Yay, Less … !  Awesome!  Did you stick to it?  How are things for you going today?

Thanks for the story, Becca!  And great job on your first day!

Was it your ex-husband or new husband that said you can’t five bite tomorrow?  Why did he say that?  Do YOU think you can stick to the program tomorrow (today)?  Are you set on proving him wrong!  

I love that too, Rachel!  The key is to remember, in the moment, how you will feel tomorrow.  You will ALWAYS feels so much better if you can stick to your plan tonight.  Great job!!

And Welcome Becca!  Let’s have some fun!  

I love that! I find having to cook for my son so tough on a diet, especially when I’ve made a bad habit out of tasting things while I cook. 😬 Great idea making a simple dinner without all the tempting smells!

I don’t see a link for the last chat ? Welcome back Rachel

Day 2 – Went sailing with family and friends. Whew! The devil was on me today, but I stayed strong, lol. 😅 Started my day with a large, homemade black coffee with a few pumps of NSA Chocolate syrup added. Lunch was three bites of spinach stuffed pastry and two bites of a sweet walnut roll. Dinner was a chocolate fudge think! bar and a diet…[Read more]

Thanks, Controlit. I appreciate the warm welcome.

I’m betting $500 on my wager, which I’m paying in monthly installments. That makes sense about the Healthy Wage rules. It’s CYA legalese to prevent people gaming the system and to reduce their liability should anyone take drastic measures to win their bet. Fortunately, they only require…[Read more]

Bar Challenge Day 5 of 49

I did it! I had a moment this evening though, where I was thinking of what I was going to make my son for dinner, and almost ordered take out for us both. I was tired, hungry and mentally fatigued. I think what saved me was pausing to think about how I would feel the next day.  And decided it wasn’t worth it. I…[Read more]

I was reading up on Healthy Wager.    It looks fun.  But some weight loss groups consider Dr Lewis 5 bite diet unhealthy because they think loosing it fast isn’t good. I saw this in the small print.  I wonder if they will deny paying because of that?

Hi Seebeccarun!  Welcome to the best motivational forum you can find.   I’m intrerested in the Healthy Wager thing.  That sounds like fun.  $2K?  Did you have to bet a lot?     You can do this.   Read their quotes from dr Lewis.  They are helpful.  I carry an index card with me now everyday with his quotes.

I was just watching the news about that hurricane. It’s probably for the best that you’re leaving town. :/ Good luck on your trip. You’ve been doing an amazing job keeping your will power high despite all the activities and emotional setbacks. You got this!

I love that, LessIsMore! I’ll keep that in mind too when my stomach starts talking to me. Lol

Nice! 

I think today is gonna be a rough and long one. It is 4:30 am. I can’t get back to sleep. My stomach is rumbling and the hunger level is high.   

If I can get through another bars only day today, it might be my turning point towards success.  Challenge accepted.

That’s my next challenge. Challenge accepted 

Today, I had 2 Olly protein cookies for lunch, which are 1.6 oz each. Then, for dinner I had 2 half-shell clams and 2 fried Mahi bites.

Yay for 3 day weekends! I have been sticking to my bars. Holding off on weighing myself again until Monday morning. Excited to see the numbers! Fingers crossed 🤞 for 159. That time of month hit, so a little nervous – I retain like crazy.

Loving this freedom of not planning meals right now. Allows me extra time for yoga, podcasts and learning…

This 3-day weekend is another trial.  Most people barbecue and attend a family/friend gathering of some sort.  So, can you be perfect despite it all?  Why not!!!  After all, there will be another Labor Day next year that you can indulge in.  This time, it’ll be far more fun (and challenging and exciting and hard) to stick to just a bar twice a da…[Read more]

Great!  Tomorrow is the true test.  Can you be perfect on day #2?
