Yah for N Day

I am relieved that it is Monday and I can officially not take cookies from the cookie tray put out at work. I am glad I can say no to whatever goodies are left at home. I am glad I can say no to the desserts my mom would like to present to me at tea time. : )

I have allowed my Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Saturday and Sunday for my S days and I am certainly in sugar shock. I even would like to admit that I didn't actually enjoy any of the sweets I had beyond the initial bite and would really like to work on that in the new year ( not finishing something if it isn't satisfying ).

I know what you mean. After celebrating on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I was so ready to get back to N Days that I just didn't take Saturday and Sunday as S Days at all. And now it's Monday, and back to business as usual.

So, hooray for N Days indeed!!

I think of this as being like the tide turning. When the tide is coming in, you literally grip the edge of your chair waiting for S Days. When the tide is turning, you get stomach aches on S Days and yet dread N Days. When the tide is going out, you prefer N Days.

Congratulations!

Interesting image, and so true.

I so could have written the original post. I took four straight S days, and each one got a little worse. It wasn't just what I ate; I also had a problem with the fruits and vegetables I didn't eat.

It was a relief to get back on board today and have some sense back in my food consumption.

I so completely understand!
I had an *over-the-top* S day on Saturday, the day after Christmas - the first one in a loooong time. I felt so badly about it and went into a panic, but reminded myself that one day of overeating could not possibly destroy 8 months of habit building...I also reminded myself that just because I dented a fender I didn't need to drive my car over the cliff. It worked! Yesterday, Sunday, I was much more incontrol - and HAPPY to be so, although I had pie and Cool Whip at my son's. Today it was back to N-day business as usual. What a huge victory this was for me!
