Where did the weekend go? I haven't checked in, but I'm doing fine. My husband & I had dinner with friends on Saturday night & it was great fun. I enjoyed Italian food & ate my meal without any guilt...what a concept! Yesterday was fine. I got my mile in at the pool & that was important. For some re...

Welcome to the most sane program you'll ever find. Is it the fastest way to loose weight? Nope. Is it the way to get off the diet roller coaster? Absolutely. I've been on & off diets all my life...and I'm 51. I've been doing NoS on & off for about three years & in my opinion, there is no other optio...

I love the photos of your garden. I'd show you pictures of mine, but there's nothing but next summer's garlic and bare ground. Our seasons are so different!

Hope you have a good day....janie

You were tired & crabby - but you still had a green day! That's a huge success!!! Next time you have the same kind of day you know you can do this. Those tired & crabby days are the days I know I'm making real progress. If I can conquer them, I can make the rest go well. I like this quote too... “...

I had a great day with our now 18-year old son. I made some quick bread for his breakfast & ended up eating a slice for my breakfast too. It was sweeter than I would have usually allowed myself on a weekday, but I decided that if I just had one slice I'd feel fine about it. Josh asked for chicken wi...

Catching your thoughts definitely makes a successful day! I'm truly sorry you were feeling those things. You were so wise to recognize that eating more wasn't going to help.

Well done...

If you're less than 3 months into No S, just trust the process. Nicest of the Damned, you said a whole pile of wise things, but this is what stands out to me. I've attempted NoS a number of times in the past 3 years, but this time around is completely different. There are a number of factors that I...

Snacks are the hardest part of this for me too. I keep telling myself that nothing will taste better than how being healthy will feel. It's still a struggle, but I know what a slippery slope snacks are to me. I have to be strict or I'll find myself having to climb back up that slope again....and I'm...
