Welcome Gilligirl!  I love those ideas!  We are going to have fun with this!!  

Ari – I feel that you don’t fully understand the significance of this project that you’ve started for yourself.   This is a massive undertaking that will change your life in unspeakable ways.  You will benefit in too many ways to count.

Your mother’s fear…[Read more]

Was just reading through another members thread to catch up with their journey, and I saw one thing discussed was using old pictures of oneself skinny to motivate themselves to lose weight

I think back. Obviously I was lighter through early childhood, (I don’t know if I was relatively lighter but yeah). But as far as like, life I actually r…[Read more]

I respect your decision to stay here even with the new knowledge of your health issue. It looks like you’ve done really well overall!!

I fell way off the wagon last week. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and spent 5 days comforting myself with food   

I haven’t told anyone and don’t plan to until after the wedding. I’m back up to 150lbs as of this morning. My plan is to fast for the next 2 days have 5 bite lunch on Thursday then fast again until the rehearsa…[Read more]

Susan- Mom has dealt with patients with disordered eating issues before, and from the way she’s reacted to me attempting to skip meals or anything of the sort in the past, shell jump on me for it. From her perspective she’d rather me be somewhat less healthy than actively-hospitalized-level-sick, and it would be difficult to convince her Dr. Lew…[Read more]

Hi Ari! I am new around here, I just wanted to say hello and give some encouragement! You have got this! It is awesome that you are coming here and checking in – I love hearing your updates. It sounds like you need to come up with some more coping skills for stress! Something I have found helpful in the past was to make a little list of things…[Read more]

Loving this thread! Thank you for putting this together!

“Let’s hurry up and get to the finish line where you can eat with zero regrets. Food taste so much better then!”  – Dr. Lewis

You are doing great by coming here every day and so this program stays in the center and fore  front of your mind. You are obviously putting a lot of thought in to doing this.

why is it that you need to hide from your mom that you are trying to be healthy and live longer?  Your mom obviously loves you. Doesn’t she want health and long life for…[Read more]

Yesterday’s weight: 348.4

Today’s weight: 349.4

Not much left to do but fix it

Trying not to be discouraged. I’ve done badly so far. But with Tuesday coming, my “eat with mom” days are basically over. I was hoping to set my hungerstat Fri-Mon, but I knew that would be hard as Sat-Mon are literally my days I’m most likely to Treat Myself. Emotional reliance on food is bad, but it’s heavy on those days. Tue-Fri aren’t da…[Read more]

Great.  Good luck!

Good point, Dr. Lewis! Finding ways to eat away from my parents will have to be a priority throughout this!!

Yesterday I once again had pinwheels for lunch, but for dinner had about what I’d normally have for pizza. I didnt have sweets or otherwise treat it as a free day for this, but at my hunger stat, my pizza “serving” has gotten pretty heavy…[Read more]

That’s so awesome! I don’t typically celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but that still really obviously takes a lot of willpower! You’re doing great 💚

Happy Cinco De Mayo!  🇲🇽

I Had 5  bite sized  tortilla “scoops” filled with beef and bean burrito filling and topped each one with a little salsa,  cheese and sour cream. Perfect! 👌

Thats it for the day!!

This Might be the first Cinco De Mayo I have had in my adult life with no Margaritas!! But that’s ok! Worth it! 👍…[Read more]

Right Ari!  Congrats on getting off on a good start.  An occasional Coke Zero is fine, but don’t overdo them.  Still, I rather that than extra bites of food.

Right–get rid of all the candy in your house.  Unless, of course, they are for meals.  There will be plenty of opportunities to snack when you are finished with this race.

I strongly reco…[Read more]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, Susan!!  

Thank you!  😅 yes, I’m trying not to let myself get too discouraged.  Things could have gone a lot worse yesterday, and compared to how I’ve been eating for so long, I still think I’m doing well!  Just got to go from doing well to perfect. Gotta show how much I want it! 

also, I forgot to mention- I’ve told my parents I’m dieting…[Read more]

Great learning experience!

I would just not buy the sweets or the creamer. You can always have them when you’re done! Get rid of any temptations you have. This is too important!
