Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

I have dusted myself off and am on the NoS plan again.
Yesterday was Day1
Success
B= Choccie Protein Shake made with water - yummy and filling
L= Tuna Salad - roasted cauliflower, tomato and olives with of course tuna and a little Paul Newmans original salad dressing
D= Failed roast chicken - long story but needless to say I had the roast vegies and some mashed potato followed by a cup of tea (while the roast almond dark choccie in the fridge was shreiking my name!!)
I am not going to go over the last couple of weeks and will keep these update posts short and simple.
Food is fuel! Fx
It is only food, there is plenty of it you just have to wait for a couple of hours until you can have your next meal, seriously waiting is not going to kill you but binging will!

Don't beat yourself up.
Learn from your mistakes, and move on.

Worst waste of time is regret. Nothing to do but move on. Best of luck.
