Activity

Back on track today. Had my coffee, a snickers for lunch and a Reese’s fast break for dinner. I had three small cans of Diet Coke which helped me avoid food. Today was tough but I managed to stay in control and watched some of Dr. Lewis’s videos. Trying to focus on the day to day.

Right.  The only meal that matters is the next one.  Focus on perfecting your next meal.  That is ALL you need to worry about at this time.  “Hmmm.  How am I going to eat my next meal in five perfect bites.”  That’s the game.  That’s everything.  

Once again:  If at first you don’t succeed (or at second, third, forth, etc.), TRY, TRY AGAIN!!!  

Okay, so I am going through the forums and found these little golden nuggets just waiting to be bumped back to the top of the list!!

**BUMPING post because this is good info.**

I think I just feel over confident and then I think eating that one meal at an event won’t do any harm. Then I make the excuse of I might as well enjoy it. Trying to stay positive and remember this feeling of regret. Thanks for the support!

How are you doing Ari?

“It feels good to eat, but it feels even better to do this diet perfectly and to run on small amounts of food and to feel even a little bit hungry. It jacks your endorphins to know that you’re doing it perfectly.”- Dr. Lewis

Slolady: Thank you so much! I am glad that my posts helped you stick to it! It is not easy at first but it gets easier! How is it going now? All you need to do is have one perfect 5 bite meal, and then one more, and another… You can do this!!

The rest of day 8: Okay, I decided to stick to bars today since I didn’t have a game…[Read more]

BK, don’t be too hard on yourself! What ended up making you eat more? Was it weighing in and seeing that number 158? Was it that your hungerstat not being fully set and you were hungry? Or something else? All we can do is learn from what happened and move forward with a plan on how to hopefully not do it that way again. You can do this!

I feel so embarrassed and like such a failure that I can’t make it one solid week on just bars. I am seriously my own worst enemy. I get down to 158 and never any lower because I start eating more. If I were to do the diet perfectly could I really lose about 30 pounds in a month? Starting over… again 

Thank you!! 

Great!

And Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!!!    

Great job, Gilli!

Yes, I will be at the chat tonight, but I don’t know if anyone else will show, SO:

I recommend that you transition to fast-food.  But be perfect.  Fast food doesn’t come wrapped up in a perfect 5-bite size.  So COUNT YOUR BITES.  Make sure each bite is the same size as one fifth of a Snickers bar.  Other than that, just enjo…[Read more]

Slolady: I am so glad I helped your mental willpower! YAY, you had your first perfect day! How is today going? What is your game plan? :D

Week 1 Weigh in: I lost 9 pounds!! NINE!! Down from 168.4 to 159.4! I almost can’t believe I am back into the 150’s, because I felt I had a set point there at exactly 160 – I was stuck there for some time on…[Read more]

I had a wonderful time at my sons house today for our Mother’s Day Brunch.

I had a meatball and half of a cookie 

I did drink a bunch of limoncello though. Which I think is loaded with carbon. 

But, I am done for the day! Just having water.

Back to just bars tomorrow!

Slolady: Thank you! How did your first day go??

Dr. Lewis: I am holding strong!! Weigh in day is Monday morning and I am getting so excited to see my first week results!

Day 6 went off with just one little hiccup – I went to buy some more of the Fast Break bars… and they were SOLD OUT!!! I panicked; But I quickly found a substitute that is…[Read more]

Great plan, Susan!!
