congratulations navin
Well, I've been No-S-ing for about 9 months, and have lost about 15
lbs.
that is great news for a newbie like me to hear.

the best thing for food u don't want to eat is to LIE, lol, and say 'no
thanks, that's not my thing' or 'I'm allergic to X, I will come out in
hives'. that deals with the manners side of things.

the temptation bit ...... well, that is a bit harder. drink lots of water
and herb teas. my temptation happens in the evening and I still haven't 
got
a handle on it.

for me it is finding replacement stuff to do I think that makes me feel
loved and nurtured. good things like meditation, painting flowers, singing,
writing and talking to friends .... I am making small steps but it is going
to take a long time. I have 30 yrs of habits to overcome.

keep us informed about how your progress goes.

love

jen

Well, I've been No-S-ing for about 9 months, and have lost about 15
lbs. One of the biggest difficulties I have been running into is
dealing with food at the office. Often people bring in stuff just for
the heck of it - it's usually not difficult to turn that down. But
frequently - maybe once every couple weeks - people bring in sweets
that are homemade, or bring in celebratory food for things such as
promotions, birthday, etc. From a social standpoint, it can be
difficult to turn that kind of stuff down (especially the homemade
stuff), not to mention the regular temptations of having something
nice and tasty across the hall.

Anyone else have this kind of issue? Any good ways of dealing with
it? Granted, I suppose if I'm still losing weight, it must not be
*that* big of a problem, but this is still an issue... I definitley
see consequences on the scale when this happens.
