my new plan is to just try and think about food less. my problem on Sdays is i was always thinking about what to eat next and not so much if i really wanted to eat it. i was basically just eating because i could. and i think that is why it got a little out of control. so i'm starting this weekend wi...

So yeah, not going to pretend it is not annoying but this is exactly why I wasn't weighing myself. Last time I tried no s I freaked out about the weight and went back to calorie counting. But now I am feeling that little voice again. "Oh maybe it would be better to go back to that". Then I remember ...

So after roughly 8 weeks of doing noS, I finally decided to weigh myself. It was just as I expected, gained about 8 lb. But I knew it would be some weight, so I accept that and move on. I was basically not living a good life due to eating minimal calories before, so I figured doing something like th...

completely been there. and after doing this consistently for 2 months and realizing that weight gain will happen (and probably did, but i don't know because i haven't weighed myself since i started this), i have accepted that this is so much better! just like you all, i had a bad case of diet mental...

MJ, SpiritSong, KL, Patty , thanks so much for your cheery words. :D I am happy & content to keep on this No"S" path, whatever it brings. I feel at peace with myself & my body, I am at peace with food and what I eat, I relish the 3-plate framework and the reassuring monotony of my workout routines....

I think i can call today green but dinner was a bit crazy. 1 piece of pizza, almonds, a few small hardboiled eggs, a protein bar. it would all fit on a plate just fine so i think it is ok but it is definitely a strange dinner! i kind of virtual plated but i want to avoid doing that as it tends to le...

I am sorry to hear of the weight gain. I know I have certainly gained weight since I started nos because I was in a bad case of diet head before, and was certainly not eating enough. But I keep in my head the knowledge that mentally I am so much better. The pounds don't bother me quite as much knowi...

Hello- Just wanted to drop by and give you a personal thanks for your note to my thread last month. You mentioned the idea of using a number scale, and I decided to take your advice. I just started it, but so far I really like it. My poor eating habits are SO out of control that for the past couple...

Well it was quite a weekend. The diet obsessed family friend who got into the discussion with me came over and stayed the weekend. I made the entire weekend not focused on food. She was really visiting the other members of my household too so it wasn't so bad for me to just get away whenever she wan...
