Everyday Systems

Ok.. so I've been flirting with the concept of NoS for several weeks now - I've read through lots of posts and all the information available and I think the time has finally come to actually DO this thing and work on changing my habits. So this is my first official NoS day. Its been actually a sort of difficult commitment to make because 1. I fear committing to something I worry I won't stick to and 2. I desire instant gratification in the form of super quick weight loss. But having identified these holdbacks I find them to be unreasonable excuses for not making a change in my eating habits, which I desperately need to do. I have to beat it into my own head, however, that the change in habit has to come first, the weight loss next. So today - no problems in between breakfast and lunch. Its the afternoon/evening that does my in anyway, so I guess tomorrow I will be checking back in "for real".

GOOD LUCK!!!

Best of luck with the first step. Be good to yourself every step of the way. Learn from successes and failures.

Welcome and good luck. It is up to each individual but I have found that it is best to just relax, concentrate on planning a day of healthy meals, eating them, and then repeating the next day. I do not take S Days Gone Wild or anything, if there is a reason to have a "treat" or something during the week, I would do so and not necessarily eat one single sweet or snack on the weekend just because I had the freedom to do so unless an event presented itself - be it a birthday party, or just a good looking blue eyed husband asking me if I wanted to go out for an ice cream. Sometimes S can be for spontaneous.

I have learned that we (the royal "we") eat WAY more food than we need to sustain us and maintain a healthy body, we move way less and we obsess too much about both.
