Everyday Systems

Hi!
Here to check in for accountability! I've been in and out of No-S over the years and it really resonates with me to continue with it, with a mod of eating any TYPE of food, in a meal, 3x/day, without S-days. I don't do well snacking and nibbling, so plated food, even if it includes a treat, is okay.
Thanks to some of you who have inspired this mod! I'm pregnant, and not here to lose weight obviously, but to have better habits, to not eat emotionally, and to stop bingeing in its tracks!
Today:
Weight: 135 (pre-pregnancy weight 123)
Breakfast: 2 eggs on toast, avocado, laughing cow cheese
Lunch: Babybel cheese, greek yogurt, salami
Dinner: Went my inlaws for a "birthday dinner" (my bday is tomorrow).
2 small roast beef sandwiches
salad
some chips/dip
one slice of cake and ice cream

This is the first time I didn't come home from an event like that and continue eating candy or treats. I knew I could have them the next day if I wanted, so I didn't feel the desire to binge. YAHOO! This is why the "S" days don't work for me. If I feel like I can have a treat each day, or not, then I don't feel the need to binge.
Thanks for all your inpsiration!

Good luck tonight Liz! Remember to give yourself permission to enjoy the treats tonight and don't feel guilty. You have a great mod in place that will allow you to enjoy life but keep eating in control!!

Happy birthday, Liz!

Hi Liz!

Welcome to the NoS boards, and Happy Birthday!!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I responded to your PM--I didn't see it until this morning, so I apologize for the delay!

And I'm a big supporter of "Team Mod." Adding mods was the reason for my quick success! Remember, it's fitting the plan into your life, not the other way around--make it work for you however you want.

Thank you for your support!
I'm doing well and haven't binged this week, regardless of allllll the treats in my home. (Birthdays are a free-for-all of friends and family bringing cookies and candy and cupcakes).
I've focused on my 3 meals/day of whatever I desire, and have not binged.
THAT'S HUGE and I'm feeling less obsessed with food and more obsessed with LIFE!

Fantastic news, Liz!!! Keep it up--you're doing great!!!

Just returned from a 2-day trip with 2 sisters to San Diego! So much fun celebrating my sister's 40th birthday.
We mainly stuck to breakfast, lunch, and dinner (our to eat).
I did have treats at a movie and at dessert, but I consider that terribly "normal". And "normal" is what I'm going for--no binges and no restricting.
Felt great and very present-moment.
YAHOO!

Hi Liz,

I also started a sweet mod with my meals in Feb. So far it's working well.
I didn't overeat sweets the way I usually do on the two weekends that passed, even with company and plenty desserts. I knew I could have them any day. I've even didn't have sweets all day yesterday (Mon). Didn't really think about it!

I love this way of eating, so hoping I stick with it.
