Hi - I'm new to NoS. Started yesterday, although I've been considering it for some time. Hoping to stop obsessing about food, stop diet-binge cycle and hopefully lose about 10lbs. First day wasn't too bad. Hope I can keep it up! Here's my first check-in:
Tuesday 23 May: Day 1: Success
Breakfast: cereal, milk, a banana
Lunch: cheese sandwich, an apple
Supper: bowl soup, sprinkle cheese on top, slice rye bread. An apple.

Welcome to No S
Sounds like you are doing great. I think you'll like it here. Very maintainable and forgiving if you slip up. It is a lifestyle and you are the architect. There are always S days for catching your breath and losing that "deprived feeling". Hang in there. You'll love it.
Wine is a great extra, isn't it? I love a glass with supper. Very mellowing.
Best of luck.

Day 7:Mon 29th May:Success
Thanks for the encouragement Pangelsue! I'm loving NoS so far - I feel so free after years and years of dieting! I think it's going to benefit my health too as I'm starting to include more 'good' fats eg sunflower seeds, olive oil in cooking which previously I was too scared to try as it didn't fit with the low fat way of eating. It's too soon to tell really but I do feel better. Will try not to go overboard with them though (moderation moderation - why is that sometimes so hard?!)
Breakfast:
bowl of oats, 1 tsp sunflower seeds, 1 tsp sesame seeds, a banana
Lunch:
rye bread sandwich, apple
Supper:
bean dish, couscous, vegetables.

So you just sprinkle the sesame seeds in the oatmeal? How is that? Can you even taste them?

Day11
Thurs 1 June:Day 11:success
Yes, Hunter gatherer - the sesame seeds were not a great success! Couldn't really taste them. I do have a horrible habit of obsessing about foods - thinking some of them are 'magic' or whatever (must stop reading the health pages in woman's magazines!! Should actually probably stop reading woman's magazines altogether - but one bad habit at a time hey!)
And thanks for the encouragement, Deb, it really helps you to keep going.
Breakfast:
porridge,1 tsp honey (hope that's OK),1 banana, milk
Lunch:
baked potato,salad,cheese,an apple
Supper:
risotto,vegetables,glass red wine

I'm still on track but I seem to be getting so much more HUNGRY! I am definitely choosing less 'good' food and am eating a lot more of it which I feel a bit bad about but I'll try to do better.
