Re: Melderin's check in
Hi Melderin, I'm so glad you decided to create a check in and that you're working towards No S! I think you'll find it worth the effort and a lot more manageable than one meal a day. Kudos to you for mustering the discipline to stick with that plan as long as you did. I've never tried to do so mysel...

Thank you, pinkhippie and soprano. I've been doing rather well sticking with No S since my last check-in. I'm not sure what happened or why but I continue to manage the three meals per day structure more easily than in the past. I'm rebelling less against the structure so relying less on willpower a...
