Everyday Systems

Hi Everyone, today is my 4th day on No-S and I'm feeling pretty good. Although starting before a weekend was probably a boost lol.
Friday I had Cereal, Chippy kids meal for lunch and a curry ready meal for my dinner.
Sat I had fish finger sandwiches for brunch, a few chocolates and wine and another curry for dinner.
Sun I had egg and beans on toast with tomatos and mushrooms, couple chocs (left over from easter, I don't buy them usually) then a beef roast dinner and wine.

Today I propose to have cereal with raisins, chicken chow mein ready meal for lunch and dinner to be determined. So I have successfully completed 1 No-S and two S days so far xx

Well done and welcome

You're doing great!

Hi Larkspur & Soprano!
Thanks....
My day yesterday was another green No S so
Fri 6th Green
Sat 7th Yellow S day
Sun 8th Yellow S day
Mon 9th Green No S day

I'm happy with the No S's so far, I did have a bit more to eat than I needed at lunch yesterday thinking it would be a long while until dinner (which it wasn't!) but I still stuck to three plates.
I think the hardest thing for me will be trying not to worry about losing weight. I've been overweight for the last 13 years, prior to that I ate low cal, trained and stayed a size 8-10. Now i'm 3 stone heavier and a size 14, not massive but way too much for my 5ft4 small frame.
I've done every single diet out there multiple times and lose half a stone then put it back. The only time I lost more was on Atkins for my wedding where I lost 1 and a half stone but needless to say it went back on.
I am fed up of being on the diet wagon so here I am trying to focus on eating "normally" and increasing my activity.

Until recently, I considered putting something in my mouth to prove it as a failure, and that for someone with such a marked diet mentality was a catastrophe and ruined my day. Marking in red only because of this increased my sense of failure. Now I try it and I do not consider it a failure.
Yesterday my daughter wanted us to buy chocolate mousse and then she wanted me to try it (she is a girl that she loves to share) I had a spoonful, I tasted it and I marked it in green. In the life of a normal person, these are things that happen daily and are not considered a disaster. It's just trying something to see if it tastes good, and in terms of calories it's insignificant

So I'm a little disappointed that yesterday ended up a red day. I completely know why as when I looked at my lunch I thought that's not going to keep me full. It was a low calorie ready meal and some mandarin pieces. I ended up getting home from work already starving for dinner which led me to make a choice of oven chips and spicy chicken which although was tasty didn't leave me feeling full. So I then had half a cob, two glasses of wine and a packet of crisps hence the RED day.

Today I have a more filling lunch so hopefully back to GREEN!
