Hi Donna, I did find after trying and failing on NOS for about 6 
months that when I made sure on NOS days my meals were very ample 
but only 1 plate that helped me make it without eating until the 
next meal. When I first started out I was so afraid and had a hard 
time mentally accepting eating a large meal; I was afraid I was even 
going to gain more weight. I did put on a few more pounds before 
the 4 came off so don't let that scare you. Getting the pattern 
down is more important than anything. It took me, as I said 6 months 
to finally do it.

I was also someone who obsessed about food. I even once tried, 
before NOS, to eat 1/2 cup of somethng every half hour thinking 
maybe that would help me. It was crazy. I spent alot of time 
looking at the clock, measuring, I couldn't get anything else done 
at work. I just didn't know how to stop putting food in my mouth 
constantly. I am so surprised and still in shock that I can just 
eat three meals now. It really feels good. I know it will be slow, 
but I have really accepted that.

Hang in there. We have all had those crazy feelings and cravings.
