Activity

Well today looked like this: breakfast was coffee with a tablespoon of nut pods “creamer” lunch was a snickers bar and dinner was 5B of a chicken Tex mex burrito. I did have three mini cans of Diet Coke.  Overall today went great. I made a big list of things to do instead of eating. It helped a lot!

Good luck!! You got this!!

I love picking out these golden nuggets from the chats! Glad you are enjoying them and finding them useful!

Today, with my mother back at work, predictably I stayed focused easily.

Hi Marie!

I am sorry about the diagnosis, but it should be somewhat comforting to know that this is a very curable disease.

But once again: the #1 risk factor for cancer is excess weight on the body.  Losing weight also helps dramatically in the treatment of all cancer.  So now, more than ever, following through on your commitment to get s…[Read more]

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.

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 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]

“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]
