Hey Tonia –

I am doing bars too! They are the best for me to reset and detach from food and all the temptation it brings. Dr. Lewis said I could put a bit of creamer in my coffee. It has not interrupted my weight loss. I don’t make it light.

I was exactly where you were before recommitting. I went to a friend’s house and it seemed impossible to…[Read more]

Hi Dr. Lewis-

I was so busy all day. It was a less hungry day than usual. The mid to late morning was tough but I rode it out. 2 bars and drinks and DONE!

Weight this morning…DRUM ROLL…122.4. Today day 4. Started at 128.4. The best part is the cravings have stopped. I can also see the appetite going down.

That chat with you Monday night…[Read more]

YES!!!!   YES!!!  

So, yesterday at the chat you said you were quite hungry, and rightly so.  But how about today–day #3?  How is your hunger?

For sure it will help.  Come her often and spend time reading/watching.   Your objective here is to get thin and live an extraordinary, exceptional life.  Toward that end, every moment of time that you can spend doing something that doesn’t involve food is time well spent.

Nope.  Absolutely not.  But it would be great if you could participate!!

I love that.  When you become this aware of the process of eating–the flavor of the food, the texture of the food, the after tastes of food (and coffee!), the gradual and comfortable snuffing of hunger–a few things happen:

1.  Food tastes better–obviously–because you are really focusing on the food itself.  When you commit to something, do it…[Read more]

YES, SCS!!!  You have experienced the true power of setting your hungerstat.  It’s amazing, isn’t it?  Although the actual size of your stomach (of course) hasn’t changed a bit, those stretch receptors really do not want to be over taxed, and they’ll make you feel horrible if you try to push the limits.  Simply stated, extra food is not worth it.…[Read more]

Dr Lewis told me last night to be perfect today as Day 3 is really important. I was perfect. 2 bars baby.

The call last night was priceless! So many of Dr LEwis is pearls of wisdom are going through my head today. I know I’ve already said it in a prior post but I am reminded of the importance of keeping portions small regardless of what kind of f…[Read more]

I think reading this forum daily will help. I too have struggled but recommitting to tomorrow. Day one is always super easy, and then day 2 until evening time. I can’t do “proper meals” initially because I don’t trust myself around them so the bars are the best way for me. If you drink black coffee, it will be your best friend, unfortu…[Read more]

I will too. We don’t have to have the cameras on do we?

Being skinny is amazing. I was doing well then went to visit a friend who had cooked for me and though I could have said no, the temptation proved too great. I think I’ll avoid such situations until I’m a week or so in.

Thanks @gspeech! You’re right, everyone is a little different and need different rules at different times to keep themselves on track. I keep finding that when I start to get on track I’m inclined to find more ways in addition to what I’m already doing in order to make the momentum unstoppable.

Second meal today went well. Some tidbits about the…[Read more]

I also had difficulty getting on. Dr. Lewis said it was an issue on his end. I think that he meets us right after his work day so sometimes he is not ready to go exactly at 6pm PST (9pm EST).

Love reading your posts Chloe! You are doing amazingly well. Your process is so thoughtful and dutiful. Completely respect your dedication. It really is all about how things speak to us and work for us.

So today is technically day 4 being back on from my latest overeating day. On saturday I fasted entirely and that was such a huge mental reset, On sunday I only had one 5 bite meal. And yesterday I did 2 5bite meals perfectly. I ritualized this morning’s meal and reminded myself why I’m doing this, weighed myself, another 1.5 lbs down. And coffee…[Read more]

I’ll join Next Monday!  Thank you

Sounds like you’re set! Sucks I missed the call, having technical difficulties for some reason. I like that you added “Better relationships and more time to connect with friends” that’s an interesting side benefit.

Happy Tuesday! Great call with Dr Lewis. I was pumped before the call and now I am hyper focused. Woke up to a nice weight loss. Going to hit this hard for 12 days before vacation. Dr Lewis thinks I will get close to my goal. For me it’s about gets as close to my low goal as I can before my birthday (nov 20) and holiday season.

I feel like I…[Read more]

Tomorrow will be my first day back! I’ve had a really hard time with 5 bites but I know this works! Cheers to knew beginning!
