Everyday Systems

Hey, All! I’m sure a lot of you remember me. I’ve known about No-S and jumped ship from it more times in the past 8 years than I could count. My latest “diet” was intermittent fasting. I’m sure it works for a lot of people, but for me I just have NO doubt the moderate approach of three plates and slow weight loss is just where it’s at for me. So I’m back to it. I’ve had a few greens this week so far. We recently moved from Hawaii to Texas (military) and just bought a house. My scale is still packed up so that’s probably a good thing! Ha. I recently got put back on blood pressure meds so yoga and walking are going to be added to the mix (although I honestly think all the coffee I was drinking daily with intermittent fasting might have done it). At the doc last month I was 225 so my weight is lower than it’s been but much higher than it was years ago when I first found No-S. What’s that tell ya???? . Onward!!!

Hi there TBmom! Love to see you posting!

Hi, Tobiasmom! Nice to see you again! My boys are about the same ages as your boys. My boys are 11 and 7.

I definitely remember you Tobiasmom. I think we started around the same time. I started posting again not too long ago. I did not quit doing NoS, but I get lax when I do not post. Welcome back!

Howdy! I don't remember you because I'm new here, but welcome!

It's a good time of year to be in Texas.

Well, a couple more months have passed, and we have finally moved into our new house and are pretty well settled. My head just messes me up. I know after all these years there’s no miracle. I need to eat moderately. Snacks and sweets are my big issue, and that’s what No-S helps me moderate. I just cannot wait to once and for all follow this lifestyle and show that despite many many MANY failures....this is sanity! In the past I’ve wanted to commit to a year. But I’ve decided that I have an indefinite commitment. One day at a time. Three plates. There IS nothing else out there that I can or will stick to. There’s no time limit on this journey. I know if I follow the plan I will eventually lose little by little. The yo-yo all these years has just abused my body and mind. No more. If I sit and really think about all the money and pain I’ve caused myself the last 25 years....well, there’s nothing I can do about it now but to just stop the madness. I’ve said that many times. But I just can’t lie to myself anymore. Amy, you are worth it!

Glad you are settling in to your new place.
And always glad to see you here on the forums.

Of course you are worth it. Try not to see it as a diet for it to be permanent it has to be a way of life for life
