Keep it up Mimi! All we can do is keep trying, and take one day or one meal at a time. I too, am striving to have a good relationship with food. For now I'm just trying to stick to the rules of No-S without necessarily changing what I eat at meals. I find that this helps to resist the temptation of ...

I would have marked it an S-day. Since all you had was a piece of cake, and it was for your birthday, and you didn't take advantage of the fact that you had cake to eat sweets for the rest of the day, I think an S-day would be o.k. Maybe I'm not strict enough, but if I had called it a failure, in my...

WEEK OF APRIL 26 Mon Apr 26: It was an almost green day -- I took a small piece of cookie that was offered me... but on the upside, I went to the gym. So, overall, not a bad day. :) Tue Apr 27: Had 4 marshmallows and a big bowl of cereal in between meals. Not doing too well, but I want to keep post...

Technical Question: Order of Postings
Is there a way for us to set up our personal profile to show the newest postings first rather than starting with the oldest? This would be useful for the multiple page postings. I usually just switch the selection at the bottom to have the newest first, but was wondering if I could set it up by defa...

Around 9:00 p.m. I thought I was starting to feel hungry (not sure if it was really hunger because I had a reasonable supper at 6:30). I managed to hold off unti...

Thanks for the encouragement Mimi! I know that I have to take one day at a time. Also, I can't let one small slip destroy the rest my day. I know that No S is the way to go for me -- I've spent most of my life counting something (calories, points) or measuring food -- I just can't do it anymore. I d...

I'm back to try again ...
Hi, I haven't posted in a while (don't remember when the last time was). Since I've been off this site, I've tried online weight watchers, online calorie counter, and nothing worked (motivation not there) :oops: :cry: . This past week-end I was considering a protein diet -- but I know it's not the s...

Well, I haven't been on this site for the last while because I've been having red days on a regular basis and I kind of got discouraged. I've been tempted to go back on other diets that I've tried in the past (doesn't make sense, I know, because I had no success with them). So today I decided to log...

Second, some of my biggest failures have been after extended periods of extra willpower - as if I've exercised the muscle to exhaustion. I like the notion of S-days as "rest." For me, they reasure the unreasoning emotional part of myself that I am NOT going through a period of deprivation, that I c...

However, I don't think of NoS as a diet, but rather a lifetime way to handle meals, sweets, and snacks. I so much agree with what you're saying. Everytime I have gone on a diet in the past, in the back of my mind, I've always said that I don't think I could spend the rest of my life counting, measu...

I was hoping to get through the week-end with only 1 dessert, but I ended up having 2 desserts + chips. However, this was much better than it usu...
