Everyday Systems

I've been away, doing No S sporadically. I've been having trouble with some wild S days and few too many wild red days.

I've gone totally vegan which makes me feel very peaceful, but unfortunately junk food still calls to me too often! Having first tried No S starting way back in September 2008, I know that every time I stray and then come back, I always feel like I'm coming home. That's how I know it's my one and only plan for life. It's sane, simple yet challenging, and it works for me.

Checking in regularly will help me to focus. Reading your posts will give me support and make me feel less alone in my pursuit. Habitcal here I come!

Good luck with it this time. Glad you are back.

Thanks Kevin!
