Everyday Systems

Hi all,

Starting a check in as I ease into No S. Okay, okay, ease *back* into No S.

I did well with No S for a couple of months years ago, but as usual tried to change too many things at once. And now, after recently reading multiple other sources that espoused "no snacking", I realized that reminded me of No S, and it all seemed so sane and good for me.

So this time I'm easing in. Last week I just took out the sweets (except on S days). That went well, so this week, I'm taking out the morning snack. When that's stable, I'm planning to remove the afternoon snack.

Today was a success -- a little hungry but conveniently had a dentist appointment at 10:30 am, so that kept me from getting too restless for snacks before lunch.

Great to be back and see that so many of you are still here and doing well!

Welcome back, you've taken a sensible approach, stick with it.

Thanks!

Checking in for today for my current stage, which is no sweets and no morning snack.

Another good day for the new habit! I'm really starting to realize that a lot of my snacking is really just to have something to look forward to during the work day, especially if it's a particularly stressful or dull one. So I'm making a list of alternate activities that I might be able to do during the day instead and trying to do those when I need a little something to look forward to during a break.

That being said, I actually have not had my afternoon snacks this week so far either. I did drink a glass of whole milk yesterday, and it was really helpful (both as a way to get past the hunger and as a way to get some more fluid in me).

Anyway for today:

Glad things are going well. Keep up the good work!
