Everyday Systems

What? I shouldn't have a yummy name for my diet log-in?

Newbie here. Have been lurking around here since Friday and am officially taking the plunge today. It is a holiday today, but I'm going No-S anyhow.

I have been on every mainstream diet except Atkins. Just try to pry my bread out of my hand. I'm usually successful for a while and then get rebellious about the counting or rules.

I have about 30 pounds to lose, having already lost 10 and regained 3 on my own over this summer.

Today is Day 1. It's 10:25 am and I am missing my mid-morning snackfest. I ate a slightly larger than normal breakfast in an attempt to stave off a bagel attack and I will do my best to persevere.

Hi - I am fairly new to this too. I have been on every diet imaginable, most recently weight watcher.. but i'm with you and got tired of the counting. I too am not counting today as an S but as an N

Good luck to you!

I am recommitting AGAIN today! I have abou 30 I would love to lose.

Welcome, Coffee Cake. What a sweet name.

I wish you the best of luck.

Ditto!!! LOL..

Nice one Coffee Cake!
Does this mean you will only post on S days???
Heh...

No really!
Good luck and welcome
Peace and Love,
Deb

Thanks for the welcomes!

Day 1 is completed, or at least the eating part is officially over for the day. I'm calling it a qualified success. We did go out for Mexican at dinner, but I ordered reasonably ungreasy and uncheesy soft tacos, only ate 3 chips from the basket, ate 1/3 of the rice and none of the beans. I think that still counts as a single plate of food, albeit a pretty full one.

More importantly and most amazingly, I did not snack between meals today and I did not eat sugary stuff! I don't remember the last time I didn't have a midmorning nibble and an afternoon nosh and a bedtime snack. Bedtime's still a few hours away, but those tacos are taking up space, so I'm good.

Day 2 Success!

Difficult, but done. No sweets, no snacks, no seconds. Three biggish plates of food. I assume I will figure that out. I am trying to throw at least one fruit or veggie on every plate.

Off to make breakfast now.

Day 3 success. Had a noon appointment to work lunch around, but managed.

Middle of Day 4: Abject, self-immolating failure.

Begin again tomorrow.

Welcome and don't forget the 3 successes. Also part of the journey. Hang in there.

Back on the horse. Yesterday was a success.

Today is an S. I'm making cake. A small cake.

Thanks for the cheer P-sue.

First No-S weekend. Two S days, but not at all an orgy of consumption.

I didn't make the cake, since my kid ate the last of the eggs. I had a little more wine than 2 glasses a day and did not watch the clock like I did last week on S days. And I had some cookies & milk. Otherwise I still ate pretty much the same amounts as during the week.

Back at it today. Hoping to go 5 straight this week.
