Everyday Systems

I just noticed that today was the four month mark for me! In that time I have learned a lot, been very successful at keeping my N days green, and been humbled by "s days gone wild" more than once! Just when I think I've got "NoS" down perfectly, my appetite seems to run amok on a Saturday or Sunday. While technically okay, it doesn't feel very good when it's happening or the day after. I'm striving for better, more moderate S days in the months to come.

And while I'm still very much a habitualrunner, I like my new username better.

Good for you New Hope!!! You will find that S days taper off naturally over time. It took me about six months in my initial time on NoS between 2005-2006, for my S days and serving sizes on N days, to become less of a free for all.
The fact that you don't even like this behaviour is the first step in changing it.
You just have to keep thinking of *enjoying* S days and not simply gorging yourself.. That's not enjoyment..
Be proactive and choose a couple of great treats for the weekend in advance.
If you stray a little it's still far better than "winging it" the whole weekend and just having non stop "opportunistic eating".
Congratulations on your four months of successful NoS!!!!
