I am starting the NoS Diet tommorrow! I have been counting calories since December 29.2008 and have lost about 14 pounds this month. Why would I change something that has been so successful? Because mentally, I am a wreck. Counting drives me crazy and as much as I want to have the willpower to be a successful calorie-counter, all of my attempts so far have proven fruitless. Sure, I lose the first month. Then, I'm semi-successful the next month and then in month three, I can't take it anymore, go on a no-counting, all-out extravaganza and proceed to gain back everything I lost plus more.
Well, month two was fastly approaching and I was heading right into my usual semi-successful gray area.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein.
We've all heard this quote a million times, I'm sure. Well, that's because it's true!
It's time for me to try something different. I love the concept of NoS, which, if you haven't heard about you can find on the above link. I also like Reinhardt's no-nonsense style and hey, he used to be a librarian, so you know I'm gonna listen to him! Most of all, he's not promising anything miraculous, just some simple, sane eating and moderate, slow weight loss - without counting, which is super-important to me!
So, I will chronicle my sojourn into the NoS lifestyle on this blog. Basically, what you'll get is food porn, lots of my whining and complaining, weigh-ins on the 26th of every month and whatever successes befall me.
Onwards and upwards..or downwards in my case!
