thanks guys , well, i guess i will never learn, i had someone talk me into trying isagenix, its a cleanse and detox. well i am sending it back and getting my money back, at 50 i thought i had learned that there is no quick fix. so............ i REALLY have tried everything. so now it is time to do this right. thanks for being here guys.

i know if i just come on here daily and just read and learn from you all i will finally get healthy. i hope i have finally learned my lesson. i dont want to have to take supplements and live on shakes to lose wt so i only did it for 2 days, so i can still get my money back.

OMgosh, I remember my tax preparer using Isagenix a few years ago when I had been on No S for awhile, certainly more than a year. I actually bought a bottle of something but never finished it. I knew I wouldn't do that whole kit and kaboodle, though. I imagined even one day on it and my insides cringed. I avoided all the testimonials. No S has helped me ignore all testimonials that aren't from people who have used whatever celebrated program for two years or more. Two to five years is the minimum. Before that, a huge percentage of people relapse. (Unfortunately, that might be true here, too. So much food available!)

What's interesting is that almost every year, my accountant has had some new angle on weight loss, all of them some kind of tricky food balancing or restricting, you can't eat this, and you can't eat that. This year she has sort of given up and weighs the most I've ever seen her weigh, I"m pretty sure. She has seen me lose and maintain, then lose some more for all these years. But I can tell that she doesn't believe it could work for her. And it might be true, because changing eating habits does demand a kind of honesty that can be hard to face and the willingness to keep going even when it's taking a long time to adjust. Lord knows I could use that honesty in some other areas of my life, and sometimes with No S, too!

I gently suggest you write a list of the reasons you want to learn to eat moderately permanently. Even if you never post here, read that list several times a day for the first few weeks and daily for at least three months. You can do that! I resisted doing that for years but finally did it, not just the making of the list, but actually reading it, the time I really committed to No S. the statements I had made and read started floating into my mind at just the right moments. It was pivotal. So was using many of the thinking strategies of Judith Beck though I hated her emphasis on being thin. I still do. I don't have to be thin. I just have to eat moderately.

It really is worth the sacrifice of pleasure from extra food to gain the pleasure of not being too full a lot of the time, to feeling more vital and springy. The bad news is the reward for not eating that next bite is not right at the moment of sacrifice. But it's worth it to wait. (That's one of my mantras. And when you have a lot of experiences of that being true, it gets easier. You just have to get over a few humps.)

I'm on your side!

thanx for the post. i am moving more so thats good, but i am still struggling with eating. cause i thought i had to count cal again. well that resulted in a 4 lb gain. i need to be done with it all and do and STICK with no s. it is the one that makes the most sense. i just need to come on here more. thanx for still being here for me. have a great day all.

Have the best meals you can! Make them worth waiting for, esp. at the beginning-I mean, the re-beginning. When starting over, it's always good to backtrack a little.

thanx so much for the advice. i can do this. going to talk about blood test on nov 2 i am also seeing a liver doctor for a fatty liver . so we will see.... looking forward to re starting. i work at a deli and it is hard not to pick on things i got into a very bad habit with that. about time to really change.

at 50 i am so tired of fighting myself on this. well gotta get my head straight and move on!!!

Sounds like you may have incentive to commit to moderation. You can do it!

One step/day at a time.

The goal is to do better today than you did yesterday. No need to worry about having "perfect" days. I promise baby steps work as long as you keep at it.

Kind regards
