Jean's daily check in
Yesterday, Day 1 was a success. Yippee for me! Felt very flat in the evening, basically just curled up on the sofa, very much wanting sugary stuff. Evenings are my worst time.
The drinking milk idea is brilliant. I had a milky coffee about 4 pm and took a glass of soya milk to bed. Couldn't have coped without the milk. But I didn't feel that I was breaking anything because I wasn't actually eating.

Here I am back again. I'm on day 5, so have a little bit of 'The Hard Part' already over.
Last time I tried it was a S day that floored me. I ended up hoovering sugar down my throat like mad, felt depressed about that, said 'This won't work' blah blah blah. Gave up.
This time I've had migraine two days on the run (breaking my glasses and straining my eyes may have helped!) I feel physically lousy and grumpy. My poor little body is missing all the sugar it normally got.
BUT I DID IT FOR 4 DAYS. Yippee for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell last sunday and have been in hospital having a plate and wires inserted into my right wrist. I kept to my No S plan fine, amazed myself actually. I now have enough chocolate and dessert 'get well' gifts to feed an army. I do NOT have to eat them. I'm not craving them and if I eat any of them it will be a deliberate choice.
Way To Go!
You're keeping up the good fight in spite of adversity! Great! You have the will power to succeed! Keep it up! Best regards, Bob

The weekend went well again. I allowed myself supper as my one N Day treat. There are still chocs around from my hospital visit. DH has eaten a few. They may get the prize for the longest lasting box of choccies in my house.
Not craving at all now. Sticking to just 2 pieces of fruit a day, I know from past experience that any more can trigger cravings in me.

Well, its a long time since I checked in, 10 months to be precise. I want to start again, clean start and all that.
I've not been successful doing NoS since I injured my arm. All the choccies, forced inactivity etc. have had a devastating effect on my waistline (and other parts!). The results of my injury have been more far reaching than I ever imagined. I had another operation on my arm in May, with the possibility of another to come. I can use my right hand in a somewhat limited way. I can't use my exercise tapes with hand weights properly, but could always adapt them!
Oh, by the way, my dog Gennydishcloth (GennyDC) is doing great on NoS. The 'Nasty Lady In The White Coat Who Sticks Needles In Poor Doggies Necks' said her tummy was too big for her little legs. DH told her that was because she takes after me, not him! Maybe she'd better have a daily check in thread too!
The only time I was successful at NoS was when I was checking in and posting. So, speak to you soon!

Well I'm still sort of lurking here, never got into the NoS habit after injuring my arm. My brain keeps being drawn back to the NOS way of eating, but I just keep on failing.
I get really bad cravings for sugar and feel quite ill after a couple of sugar-free days. I know in theory that I will feel OK after a week or two, but can't get that long under my quite expansive belt. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. I will definitely have another attempt tomorrow.

Day 1 under my belt
Well I managed Day 1 (Saturday) without too much trouble. I had two meals of what I fancied, including much cheese and some chips. My plan for the month of September is to get the 3 meal habit down, eating what I fancy for the 3 meals, as long as they are 1 plate (except Sdays).
When I manage to get the 3 meal habit I'll review the details of what I eat and drink.
I'm feeling quite positive at present, I hope it lasts.

Hi Jean,
Just popping in to say "hi". I'm sorry you've had a difficult time starting & stopping with NoS. I'm back after doing that for months too. Here's my thinking....I have over 40 years of bad eating habits racked up. You might not have nearly as much, but even if you've had a tough time for a few years, acquiring this new habit is just not going to take a short amount of time to do. Every time I pick myself up, brush off the crumbs and start again, I'm developing those new habits. It might be taking me a LONG time to be consistent, but I'm going to do this. You can do this....you really can...one successful day at a time.
I have to run....but hang in there!!!
