first of all, i want to say thank you soooo much to deb (and
congrats on the loss of poundage :) and julie, you have no idea how
nice it was to read both of your comments this morning, i cried (ya,
i'm a baby lol) aaand i'm going to kill two birds w/ one stone and
reply to both of you in this e-mail
>No, my son Richard would be the youngest NoSser.. He is nine years
>old... he does a 75% version of NoS... I just allow him to have a
>little after school *healthy* snack and maybe one extra sweet a
>week... (as opposed to the cookies every night last year, and coke
a
>few times a week to boot)...
>He hasn't posted yet, but maybe I will join him up officially and he
>will give you his own special advice! Out of the mouths of babes...
what a great idea to get him started on GOOD eating habits now...and
can't wait to officially hear from him :)
>When you have a "bad week" as you put it, just acknowledge it,
learn
>from it, and forgive yourself.. Then most importantly, move
>forward...
that's another thing i have to work at...accepting my mistakes and
just getting over it!! it's gonna happen though...i don't care how
long it takes. i guess it was even worse because i was doing soo
well w/ NoS before this week. i guess it's just something all of us
go through at some point (except for the really lucky ones!!!)
>one "S" is your most damaging, maybe sweets?
ooooooh you couldn't be any more dead on :\
on to julie's reply...

>certain foods you go for when you are emo. Dont have them around !!
i ate almost a whole pint of ben&jerry's last night (pistachio
pistachio, if you're curious) :( and the 1st thing i thought of when
i woke up this morning was "i need to get all of that crap food out
of my room" i live in a dorm room and it's even harder to ignore all
of the S's when they're RIGHT in front of you! bc it's not like i
can "go into the other room..." this is the only one i have! lol as
soon as i'm done writing this (sorry it's so long!) i'm going to
chuck all of it. i was going to find people to give it to (bc i'm
sure i could find people in my hall willing to accept free food!)
but i think the actual disposal of the food will be satisfying.
kinda symbolic, ya know? i'll let the dining hall be the source of
my S's on the weekends
>Keep checking in and keep us posted so we can encourage you and be
>there for you.
i definitely will :)
thanks so much again! believe it or not, this was a huuge help
