OMG, have I been away for this long? Eek. Aaaanyway. I've actually been really good about No S, save for a week out of town when I decided to take a deliberate break--with multiple, severe food allergies and convention work and travel schedules, keeping up No S would pretty much have meant three mea...

No S assumes three meals, but it's been qualified repeatedly that that can be flexible based on individual needs. I find it really helpful sometimes to break lunch into two smaller meals. I'll pack a lunch--so, pre-curate the food, and the volume of it--but if I find myself low on energy earlier, I'...

50 days this past Monday! It's gotten to the point where No S is just what I do--I don't really think about it anymore, which is good as far as habit, but also seems to open doors for slip-ups. Next goal: More whole, from-scratch foods, more fresh veggies, better nutritional balance, and more mindfu...

My S Days were much lower-key last weekend. Yay! And 21 days, as of Sunday! I've not done as much cooking from scratch in the last few weeks as I'd like, and I've eaten too much fast food / pizza (not a ton, but more than once a week is more than I prefer); but all within the rules. No S has started...

You are a competent adult, not a toddler. No one should be forbidding you to walk. It's good that he cares, but you can't let his paranoia about safety set unreasonable limits on your life -- it's not like you want to take up bungee-jumping!

Basically: You need to learn to separate food from social activity and hospitality. A lot of us on this board could stand to do this. Wanting to be polite and sociable is one reason why people overeat. I'm sure we all have our stories of doing that. I noticed when I started No-S that it was *much* ...

First day of week two (observed). One of the good things about S days was that, after a week of N days, they really gave me a chance to take a critical look at my default / non-curated eating habits. Some insights: -I am a sensory snacker. I snack less because of hunger than as a fidget. I get about...

Also, there is no need to start over when you cannot exactly comply with the program. No one expects perfection. You either take a special day, such as for your parent's visit or acknowledge a fail and move on. You will have fails. Yeah, I know, but I decided to restart officially so that I could s...

Almost through my first full week! Plans for next week: smaller meals (I'm still feeling that out--three full meals rather than amorphous snacking is a pretty new thing for me!), more exercise, and better advance planning.

Meal Planning / Brainstorming
I searched around a bit, but couldn't find a thread for meal planning / brainstorming--either for questions, or just folks describing meals that work well for them.

Day 2 (counted) was successful. Larger lunches and smaller dinners seem to work best for me. Still working on timing, and how to break up mid-day meals. One thing I'm noticing is that NoS is forcing me to pay a lot more attention to balancing my meals. Before, I'd do a lot of catch-as-catch-can--eat...

Got through yesterday, including baking a cake with only minimal, necessary tasting. Today, planned lapse for a slice of said cake (I'm sticking with things I had planned before deciding to do No S; this is one of them). That said, this is a weird week, between the cake and a three-day parent visit ...

Hah! Somehow I'd gotten it stuck in my head that the meals *had* to be breakfast-lunch-dinner. I have no idea why. I think what I'm going to do is pack one lunch worth of food and divide it into two meals--one late morning, one mid-afternoon. I tend to eat dinner pretty late in the evening, so that'...

Semantics: Weight Loss vs. Wellness
Does anyone else struggle with / over-think this? I'm trying really hard to frame diet and exercise in terms of wellness rather than weight or size: I'd like to lose weight, but it's important to me that it be a secondary effect of eating better and being more active rather than an end in itself. So...

I don't weigh myself, and I don't plan to start: I've found that associating diet and exercise with weight in my head is a quick ticket to starvation and overexertion, at least for me.

How important is it to you to eat traditional "breakfast foods" for breakfast? If you're willing to break from that, your options open up tremendously.
