Hi Reinhard, and thanks for the encouragement. I think because both habits
(smoking and snacking) are ritualistic I'm actually finding it surprisingly
complementary to do both things at once. I admit I have had to cut out
coffee (as its simply too much association to having a cigerette for me),
but am drinking absurd amounts of tea instead (and experimenting with all
sorts of bizarre herbal, fruit and green tea's as well), which every body is
assuring me are very healthy, and that allows me to be ritualistic indulging
myself in tea through the day.
So far I feel great, but have decided not to weigh myself til March. The No
S is a commensense system that allows pounds to shed gradually and to stay
off as far as I can see, so I'm not expecting miracles and I look forward to
seeing the results over the coming months.
Rgds, Eleanor
