Choxie's 21-days of moxie
I tentatively tried the plan out last week. By Thursday or Friday, I think I was on the right track.
So I began on This weekend:
Saturday: Success (S day, but ate my three meals with a couple spoons full of my 4 yo ice cream)
Sunday: Success (S day, ate 3 meals, and grazed a little at bed time- but only 1 semi-handfull of popcorn)
On to Monday. Found a great deal on progresso soups. they were 1.19 a can (two servings heat and eat). Coupon for $1.00 off purchase of 2 cans. Can I say that used $40 worth of coupons? I love the commisary. So I am so ready for lunch. Me and my daughters love soup. I usually add a handfull of frozen veggies and some stir fried chicken to them to bulk them up. But we love soup.
So I'll check in later or tommorrow to share my victories with you.

What, no decent bread to go with the soup...you are being good. As long as it fills you up!
I really want to wish you all the best to stick with this plan.
Although I have only been doing this myself for about 6 weeks what has amazed me more than anything is the knowledge that for the first time in my life my weight is not going to go up again. It's going slowly, yes, and I need to lose a fair bit, but it's way healthier than stomach stapling ( surgery is always a big risk!!!)and diet pills.
So good luck and well done!!

Monday - S day - day 3
Success.
It felt great to get through the day with a success.
I did go hunting for snacks at the end of the day out of habit. But I made it.

I started my "S" adventure on a Saturday, and it has worked very nicely for me. By the time I am done with my weekend of treats, I am well into the next week of NoS-ing. Works for me!
I love it.
I think the hardest part is deprogramming myself from the diet mentality.
Forgetting everything that I learned about diets in the past.
I am now trying to build new better eating habits. That will last me for the rest of my life.
My food is not the greatest, but I have stuck to the guidelines of the plan and made a successful day of it.
Wow, It's been a long time.
Needless to say, that Ihave truly fallen off the wagon.
I have gained and lost weight, but I am ready to do this again.
I need to get back to basic and stop trying to add other diet plans to just regular eating.
Snacking is my weakness. I need to overcome it.
I plan to start on Saturday again to give myself a running start to the week.
