Hi all,
As usual I'm looking through old threads and found this (link still works). I love her experience of NoS and the concise summary:

My favorite quotation:
"Also, as a somewhat “emotional eater,†I’ve found it a lot easier to honestly answer the question “Is it mealtime?†as opposed to the question “Am I really hungry?†With the latter, there’s a surprising amount of gray area depending on my mood. With the former, it’s perfectly clear."
It is a bit disappointing that these were what I call honeymoon statements. Even people on diets will early on have similar realizations such as how little they are hungry when they give free reign to eating. As we have seen, these early observations don't mean people won't be sorely tempted (and swayed) by extra food even after bouts of easy compliance. The blogger admitted right up front that she was aware she was speaking rather early in her experience. Of course, I think they're worth staying for!

Aside from living what appears to be a very interesting life, this woman is quite intelligent and can sift through the bull.
