Today is my first day! I'm really glad I found the No S Diet. I've been toying with the idea of cutting out sweets during the week and only having them on the weekend, but I like that this takes it two steps further and has a support network.

My boyfriend took me out for dinner, but I only ate enough food to fill a "virtual" plate. I took my left overs home for lunch tomorrow! (I almost never do this.) I had trouble with snack cravings throughout the day, but I got through it by drinking water whenever I craved a snack.
YAY!

I was REALLY hungry today.
I used a small plate at dinner, but it was as full as I could make it. I ate very little at lunchtime and breakfast. I need to balance out my meals better so I'm not so hungry towards dinnertime!
P.S. I eyed the sweets at the bakery today. Usually I want them SO BADLY and often give in. But today I walked by and thought to myself, "I can have one on Saturday!" And felt really happy and excited! I love how positive this diet is. It's only been a few days, but already I can tell my thoughts about food are changing. Normally, I would buy the sweet (almost daily) and lament over how I "shouldn't" have it and how "awful" I am for eating it. I would eat it and enjoy it until the guilt set in. Now I CAN have the sweet!! Just not until Saturday. And I'm actually okay with this because now I can eat my sweet and not feel bad about it.

Always good to see a new member
It is good to see someone new. Best of luck!!!
SUCCESS!
I DID IT!!!
I got through the day no problem. Then I went to a local concert with a friend this evening. There was LOTS of snacks and a huge chocolate cake and cookies and cupcakes. I took a piece of cake and a cookie, wrapped them up, and they are now sitting in my fridge for tomorrow. (My first S-Day!)
I seriously have no idea how I did this. I didn't eat anything even though it was in my face and everyone around me was eating it. I'm so proud of myself! Before starting this diet, I would have eaten everything in sight!
(gk & RJRO, Thanks for the warm welcome!!!)

Yesterday: S-DAY
You know how the No S guidelines say "Don't be an idiot."? Yeeeah.... Yesterday was my first S-Day on this program and I ate myself sick. I was fine all day up until I went to a party and I just lost it... Bleeeh! I will try and do better today!

S-DAY
I did better than yesterday, but my indulgences still seemed a bit too much to me. I'm going to try harder next weekend to enjoy my S-Day treats with more moderation.
I'm actually kind of relieved that tomorrow is a No S-Day!

I wouldn't try too hard on an S day. I mean, it's a really good idea to ask yourself "do I really want this" and then "am I hungry, and is this worth the calories", then say "I'll have it in five minutes", you know, be a little selective. But, if you want it... eat it.
Sooner than not you'll settle in to a sustainable habit. I do seconds or desert, and one snack a day. That's probably where you will end up, and it will be a good thing.

I weighed myself today... 3 pounds lost?! I have no idea how that happened! I've only been doing this for a week! I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised! Especially after my crazy eating on my S-Days...
My weight has been steadily creeping higher and higher over the past few months. When I hit 169 (almost 170!), I said "Enough is enough!" and went online to find a diet that sounded easy. I'm so glad I found this one! I'm sure this kind of loss won't be typical, but it feels good to be off to a good start.
Kevin, Thanks for the tips. I just felt like I was eating a weeks worth of snacks and sweets which kind of defeats the purpose. I hope I find a balance over time.

SLIP
I had another bad day. This whole week has been tough for me on many levels. I didn't slip up too badly, but I didn't do well enough to call this a successful day. It's really hard not to turn to food when I'm upset.

Thanks, Kevin. You're right.
I ate dinner twice and some cinnamon candies I brought home from work. So it wasn't so bad! I could have eaten the piece of rum cake and/or the chocolate bar I've been saving for the weekend, but I didn't. Two weeks ago, I would have. So even though I slipped a bit, I'm still moving in the right direction.

Tuesday: SUCCESS!
Also weighed myself today. Still at 166!
(FYI, I am not counting the number after the decimal on my scale. It just discourages me. My weigh-ins won't be 100% accurate, but I prefer to do it this way.)

Friday: S-DAY
I'm counting today as an S-Day. My favorite local Thai restaurant is closing its doors and my friends and I went for one last huzzah! The only S I had was a thai iced tea and a few bites of my boyfriend's dessert. I kept my meal to one plate and took the left overs home to enjoy later. It was a nice evening and I didn't feel bad about it at all.
