Hello Dawn and welcome to the group,
I had to reply since you said you are an aspiring fiction writer. I was able to stay
home fulltime in 1999 to dedicate myself to my writing. (And I immediately gained ten
pounds) My first inspirational fiction book Streams of Mercy came out this summer.
Ever since, I have been busy with promotion. In fact, today I had an interview with a
radio station in London, England. Exciting!!!!!!!! At one point I almost forgot the
title of my book. Tonight I have a book signing and author discussion at a library.
They are always fun.
Best of luck with your writing and NoS. In the past if I had something to
celebrate--like my radio interview--I would think of going out to dinner and gorging
on something special. Now I try to resist that urge. There are so many more
beneficial ways to celebrate. Actually, the event should be celebration enuf.
Peace,

Subject: [nosdiet] Hello and introduction
Hello everyone!
I just found the NoS diet and started it Monday. So far so good. I look forward to
those S days, though : ).
A little about me--I'm a stay at home mom to a school age daughter and a wannabe
fiction author. I just finished my first manuscript and am in the editing stage now.
We'll see if it ever gets published.
Debbie, in regard to your question about the 21 days--I believe this is the time
limit for exercise to become ingrained as well. I'm not sure where the 21 days/three
weeks comes from, but "they" (who are these people? : ) say that three
weeks is how long it takes to make something habitual. I know it works very well for
exercise, but not sure with this eating plan. I guess I'll find out.
I exercise regularly, at least an hour a day and do both cardio and strength training
via ballet, Callanetics, The Bar Method, Lotte Berk, etc. I try not to use weights
because I tend to build muscle very quickly and get a bulky look that I do not like.
Anyway, that's all I'll bore you with today. I have about 11.5 pounds more to lose to
reach my minimal goal weight, and 21.5 to reach my ideal goal weight. I like to set
reachable goals and then up the bar once I get there.
Much peace and strength to all!
Dawn

Subject: [nosdiet] Dear Founder, Mister E!
Hey Reinhard, I was wondering about something...Please don't take
this in any way, as a challenge to your theories, as it is not that,
but I have been wondering where you came up with the 3 week theory
of "forming a habit", I seem to be resisting this for some reason
and I can't put my finger on why...I will look over your original
NoS document for the answer, but if you have a moment and feel up to
it, could you provide your rationale...If it's not particularly
scientific I don't really care, but I am the kind of person, who
disects stuff to make sense of it...and I feel it would help me
completely embrace the 3 week regimen better, if I really knew
the "why" behind that number. If you say, "I pulled it out of a
hat" or "I just like things that come in threes" I will
wholeheartedly accept it...but for some weird reason, I am feeling
like I am missing an important part of the puzzle.
Thank you in advance!
Peace and Love,
Debbie :)
