Thanks everyone! What nice encouragement from this forum! So Day Two - Success! Nothing too outstanding . . . it just feels like eating regularly, I barely thought about food (unlike any other diet I have been on). It's a pleasure to feel relaxed, but healthy. So, I am aiming for a full 21 days . . I am not weighing myself until at least the end of the week, because I like the idea of focusing on habits, not numbers.

I know. . .isn't it great that two off days are coming. Day four was a success, also. So far, I am way happier with the NO-s diet than anything I have ever done with my eating. This is why:
1. It feels so normal! I don't need to worry about what I am eating or when. It is interesting for me to notice how often I would grab a snack if I wasn't doing this, and it's no wonder I weight more than I want to! However, because I am eating satisfying meals, I don't have a hard time resisting the snacks.
2. I have not obsessed at all.
3. because it is so easy to follow, I feel successful.
4. I have slept great and felt really good exercising.
5. I find myself thinking things like "wow, I feel so good I would do this even if I didn't lose weight"
5. However, I am losing weight - I just jumped on the scale (I know I wasn't going to) and I have lost 3 pounds, which is really just the low end of my range.
I don't have a lot of weight to lose - ten pounds would put me at a really good weight, and I have well established good exercise habits HOWEVER I have a long history of failed dieting and bad body image, so it is very important to me that I work on those issues. I want to be a good role model for my beautiful little girl, and I don't want to be held back by eating and body image issues! Thanks everyone for the support. Looking forward to 17 more days to make it to the 21 day mark!

day five - success

If that isn't the best motivation! I love your bullet points, they are amazing and inspiring. I know exactly what you mean with the body image issues and I can report that at least for me NoS has done wonders for it.klmom wrote:I want to be a good role model for my beautiful little girl, and I don't want to be held back by eating and body image issues!

Thanks Eschano! Days 6 and 7 were s days - and went fine. I definitely had a few cookies, and enjoyed them very much. So starting day 8!

Day 9 - FAILURE!! I waited too long to eat dinner, and got too hungry. I don't like this! Back on today for day 10!!

Those late dinners have been the snack-driver of many-a-NoSer!

Ha! Ha! So true, Automated Eating. So...Day 10 success. Glad to be back in the saddle.

Brilliant, that you got right back on that wagon! The beauty of NoS is that it let's you recover 3 plates a day but it took me a lot longer than you to beat the What The Hell Effect Well done!
Well done!Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2014 11:22 am
day 11 - success
day 12 and 13 were s days - and were ok, not over the top
day 14 was MLK day ....not sure if it was an s day or not, but I have to say it didn't feel good
starting day 15 ....think I'll order the book, feeling a little off track

Popping in for a late welcome to you! Keep on keepin' on! YES! Get the book. I am fixin' to reread it as well! Have a great day!
