the stress of returning to college and doing all those papers, etc. while having a job (pretty full time) and a family was my excuse for obliviously inhaling sweets and other snacks making it through the 2 lips on my face, plus saying "I'll exercise tomorrow". Last Sun 5/22/05, I was feeling desperate (again) since I gained 15 lbs. this year after working so hard to stay in shape last summer. I googled 'HOW to stop snacking' and found the nosdiet. I can't believe it's been almost 6 days that I haven't had sweets, snacks, or seconds like the many, many days b4 6 days ago!!!!! It's time 2 give credit where credit is due - so Dear G-d - THANX for sending a great messenger - Mr. Reinhard to the front lines to end the madness and offer all us beneficiaries a light, humorous, common sense (very uncommon today), and ez approach to stay sane & healthy. I've shared the nosdiet with friends at work and naturally, they love it! Every day is a challenge in the S department, but I repeat the mantra to myself ea. time, or I just ask myself " what's the point? I already had a good meal and the next one is coming very soon. I of course don't expect to shed 15 lbs. in no time with nosdiet alone. I went back to my almost daily exercise regime using the original 5-6 firm aerobic wt training tapes.
THANX AGAIN and we'll SURELY get to our goal GW.
All the Best 2 U!!!

Welcome, surely! I like your optimistic username. Try doing this daily check-in here until you get the habit down. You don't have to write much, just "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE." Or just note the esses you did or didn't manage to avoid (see Jan's daily checkin for a fun example of using emoticons to do this). And if the "mantra" isn't enough, print out the business card and carry it around as an extra reminder. It'll make it seem more official.
