Everyday Systems

Well, I’ve started on friday, but today is my official

DAY 1 – SUCCESS

I’m so exited, can’t wait to become it habitual (cause I’m loving loving it).

I had big dinner. Really big. Too much bread I think. But I don’t give up – live and learn. Still count it as a successful day.

DAY 2 – SUCCESS

DAY 3 – SUCCESS
B – yogurt with fruit and nuts mixed in
L – chicken/cheese salad
D – oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts mixed in, yogurt.
Coffee and tee between meals.

Welcome to No S. Sounds like you are off to great start. I think you will like it here.

Oh, Thank you, Thank you.
Hope to stick here for long

DAY 4 – SUCCESS
I had to go out of town today so I ate my lunch at about 5 pm! I though I’d be so hungry that the plate wouldn’t satisfy me – but it did. I ate a fried chicken thigh and a salad and then I had just some yogurt with fruit for dinner.

Tomorrow I’m going to some fancy restaurant and it has some delightful cake for dessert – so I’m planning to have an S day on Friday instead of having it on Sunday. I think this way it will work better than depriving myself of the treat that I really crave.

It was my S day today.

And I ate good. From the early morning I knew I’m going for dessert tonight – so I ate less food for breakfast and less for lunch too (not the best strategy, I think). I had a good dinner and had my treat but I was full so I couldn’t finish it...

Well tomorrow I’m up to 70% dark chocolate with cacao nibs – that thing is delightful

Yesterday was saturday - S Day. Or should I call it 'silly day'. I had my best intentions to have just a piece of chocolate but I failed and snacked on cereal and French bread and pumpkin seeds between meals, so in the evening I was sickness full. Not the best feeling – as the whole purpose of an S day (which is to celebrate and enjoy) was ruined.
Oh well, but today I’m back to my three meals.

DAY 7 - SUCCESS

Great job! Keep it up!



Janine

Thanks, Janine, but ....

DAY 8 – FAILURE
Well, I messed up. I had a good breakfast and lunch and then I felt soooo hungry an hour before dinner, so I decided to have a cup of yogurt and then things went wrong...... hate the feeling of failure.... I hope that won’t happen again. I really hope.

DAY B1 – SUCCESS
Back on track. Enjoying my meals again.
Oh, and one more thing – I’ll check the scale tomorrow and then I’m planning to put it away for a while... too much pressure, because of it.

DAY B2 – SUCCESS
I had my heart broken yesterday, but I’m stronger than that and I’ve decided not to use food as an emotional pill!
Instead of – I’m going to the theater tomorrow. And I’m eating good.
B – 2 slices of home made bread with butter and cheese
L – chicken thigh, salad
D – yogurt with dried fruit and nuts mixed in

DAY B3 - SUCCESS

DAY B4 - SUCCESS

DAYS B5, B6 – S DAYS
Sadly I’ve made not the best choices of food .... but I had promised myself to learn to eat well, and I will

DAY B7 – SUCCESS

B – yogurt and a toast
L – a few chicken drumsticks, salad and a piece of bread
D – homemade soup and a few slices of bread

You are doing just wonderful. You should be so proud of yourself. Don't worry about weekends for a while. Let them be big if they need to be. Your No S days are great. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I hope to succeed with this diet for life, so I’ll use your advice.

DAY B8 – SUCCESS

B – yogurt, a toast with cheese
L – home made chicken soup, two slices of bread
D – oatmeal with fruit and nuts and two toasts

DAY B9 - SUCCESS

DAY B10 - SUCCESS

DAY B11 - SUCCESS

DAY B12 - S DAY
Well, I'm not satisfied with my S day again. I have planned everything - every bite of chocolate and ice cream and I did a little of them, but I had nuts and fresh baked bread in addition and some cookies and some candy and at the end of the day I was stuffed sad sad sad

Maybe you should try not planning your S days. Another thing that's helped me is to allow anything, but before having it sincerely ask myself if it's something that I *really* want it. If I do, eat it and enjoy it and no guilt because that's the point of S days. If I don't, then I don't bother with it. Of course, this hasn't worked 100%, but it has worked pretty well.

Thank you for your advice, Julie. I really hope to learn new habbits here.
DAY B13 – S DAY (the good one )
Just a great dessert after dinner. I enjoyed it so much.

DAY B14 – SUCCESS

Though I had a cup of yogurt and a pear after dinner. One of those would have been definitely out of my plate, but I still count that as a success day, because my snack was healthy and I felt good about having it.

Tuesday DAY B15 – SUCCESS
Wednesday DAY B16- SUCCESS
Thursday DAY B17- FAILURE (had pumpkin seeds as snack)

Friday DAY C1 – SUCCESS
Saturday DAY C2 – S day
Sunday DAY C3 – S day

It works and some failure days won’t stop me!
