your before/after picture is quite inspiring!

Wow!  Thanks for posting this, Chloe!

I happened to be at the exact weight I want to be (actually, maybe a pound lighter!), and it’s mealtime, so I’m going to go find something to eat.  But after reading your post, I lost the desire to eat.  Crazy!!

spiderchlome. thanks for your encouraging emoji!!! Sean

beclean, Yes, for us this is perfectly normal.  I  get folks all the time telling me that it is not healthy.  However, being overweight is NOT healthy.  Also, I remind people that even though I am 69 years old, in the last 10 years I have run 15 marathons.  Unhealthy people cannot do that.  I maybe crazy, but with all the Snicker Bars that I’ve…[Read more]

SCS, in fact, not only does the candy bar look delicious, it has become quite normal in these crazy days!  I must admit, though, that when I reach mu optimal  weight I will likely leave Snicker Bars off the menu for a while!!! Sean

I started reading a book on cognitive behavioral therapy to help me out with sabotaging thoughts around food. it’s supposed to help a person stick to ANY diet vs sticking to any particular diet. Most of the stuff is what Dr. Lewis already says but there are some other strategies that I feel compliment 5 bites really well. I think I’ll just post…[Read more]

Hi Strawberry –

You are doing EXACTLY what you need to do to stay motivated!! YOU have joined, started and are getting involved. YOU are making a commitment to yourself that YOU are worth it! You are worth the effort of saying no to temptation, you are worth the momentary hunger, you would do anything for the you that would do anything for the…[Read more]

Exactly right, Tonia!  The food that you don’t finish tasting today will be waiting for you at the finish line.  But NOTHING comes even close to tasting as good as being thin feels.  So keep up the good focus and find a way to pass time that doesn’t involve food.  An absolutely extraordinary life awaits you!!!

Today is day one, have had my snickers and then had an egg. Felt yucky from all the booze yesterday so I needed the egg.

I am so stuffed from all the food I ate yesterday I am not hungry at all. But my mind and greed wants me to get something tasty because I’m bored and because food does taste good. But I won’t because nothing tastes as good as…[Read more]

good work!

Yeah I don’t even mess with those, way to tempting. popcorn and other types of snack food are out for me since it’s too difficult to get just right, but that’s just me

this is amazing… love the pic…

only us understand the pic, a snicker and people would panic about what are we doing. jajaja, but I LOVE IT..!

Spoon…

Yes, I guess I am use to have nuts given that I am vegetarian for 25 years now, and somehow, they are just a usual food for me that I don’t crave it. But I will watch it, in fact I am going to count the amount of almonds that fit in the spoon for times that I don’t have a spoon and know how many almonds to eat and count it as a bite…

thanks.

Right!

When I think of all the hundreds (maybe thousands) of times I have sat down to a dinner plate of 4 oz of chicken and 1 cup of vegetables, the candy bar looks perfectly delicious!

Dr. Lewis, you are right.  Snicker bars are not very exciting and I doubt that I will have another one for awhile after I reach my goal of 150 lbs.  I am desperate to break the plateau soon, but I know that I must be careful and prudent.  I am praying and hoping that during This next week I will get close to 159.  Then  I will be in the Fini…[Read more]
