Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

Hi guys,
After several failed attempts at No S - I am back.
Yesterday was a work day for me ( it happens once a month ) and so I kept it as an N day because the routine of work makes an N day so easy for me on a 10-5 shift.
So yesterday was a green on my habitcal. Yeah really fantastic start for my day one.
This week I am on lates so to make sure I keep on track I am drinking loads of tea when I first wake up which is not a bad thing. I will shift back breakfast and lunch to later in the day. Breakfast about 10.30, lunch at about 4 pm and dinner when I get in at 9 pm.
Have a good day guys.
Annie
