifetime of poor habits. This really gets easier the longer you do it, and I do see consistent weight loss when I stick to it. It's just slow, which is is good and sustainable, but you have to really take the long view.
Here's to your 1st 3 weeks of vanilla NoS!

Kakawawa, good to see you posting! I hear you on the self-sabotage. I've been down that road many, many times. I hope you have a great 21 days, and have lots of green on the habitcal. Remember your next meal is never very far away! Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement! Happy with today considering all I wanted to do was snack on sweets but didn't. Already remembering the freedom I felt a few short weeks ago after one day!

It's always nice to read a "lurker" thread I hope it's all going well!!
