Finding Peace
Hey No Sers!
I'm back after a lot of back and forth and false starts. I read a really inspiring post just now and thought if it worked for them it will work for me.
I am happy to be coming back to No S and find some peace. I still have to make an effort to not obsess about weight loss, dieting, etc, but it's getting better.

11/8: SUCCESS!
Thanks eschano!
Today may or may not be an S day.... my S days tend to be Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday. I have a feeling today will be an S day because I think my beau wants to bake together tonight but that is fine. If not, then my S days will be Saturday/Sunday.
Time to find a cute outfit for a day out with my darling! Have a great Friday No Sers!

11/9 and 11/10: S Days
I took my S days on Friday and Saturday because of my beau and I really wanting cinnabon while at the mall haha! Plus, we made tortellini with alfredo sauce and it was sooo good and I knew I'd want seconds. Yesterday was also an S day, and I really didn't do anything different. I think I had an extra piece of bread at dinner but that was it. Part of me is panicking because I didn't get to have chocolate, and now I feel like I have to wait. But maybe it will be okay. As long as no chocolate crosses my path from a friend or work or something, I think I will be fine.

So far so good today. Looks like I'm in charge of dinner tonight. Still not sure what to make.
I think I need to drink more water. Sometimes I feel icky and want to turn to food but I think it is simply needing water. Just a thought. It's a habit I'd like to have as well.
I made chili cheese fries... okay not the healthiest meal but I did only have a plate.

My darling and I decided we wanted Mexican for lunch... well the restaurant we went to was soo nice and had delicious food and it was a huge amount of it. But it was soo good! I ended up eating a very large lunch... and then he baked cookies later so I had some cookies too. It was a red day, but not a bad day. Something I need to learn.
I mean yes, I wasn't planning on indulging, but I did, it was good, and as long as it doesn't turn into a week long indulgence or a regular habit of indulging on N days, it's okay. I had a great time going out with my beau and I'm not letting overeating and having a "red" day take that away from me. But, I do realize that in the future I can order something a little smaller or ask for a box to take part of it home. Or wait for an S day! Haha!

Going for green today! I indulged a lot yesterday, so today it feels good to eat "normally". I am feeling better about myself, too. I am still a kind young woman with pretty features and lots of love in my heart. My boyfriend loves me inside and out, and I should do the same. I don't judge him for not having a perfect body. I don't find him less attractive. I don't think anything about him like I do about myself. Why would I treat him better than myself? (No offense, honey!) Just some thoughts.
I intend to have a great day today. I will feel satisfied but not stuffed, and it wlll feel oh so good!

So later I ended up having a pretty large dinner... and a small cup of ice cream. Yes, technically that is a fail, but the fact that the small amount was enough is a huge step. I do not feel that I overate for the day and I still see it as green.
