I missed a day of NaBloPoMo, so I'm not feeling pressured to write everyday, so I haven't updated in a while.
I found it through a forum for the C25K - Couch to 5K, a program that helps you run 5 Km in 9 weeks. It is sooo simple, it only has 14 words as the "rules". There are forums on there that are really helpful, and you can see everybody else posting to try and build their habit. Check it out! Link
I'm now on Day 7 and I can say that so far, I have been SUCCESSFUL!
If you fall off the NoS "horse", you just get right back on - you just need to remember to reset your Days, and start counting again.
No foods are banned, except sweets - dessert foods containing mostly sugar (you know, lollies/candy, chocolates, cake, cookies, icecream) as long as you eat it during a meal (anything eaten outside of meals is considered a snack) - one dinner plate, no seconds or stacking food into a pile. I had potato chips with lunch the first time around, so I didn't feel so deprived, and I always had a piece of fruit on my plate to finish the meal and appease my sweet tooth.
This second time around, I am being more balanced - sticking to the general 3 meals structure of N-Days rather than constantly snacking on weekends, and allowing a 100 calorie treat on family days (they used to be sweet and snack minefields!) So far, this has me feel more in control and less deprived, and my family has been less judgemental - I used to get one sibling constantly telling me I couldn't eat something (even on weekends) and another one telling me not to be stupid and just eat what I was given (especially on S-Days). So, now I can just say "yes, please" or "no thanks, I'm not hungry" and I haven't had as much opposition or aggressive 'assistance'.
