I know that I am still very new to the NS program, but I have noticed a couple of things that I think seem to be relevant as I am losing quite well in my opinion. Safely and steadily thus far. I just am not sweating it too, too much actually. I stick to the plan "100%" 95% of the time;), if that makes any sense. But if I make dinner one night and for some reason I really want some...I simply have a meal with family , drink all my water plus...and be a good girl from there on out again. Maybe even skip my dessert that night. I feel satisfied not guilty and the craving is gone. When we go out or out of town I have a little of what I want , maybe even more than a proper diet portion but still I don't gorge. And drink gobs of water...that is one thing I do faithfully ..lots of water, real cold water and green tea twice a day.
I'm getting a little exercise in addition to my toddler chasing , housekeeping, business running...lol. But I am losing, and feel like I've found a workable zone for the plan...., for me anyway. I know some here lose alot more weight, alot more quickly than I am. I feel like maybe my skin will have time to adjust to, and lose my weight this time in a way that I can "FOR SURE" keep it off. I guess I just wanted to share what seems to be working very well for me. Feel free to give me your opinions and your lil ideas for customizing the plan to fit your life. best wishes to all you BIG LOSERS. :))
OK, so today this is my first official day on NS!!! I joined the site about a week ago, and ordered my food that day but just started eating the NS food today. I'm a bit anal so had to start on Monday when all my ducks were in a row...lol! But I did forget my salad stuff..must get tonight!!!! :(
I had a great weekend......saw "World Trade Center", then mostly just spent time with hubby, was relaxing ......ate out twice. I practiced at both meals on what I could eat while on the plan. Did pretty well, had mussels and no sauces, a house salad, water. DID NOT ORDER DESSERT, WHICH IS OH SO HARD FOR ME! Found an artificial sweetener I can handle ( which I never thought possible), it's Splenda btw. I will only drink the freakin gallons of water ( slight exaggeration) except for in AM's I do like my sweet coffee....or I am just out of it all day long!! So thankfully the splenda and coffee mate are do-able.:) I did however finish the day with a wicked headache...felt like was in my neck. Neck was very hot and my shoulders tight and drawn up.....like stress but I was having none that I was aware of...lol. Hard night as the head ache just got worse, I got up and took something, I rarely have a headache anymore .....was weird but oh well. I was not about to let that stop me from starting my MISSION!
The food is ok ..I can doctor it up with allowables and make it work. I have already drank half my H2o quota and had up to my snack as far food goes. I have felt crap as the head ache won't ease up...who knows why. I will be fine as soon as my stomach shrinks and my body adjust to not having the fat and sugar it was getting too much of. I am enjoying my new net friends on NS site...Love & Luck to ya all.
See ya there, Marni
