I grabbed the bag (somewhat smaller bag...all rice cakes in bag equalling 350 calories) and while pouring a few on my plate, I took a few more from the bag, sat down, and finished the bag. Huh? Thing is, I had never ...

Thanks gals for relating. Well there's nowhere else to go other than to get back on our feet. Because we don't want to be miserable! Sinnie: You're not a'kidding: a single carrot!

Great Blog Post To Share
A blog I follow (which has great recipes and writing) follow a young girl who has lost over 125 pounds. She did it the slow and hard way. Eating less. I love her posts. She's down to earth and realistic about this journey. Thought you'd enjoy her latest: http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2012/05/01...

I think what you're feeling is normal! I understand this void that is now there. The THRILL of getting HIGH off sweets is gone and it's just....a food. Fancy that? Something to nourish us? That's all it does? I think that's why so many abuse food. It DOES something for us and when it no longer does,...

YAY! Hooray for a pretty good weekend! I understand that it is nicer sometimes to have dessert with dinner. It almost just "closes the gates" for the night. I did that last night too and didn't feel as bloated at bedtime (though I'm sure I still had a big dessert). It might be a good habit on S days...

oolala: Thank you for your sound advice and thoughts. It IS so true that the "normal" is, in fact, NO-S. What should not be normal is perma snacks, quick meals, daily treats, etc. It's what has gotten our country in trouble! The wagon is going and I'm on. I've had a new commitment to No-S as I have ...

Thanks, Roxy! I appreciate your words. I'll be fine. I just listened to Reinhard's podcast about strictness which helped. Really, I just got lackadaisical this week and suffered in return.

Hi friends. Just checking in here saying I've failed the last few days and can't quite pinpoint why. Like a rebellion. I don't have the energy yet to think about it too much, but this is my question: Anticipating your S weekend, do any of you throw the towel in a little sooner than the weekend, just...

Thanks, Deb. I think you nailed something about possibly introducing another taste of sweetness into my meals, esp. dinner. That yogurt sounds divine. I need to plan something similar. I had such a savory salty salad that I sweets were beckoning. Plus, I looked back to when I tried No S a couple yea...
