Thank you both for your support and encouragement. Pulling through to end another good week. Not perfect but determined to be 100% perfect as of right now. I have broken the 130 pound bArrier and am now 129 pounds. So so so happy about that My mindset has changed and getting used to throwing food away is very powerful. I have to practise it more…[Read more]

Welcome back BK. So happy you Re determined and motivated to conquer this weight loss journey here all together. It works if we do the work. It deifntley requires focus and there is a lot of fear I know for me when it comes to real food and only eating five bites. I have found though I will not settle for mediocre bites. I actually threw my…[Read more]

The best chocolate bar in the world. Hope you are doing okay and back up on your feet. Now is the best time to do this weight loss and five bite way of changing  our lives and mindset. I hope and wish you the strength and courage to an amazing weight loss for this springtime

You are doing a wonderful job keeping motivated and preparing for anxiety Bk!  Keep up the great work!  Sharon

Great idea, BK.  I love the idea that you are getting fully dressed up early on in the day, ready to take on the world.  By preventing laziness from overcoming you, you are staying sharp and focused.  You are not going to settle for mediocrity, and you are not going to give in to other people whims.   It sets a tone of “I’m in charge here,” and…[Read more]

About to eat my second bar for today. I’m doing well and found some information to help me process anxiety better than just eating! I also got fully dressed today (makeup, hair and even earrings lol) it help my mood a lot

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hi SK!

Indeed … studies have shown (and of course, it varies from person to person) that in general when people are hotter they eat less.  For whatever reason (think about super hot days during the summer) when it’s stifling outside you simply aren’t as hungry.  Right?  Also, as your body gets warmer, you metabolism, by definition, in…[Read more]

I haven’t weighed myself yet so I won’t know until Monday. Hoping for a larger number!

Hi Bk, great job identifying your stress trigger and getting back on track at your next meal!
Numbing anxiety with food is something I can relate to as well.
Keep up the great work!  Sharon

I hear you Bk. One night, I ate about a pound of peanut m&m’s after I got into in an argument with my 12 year old.  It was such a silly fight. I think I was yelling at him about playing too much Fortnite and not concentrating on his online school work. I can just remember eating and eating until I stuffed down all of my anger and frustration. Af…[Read more]

Thanks Bk! I know that I am an emotional eater for sure. And lately, food has been my remedy. But no more excuses. Need to “fall forward”.

Last night went great. I ate more than 5 bites at lunch but I’m back on track with my second bar. Some life stress is making me just want to numb my anxiety with food.

Welcome back! Sounds like you know what to do! This is a crazy time and I definitely understand how weight can come back with all of this uncertainty.

Forgot to ask this question for Dr. Lewis – In  couple of old posts, you had mentioned that when we feel warmer, we tend to eat less.  Why is this? You had suggested to wear a sweater or a warm jacket around the house. Today I’m wearing a winter coat inside today – lolol! I need all the help I can get today on Day 1.
