Everyday Systems

Day 1: So far, so good. Managed to get through the day without snacking on the cinnamon streussel muffins, chocolate ice cream and pineapple upside down cake. Kept it to three meals with no sweets. SUCCESS!

Day 2 was a success, but Day 3 was a bust. I got on the scale and saw that it had reflected a 3lb. gain, which paradoxically drove me to the stash of chocolate in the house rather than to the gym--the logical place to go when one sees weight gain. I am not going to binge on the pineapple upside down cake in the fridge, nor will I eat all of the ice cream or the cinnamon muffins. (Yes, sweets are my weakness!) Instead I will have a normal dinner tonight, concentrate on having a successful week and simply avoid the scale until July 1 because apparently weighing myself is hazardous to my waistline.

Exactly! Best of luck to you!

I'm on scale strike for that exact reason. You're having successful sane NoS days and feeling like a winner, you get on the scale and your weight has increased, the next thing you know you're having a one-on-one with Ben & Jerry.

For now, even though I feel bloated and my clothes are fitting snug, I'm going to keep it simple. If after a month my clothing still fits the same or tighter I will address it then. Over thinking isn't a good thing with NoS.
