As a newbie to the No S Diet (this is my second successful month... yippee!) I'd be really grateful for your advice/input on S Days.
So far so good, my N days have been successful and I've even managed to lose 10 lbs. I attribute this to the fact that we have the S Days to fall back on/keep us going through the tough times. (Previously to starting No S, I was what one might call a sweet food junkie.

Now I've come to my senses again and feeling very bloated, the guilt and disappointment has set in. I'm asking myself: "WHY did I eat the fudge? I've been doing so well until now and haven't had any sugar/food cravings like I used to. I feel like I've undone all my good work!"
Sorry its such a long winded message guys and I hope you can see where I'm coming from. I was thinking in future perhaps cutting down my S days or just keeping them for extra special Ss like eating out or using them only on Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays. Would appreciate your input very much and hopefully to put my mind at ease. Otherwise, I am just loving this diet and after a couple of false starts, I seem to have my N days down pat. Fingers crossed.
In a nutshell: I rely on the structure of the N days and feel so good about my eating patterns/habits and turning down the desserts etc. But when it comes to S days I don't really have a structure to speak of therefore in my mind, there's plenty of scope for bingeing/out of control eating/reintroduction to sweet foods therefore reinforcing my sweet tooth that I have worked so hard on to get rid of.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks everyone!
Best wishes, ROXY
