I personally couldn't care less how fast I lose weight, or whether I 
lose any at all; I just want to stop eating indiscriminately. What 
attracted me to No-S was its claim of being a "framework to control 

excess." If this is true, I've found my Holy Grail. 

For people who eat for reasons besides hunger, there's always a 
wildcard variable that makes you vulnerable to tossing restraint to 
the wind at any time, for no discernible reason. But if that's going 
to happen on any diet, and I believe it will, I'd still rather be on 
No-S. The rules are clear and brief, and there's nothing expensive 
to buy.

If I fail at this, I may as well check into therapy, though I haven't 
seen anyone truly overcome indiscriminate eating through therapy. 

I doubt it will come to that anyway; just the idea of being a No-S 
Dieter (not to mention a closet Shovelglover) makes me smile, and 
that beats therapy any day!
