Joy&Balance's Daily check-in
After stopping No S a long time ago, I've decided I need to regain my sanity around food and weight issues. What better place to come to than here?
My first goal - 3 successful weeks of vanilla No S to be documented here.
Yesterday (5/12/14) was day one. (Started weighing 146.5).
Day 1: SUCCESS

First 2 S days almost over, and I feel great about where I'm at. I allowed myself a little more freedom this weekend, but didn't go too crazy. No binges.
Day 6: S-Day
Day 7: S-Day
If I can just halt the gaining with vanilla No S, I'll be happy! It is so freeing.

Welcome to the boards and exactly the way I chose to embrace the NO S days when I first started - nothing wild, just slightly more indulgent than a weekday. Much like growing up and having Sunday dessert after a nice dinner, something we didn't get every day.
Hope to get to know you better as we travel this road to health together.

I remember feeling SO relieved that I had stopped gaining weight after I started NoS. I had been moving steadily upward and it was like magic that NoS halted that gain. Cool Beans!

Thanks all!. Yes, this does feel magical, yet so normal - how is that possible?
On Sunday, I was at the grocery store and thought "Oh I could get myself a treat. It's an S day." Walked over and looked at them and didn't want one! Said to myself, "Well I'll just have ice cream later like I planned." that kind of thing never happens to me when dieting - it'a always just a struggle.
Day 8: SUCCESS

@eschano - Yes, it was great!
Day 9: SUCCESS
Yesterday I went to happy hour with some friends. they got food, and I thought hmm, do I want to make this my dinner or not? chose to wait until I got home to eat and didn't even want to nibble on their snacks - yes!
i'm also finding that my rather chronic constipation seems to be getting better - woo hoo!

Feeling awesome about 21 days with no failures! My main focus now is 1) keep going with establishing the No S habit, and 2) make the foods I eat on N days healthier. I'm going to do this by eating more whole foods on those days.
also started shovelglove this morning! Was fun and exhausting!
