Everyday Systems

Hey yall, today was my first day on the NoS diet. Although i am craving MADLY for a snack right now, i haven't broken the diet yet! 20 more gruesome days...[/b]

Hi Sonrisa,

Hope your first day went well. Welcome to NoS. It does get easier doing this. The hard stuff really is all up front.

Hey Sonrisa!
Your name makes me "smile" LOL...
If you are craving a non-sweet snack, like pretzles or popcorn you can still have some with your meal.. Just don't eat between meals...
My first week of NoS was challenging for the first few days, while my body got used to feeling normal hunger again before mealtime... But it gets better before the week is out. You probably will notice a difference within two or three days...
Snacking is probably the easiest of the S's that people deal with here...
Those snack impulses will diminish greatly once you realize it's just an impulsive habit, and not really necessary...
How did you find NoS?
Good luck!
Peace and Love,
Debbie

Welcome, Sonrisa! You have your very own emoticons here....

As to snack cravings...you'll adjust after a while and they'll disappear.

For some of us, the snacking urge is the hardest to overcome, but you can do it. My long stretch is lunch to dinner because we eat dinner fairly late. It's a tough one, but I've overcome it.

You're doing this during the worst possible month - when everyone brings stuff to work, expects others to partake, etc. If you get through December, your habit will be case-hardened. You'll be on your way to a healthier, more fit 2006.

Remember, enjoy your S days. Go a little nuts if you have to. You'll soon realize what gluttony is, and you'll hit a happy S day balance.
