Everyday Systems

You mean the habit building? Yes, it is pleasant. This morning, at 4am, I picked up a haribo sweet, had a little internal debate about whether it was really the 'next day' yet, decided to keep the fence around the law and....didn't eat it. Go me! Night shifts are hard, especially when you are feelin...

So today was another success. (Day's not over, but I will allow myself a hot milky drink if I'm desperate later - or just get an early night). Breakfast - porridge Lunch - salad with pickled herring, poached egg, cucumber, tomato, greens, and some bread with butter Dinner - root vegetable bake with ...

I think I'm just in the process of working out what I need in those three meals a day - I'm not deliberately depriving myself, I've just not got it quite right yet.

So, today I had Breakfast: Cereal - sultana bran - with milk Lunch: Leftover leek flan with salad (which I got to eat at 4pm courtesy of a crazy shift) Dinner: Tagliatelle with mushroom and salad. No snacks, no sweets and no seconds. And it was a long day at work (12.5 hour shift) surrounded by choc...

This one http://www.whomadeyourpants.co.uk/ They also put the company name on the address label on the outside of the box, which was a bit embarrassing for my husband as the postman had to ring the door bell as parcel didn't fit the letter box. Only three small chocolate coins (unasked for, but they...

Another success day yesterday - pasty with some chinese greens and mushrooms in the evening - no seconds and no snacking after. Hurrah! Today is my fortieth birthday, so a special day. I got sent some new pants in the post this morning, and included in the box were some chocolate coins. As I opened ...

I did feel a bit peckish in the evening, and had a cup of cocoa before bed (not too sweet). Overall, I don't think it seemed too little though - the fish soup had loads of mussels, prawns, squid and red snapper as well as broth. If I had bigger bowls, I might have added soem noodles to that. Today I...

So, provided no snacks tonight, I have just about kept to No S on day one. No sweets, hurrah! No snacks (and even spat out a raisin that had fallen off my son's teacake and ended up in my mouth by accident), hurrah! And (perhaps) technically No Seconds. I made Thai fish soup this evening, and it was...

Anyhow, the No S diet book advice on eating patterns when working complex shift patterns and/or nights is to get a different job! The only thing I read in the book about that says "Long term, the best thing to do is try to change your circumstances and get yourself on a less crazy schedule." (p 59)...

I'm just starting No S, and I've picked an easy week to start with two NWS days. Let's see how I do.... Edited to add: My starting weight is 11 stone, or 154 pounds. Height 5ft 4 inches, so a BMI of 26.4. 1 - NWS DAY New Year's 2- SUCCESS 3- SUCCESS 4- NWS DAY My Fortieth Birthday 5- S DAY 6- S DAY ...

Hi, I'm new to the board - just bought the No S book and really want to make these changes to the way I eat. I'm not massively overweight, but a bit overweight and know that I overeat - snacking, and sweets, and seconds. Anyhow, the No S diet book advice on eating patterns when working complex shift...
