Thanks!!! This diet is very mental for me. Once I get my head right about it, it is so much easier. I didn’t realize how much I ate even when I wasn’t hungry. I was an emotional eater. Now, I eat my lunch alone and dinner alone before everyone else. It seems to be working. I enjoy being hungry because I know the scale will reflect some awesome…[Read more]

Awesome Danica!!!!

I feel the same way – I’m in control and I’m not “hangry” anymore and this is only the beginning of Day 5 for me! I also feel very calm now, whereas in the beginning, I was so scared of being hungry and felt extremely agitated and uneasy. I was counting down every minute until my next Snickers Bar. Now I feel totally relaxed…[Read more]

Yes it is!!  It is amazing how quickly you start feeling better.

Great work!  But just imagine how much fast you will be with another 20 pounds of dead weight off your body!!!

It’s a great, great feeling, isn’t it!  

Rachel76 – love your creativity ! I hope you win the $30!!! I’m sure you will. You got this girl !

Thanks Dr.Lewis! I can not wait to hit my goal!!! You truly are THE best ! I love your words of encouragement.  I notice you always use the expression “brilliant”. I love it – and right back at you -You are brilliant! Killed it at the gym today. Ran 4 miles at an 8 min/mile pace. Not too shabby. It was def a little bit easier after dropping the…[Read more]

BRILLIANT!!  Whew … when I read, ” … last night was a nightmare..” I assumed you had gained 3 pounds.  But NO!  You did great!

Here’s the thing: you could have eaten like everyone else, gained some weight, and it would have been like every other celebration you’ve ever attended.  But you ventured out and did something new: you resisted thi…[Read more]

Keep it going!  

Last night was a nightmare. At 5:30 pm, I ate my snickers bar BEFORE I left for the party . I knew if I did not eat the Snickers bars before I arrived, I would have no willpower against all the food – and I wanted my first week to be perfect with no regrets and to reset my hungerstat. And Lawd, knows I did not want anyone to see me at the party…[Read more]

Down 1lb again. Yesterday didn’t go “perfectly” but I did avoid a lot of temptation. Super proud of myself!!

Ate 1/2 a luna bar for lunch. Drank ONLY a small diet coke at the movie theaters around 3pm! Dinner was 7bites of a beyond meat hamburger, 1 bite of strawberries and 1 bite of grilled zucchini.

Good.  Good luck!!!  

Good luck, SK!  Probably the best thing is to tell them you just aren’t feeling well, so you’ll have a couple of bites, but that’s it.  They really won’t care or remember how much you eat in a few days.  In general, we assume our relatives are more concerned with how much we eat than they actually are.  

Yes, I have learned that everyone is on a need to know basis about this diet. I would never hear the end of people saying oh my gosh you’re starving yourself. Funny thing is a woman at work had gastric bypass and to me that is so much more dangerous because of the risk of surgery infection etc.

Keep up the great work! We are all going to r…[Read more]

Best of luck! Yeah tell them whatever you need to in order to prevent them from tempting you. Remember, you won’t miss the food you don’t eat!! You won’t regret NOT eating, but you WILL regret breaking your commitment to yourself!

Also, imagine Dr. Lewis standing in the corner watching you.  What would you eat in front of him?

Day 2 was successful. Ate my 2 snicker bars for lunch and dinner. And then black coffee, green tea, and LaCroix the rest of the day. I did have my morning cup of joe with a tbs of heavy cream – but that was my only vice.

Is it bad to drink LaCroix during the day? Should I only be drinking water and coffee? Hmmm – hope this does not impede my…[Read more]

Hmmm. Still just another 1lb loss. I am not certain it is that time of month, since I am on depo-provera, but I have some light spotting. Maybe that is the culprit? Either way, I am going to adjust a few things. Going to try black coffee without the almond milk or sweetener, and see how that goes. I know in advance that I am going to have a diet…[Read more]
