Everyday Systems

Hi, the salmon was delicious- it was a kind of salmon nicoise without the anchovies - only cos I didn't have any rather than because I don't like them, cos I do! Anyway today is a very good friend's birthday and there is a party tonight. I also have one tomorrow night but have decided to make today ...

Hello, another good day today, I'm pleased to say. I had to drive to London for an interview which meant a really early start and then met my friend for lunch and to look around the ruins of a Roman villa. Then the traffic proa light lunch blems started- the road that encompasses London is difficult...

Hi, now on day 6- didn't check in yesterday as I was on a girls night out to see Take That- don't know how big they are in the US but they were FAB!!! Anyway.. You know what- this NEVER happens to me...but I actually didn't think about food much at all yesterday. I had a large bacon baguette at abou...

:D Still feeling pretty rough and on my own all day and evening, usually a pretty difficult time for me BUT I have got through without bingeing, yay! Today my breakfast wasn't until quite late on as I was on email and phone and...forgot!! I NEVER forget to eat. So I made myself a sandwich on granary...

Hi All, Today was my one S day, and boy have I needed it! Life is a bit stressful at the moment. I was notified of my job being made redundant back in March and left work in April. I have done nothing other than look for the right job- I am the breadwinner so it needs to enable us to at least pay th...

Hi- SUCCESS day 2 Although today is an S day, as per my previous note I have decided to only have one "proper" S day and to keep any snacks and treats on the other S day to be fruit and veg as often as I can. I really struggled with nibbling this evening as I don't think I had a substantial enough l...

Hi All This is my daily food diary for today: Late breakfast of wholemeal toast and jam with decaf coffee Lunch was a chicken and ham sandwich with lots of salad Dinner was chicken and rice with broccoli and a small glass of red wine I confess I ate a raw carrot to stop me picking while preparing di...

Congratulations, you must be feeling brilliant :D This is so good to read; I have been pretty depressed lately and out of control- I know this system can work well if I let it and trust in it- and you are proof of the pudding (probably not the best way to put it but you know what I mean!!) I'll be r...

Thanks all- the comments have been really very helpful and also reassuring! So far, so good today- but it is only 6pm :-) I'll log in later on the daily check in. Good luck to all of you as well. This bulletin board is really great isn't it? Helps me to have a virtual team of likeminded people! Best...

HI, Well I have been trying and failing miserably since april to adopt this way of eating and have found that although I have failed I have learned what I need to do to get these principles right for ME> May not be right for anyone else, but I am going to log in daily and get as many greens as I can...

SUCCESS today:
Breakfast was a muffin and decaf coffee
Lunch was yazai yaki soba
Dinner was turkey breast marinated in spicy sauce with a large sald, flowed by plain 0%fat yoghurt with flaxseeds and blueberries
Yum!!

Hi All, I had a much better day today even though I was on the road travelling in the wind and rain to a job interview and back, three hours each way. Breakfast was a bacon sandwich (an English must-have now and then!) on wholemeal bread Lunch was sushi and an apple Dinner was fresh crab salad, some...

Thanks very much to both of you for your helpful words. I've had two days back on track now and aiming for GREEN as you say!

Hi All, I am really in a bit of a state today. I got back from a week away and it took a good three days to get over the jet lag. ...and I just binged on all sorts of crap despite having been to see a nutritionist about some health problems I have. I just couldn't get my head around it all and on to...

Hi all, well I am now back from an extremely lardy vacation- I feel soooooooo polluted that I at least am feeling like eating healthy foods and getting back on track. I'm not going to get on the scales, my clothes are enough to tell me that I have gained a little. Handily my appointment with a dieti...

Hi all, I have to say, just reading these posts, and with no in depth knowledge of this Johnson programme, that as well as it being very hard to sustain, what it appears to be endorsing is a form of binge-starve cycle- even though it is somewhat moderated. That's where "it" always starts. If, like m...

Hi- I'm pretty new to all of this and actually it is really great to read that there are lots of people who are having similar issues to me in terms of S days. I have perma-dieted for so many years now that if I "lose control" of my portions- I will just go mad- and that's what I have done. I do rea...

SUCCESS in that I am adhering to the programme....although I am still eating too much on those S days. But as Reinhart says, this is a marathon, not a sprint, and I have a couple of decades of diet mentality to shift!!! But it's a start :D Please do read my blog- all of us can help each other! Anyon...

Hi there, thanks for the welcome! Yep, it was Sunday and I know that it would be an S day- but it was my Day One and frankly I had inhaled the entire carbohydrate contents of my house over the last few days so I thought I would start on a Sunday rather than wait! But I will be doing the programme as...

Hello All, just checking in. I would rate today as a success as I am such a terrible nibbler and snacker and actually managed three plates...with a few veggies that slipped in while preparing dinner but as soon as I realised I stopped :D So that's me done for today. Can't wait to receive the book so...

Hello All I came across the No S system while I was searching for (yet another) diet to end all diets (again) and actually this seemed to make real sense to me! So I have ordered the book and am raring to go. I have created a blog so it helps me focus- now, I have NEVER blogged before and frankly I ...
