Everyday Systems

Today is a new beginning for me. I have lurked here for weeks, I have bought and read the book and now I am ready to begin the journey. This concept makes so much sense to me and I am thrilled that I stumbled upon it on the Internet.

I have tried the usual means of weight control with some success. As with so many other people, maintenance and "keeping interested" is my issue. After 2 years I just wasn't interested in counting another point! As a result, I have some weight to shed once again.

I am looking forward to integrating this concept into my lifestyle. My accountability will be to this site on a regular basis. Here's to my journey and as many green days as I can muster!

welcome cfrbdm. These boards are a great place for inspiration and advice. I am only into my second week of the No S lifestyle, but I come here everyday. It is a great community.

Again, WELCOME!!

I am pleased to attest that my first day was a success.

I did not "starve to death" over night.
I don't feel ravenous this morning.
I am not spending time trying to allocate all my "points" for the day.
I am not stressed because I have been invited to a birthday celebration this weekend.
I am looking forward to making a delicious healthy meal for dinner tonight without limiting my choices.
I am NOT stepping on the scale this morning to see if it changed. When it happens, it happens!

Yes, I think I can do this.

Pleased to report another green day.

I didn't realize how often I snacked while cooking. A few times I caught myself reaching for ingredients I was going to use in the meal to snack on. Making a sandwich involved getting out some mortadella for a sandwich, couple of slices for the sandwich and a couple of slices to eat while making the sandwich! Oh, oh, not any more! I could see how this would certainly add up over a week. Especially if it was something at each meal.

Aiming for another green day!

I'm liking this....I feel good and I'm not even temped to jump on the scale!

This is my first Sday.

Typically, I do well all week and succumb to "the binge" on the weekend. My hope is to stay focussed and have a few treats but to try and stick to only 3 meals and not an all-day (or 2-day) food fest followed by another guilty Monday morning!

I think I have my colours correct. Yesterday was my first sday. I would say it was a success. No out of control moments. I enjoyed a few treats but surprisingly didn't scarf down my usual bag of chips. It's interesting because I didn't feel like I needed to have them because "the end" was approaching on Monday.

Today I am going to a birthday celebration. My goal is to enjoy without excess.

Sunday was a successful day. I was conscious of what I was eating on the s-day. I enjoyed the birthday celebration in moderation and as a result, I feel great on this Monday morning! Usually, Monday's are a reflection of "all the food I ate on the weekend". Today, I look forward to the coming week.
