Hello everyone,
My name is Clevagirl but my friend's call me DJ and I picked up the No-S Diet book at Barnes and Noble yesterday, read the entire thing last night and said to hell with waiting until Monday, I began No-S'ing today. Although I plan to start my 21 Day Habit counting on Monday, I wanted to see how I would handle no late-night noshing.
I have been on and off WW for years and I could never get past the first 15lbs because I'd get bored and tired of counting POINTs and say to forget this crap. Plus, I'm a closeted late night snacker. I didn't think anyone knew until I told my husband about NO-S and he said, "Maybe now you'll stop trying to sneak and make a snack after I've gone to bed."

I need to lose about 40lbs to get out of the obese category. Even with that lose, I will hardly be small or petite but that's fine with me so long as I can break my families' curse of diabetes, heart disease and cancer from both my maternal and paternal size. I lost my grandmother to lung cancer and diabetes six months ago and we just buried my uncle who died of emphaseyma last week. Despite needing to lose this weight for health reasons, none of the popular diets ever worked for me because they all called for an "all or nothing" mentality. If you say I can't have bread, I'll find a way to have some just to spite you

So No-S makes complete sense to me. Some rules but something that I can live with. Now I'm not going to say that letting go of the late night snacking habit is going to be easy but my plan for when those fierce cravings hit is to have some water and maybe some sugarless gum and if the craving (which are 99.9% mental anyway) doesn't go away, I'm taking myself to bed. So begins my journey toward moderation....
