Everyday Systems

I discovered No S some time ago, and it immediately made sense. But due to a history of extremely chaotic eating / obsessive dieting, I’ve somehow never had enough faith to really give it a proper go. Until now! After a couple of half-hearted attempts, I think I am finally ready to commit - at least for 21 days...

I’m determined that I never want to ‘diet’ in the traditional sense again, and I know that No S can bring me some peace, if I let it. I would really love to lose some weight, but I would even settle for gaining some sanity.


Day 1
Start weight = 139.6
Posting this for yesterday, a somewhat random mid-week start but no time like the present...

SUCCESS!

3 meals. No snacks, sweets or seconds. Job done.


Day 2

SUCCESS!

B: Fruit & plain yoghurt
L: Hummus, fava bean paste, falafel salad & pitta (big plate!)
D: Pre-dinner Martini, Thai fishcake sandwich, steamed broccoli, an orange

I went to a new lunch place near where I work today, called Hummus Brothers. Really filling and delicious! Although I don’t want to be buying lunch out every day, I’m very happy about this find.

Tomorrow is going to be a Special Day. My better half and I have taken the day off work and we’re celebrating Valentine’s day (a few days late!). I'm hoping a 'Special Day' so soon into this isn't going to throw me off track...

Love the title of your thread!

Thank you, KCCC! It's something I am trying to remind myself of.

Day 3

SPECIAL DAY!

Our belated Valentine's was a perfect day: art, books, walking, friends, real ale and of course delicious food! A bit too much delicious food in the evening if I'm honest, but we had a truly brilliant day.


Day 4

SATURDAY

So far today I've had:

B: Scottish porridge, orange juice
L: Basil tofu & veggies

The lunch plate was a big delicious pile of green!

No S's yet today... We have pasta with my special garlic bread coming up for dinner, then who knows? That's the beauty of S days, just taking it as it comes...

Day 5

SUNDAY

Too many treats after dinner last night! But I would class it as overeating (not a binge) so maybe that's something?

Today was a lovely day. Country walk with friends, cold but sunny. Followed up with a huge pub lunch: proper roast with all the trimmings, apple crumble & custard for pud. Yum! We walked for a while after lunch too but I'm still quite full, think dinner will be light! Actually looking forward to an N day tomorrow, 3 S days in a row has felt like a lot of food!
