the first time I started no s I was nursing. Because I knew I should have a higher caloric intake while nursing, I didn't always follow the no snacks rule. when it was time to nurse, I would fix myself a big glass of ice water and grab a small, healthy snack like a cheese stick or spoonful of peanut...

as far as being at home all day, one of the best things you can do to keep temptation away is to not have treats in the house during the week. I buy my s-day treats on saturday or sunday and I only buy enough for those s-days. It's way too tempting to open the freezer on Monday and see a half-full c...

I haven't weighed in about a month. I've been back to vanilla no-s for about 7 weeks and I notice a small change in my size and I feel great. I'm so afraid if I weigh now and see no change or only a pound or two, that I will give up again. I don't think I'm ready to weigh yet. So I'm simply tracking...
