Success

After I failed all but one day of the first week and had binge sessions on my two S days, I seriously considered going back to some former diet. Not because of weight loss but because my cravings are out of control. I went searching again for another diet....but I stopped and asked myself if I reall...

Well, today was another failure. I am really struggling with cravings. Not sure how to get them under control. In the past this is why I have always turned to a low carb diet. It is the only way I can get my cravings to disappear. I am at a loss right now. I have a lot of thinking to do.

DAY FOUR

NO S FAILURE

Exercise FAILURE

Thanks MerryKat for stopping by. I agree with you about the clothing!

Day Three

NO S FAILURE

Exercise SUCCESS 3 mile walk

Even though I am trying not to focus on weight loss right now I still think I need to invest some energy into trying to feel good about my body the way it is right now. I have purchased very little clothing over the years because I kept promising myself that I would buy more when I lost weight. That...

Nicest, that is a great way to view this issue. I never thought to just sit down and think about all the bad habits that I have in regards to eating and exercise. It is probably something I should do. Hopefully No S tackles most of them.

I am going to work on this too. Even though from past dieting experience I know that my body feels better with certain foods I want to find a way to incorporate things I really like. I think we can find a balance between things our body needs and things we just like to eat because they taste so darn...

Dee, although cold turkey is often recommended, and it is better, if you can do it, even "fasting" from one meal to the next is a small success, too. See if you can think of it as just getting through the hours until the next meal. I had many days that got me through. Still does, sometimes. This is...

Day Two

NO S: SUCCESS

Exercise: SUCCESS -Total Body Workout

I am feeling very hopeful!

Blithe, Nicest, Christine, thank you for chiming in. I am going to give No S a try. Being frustrated with past experiences is a great motivator. Yesterday was day one. It didn't go well at all. Today, I am hoping for a better outcome. So far it has been good.

Day One: FAILURE

I struggled horribly.

I did walk 3 miles. So that is a SUCCESS.

I am going to do it! Today is my first day.

Joasia, thanks for sharing your success. It gives me hope and I really need that right now.

Tomorrow will be my first official day on No S. After much thought I have decided not to focus on my weight right now. My goal is to commit to this plan and change my relationship with food. I need mental freedom more than I need weight loss. So, for now that is my focus. I am actually a little exci...

Jellybeans, I was not really offended by your comments. I hope you were not offended by mine. I am simply frustrated with this whole issue and I am trying to find a way to change how I have been doing things over the years. I sincerely hope that No S will help me lose weight. However, I am trying to...

Well, jellybeans, I did ask. Yes, I am aware that my BMI puts me in the obese category. I don't like it. Not at all. But right now it is what it is. So, if I accept this weight am I accepting all the common lifestyle diseases? I have been researching the idea that it is possible to be healthy and no...

One of the definitions of acceptance implies approval, but all acceptance really means is "this is the way things are." It's acknowledgement of the conditions. Yes, this is the way things are. I stepped on the scale this morning and I weigh 174.8 pounds. This is the reality. At this weight I am wea...

Well, I have nothing to lose by taking this approach. I agree with wosnes that setting my mind to a 175 or less goal is probably better. I don't want to be 175 lbs but right now I need mental freedom more than weight loss. If I adopt the No S habits then I guess...hope... that my weight will go down...

Hello, I am a 37 year old 5'2 female weighing around 175lbs. I have yo yo dieted for many years. I have never been super successful on any diet plans and I definitely never made any plan a lifestyle. So, I am half way through another year of my life and I am still not the size/weight I have been str...
