Naomi's daily check-in

I have "half-essed" the No-S plan at least 2 or 3 times before now, so I decided I'd start anew using my REAL name (Naomi) instead of my middle name (Grace) and just start No-S afresh, for life (warts and all). I've finally realized that up until now no diet has worked for me (including No-S, which is really not a diet, but I was treating it as such), because I've really had one major goal: to lose weight (and get to a certain *magic* number on the scale). You know, that goal hasn't worked for the past 31 years (I'm 44 and have dieted since I was 13), so why do I think that goal will work for me now?! I've *finally* realized (I'm a late bloomer!) that what WILL work for me is to make healthy habits my goal. THAT I CAN DO!! :) So, here are my healthy habit goals that I will be logging success/failure for each day: No Snacking, No Sweets, No Seconds, and Exercising (at least 4 days/week). I've just started doing 1 hr. sessions of yoga M-Th. Man, it feels great and talk about a great destresser!

So, let me go ahead and log in my Day 1 Healthy Habit stats for yesterday (June 4 - Day 1):

No Snacks - SUCCESS
No Sweets - SUCCESS
No Seconds - SUCCESS
Exercising (M-Th) - SUCCESS

GREAT to be here building healthy habits for life with you guys!
:) Naomi (aka Grace)

Welcome! My story is very similar to yours, as I'm sure are countless others. I'm determined this time to practice NoEssing for the long haul of it!
Good luck to you Naomi!

Hi there.

I can so identify, I have never had a serous weight problem, just those nagging ten, fifteen, oh my gosh is it really up to twenty pounds, I lose them - I then realize that I don't need to lose any more weight,

I re gain them.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

I just want to enjoy eating three normal health meals a day and then forget about it until the next meal.

I am almost at my goal weight and can already feel my inner voice saying, You can relax now, you've done fine. You can control this.

But, NO, I cannot. Not without the No S plan.

Wishing you well,

SR :wink:
