Yes. I do need to practice throwing food away. I saw a donut that I wanted today but didn’t buy it because it was more than 5 bites.

I think I will get something like that and take 5 bites and pitch the rest. 

Right.  And metabolic disease will befall us ALL if we don’t take care of ourselves.  Yes, genetics make you more likely to come down with some aspects of the metabolic syndrome over others, but metabolic disease shortens EVERY SINGLE PERSON’S lifespan.

Your first big step in stopping the extra-bite slip-ups is RECOGNITION.  You have just done th…[Read more]

One thing I have noticed is that the extra bites at the moment are taken almost mindlessly.  It flashes through my mind briefly that I should not eat it and then I eat it anyway. And then immediately feel remorse. And regret. And that lasts the entire rest of the day and into the next several day.s. And then I have a week like this week where I…[Read more]

It has been the strangest thing when I have the extra bites. when I was listen  to chat and read your post I agree 100% with everything you say and I pray for strength and then sometimes when the food is in front of me for some reason everything goes out the window. Not always, but sometimes. Example, yesterday I had a perfect day (which is…[Read more]

OK.  Fine.   So you took extra bites: so you had EXTRA bites of pork roast and veggies?  Remember, you had already tasted them, so what, other than entertainment, did you glean from the extra bites?  Will you remember their flavor tomorrow?  Impossible.  You may have also taken the extra bites because of hunger, but this is why it is so criti…[Read more]

You are right, Rebekah!  40 mg–a little less than half a cup of coffee.  So if you don’t like coffee, chew 2-3x/day!  

I guess the mg doses vary: I thought they had 180 mg, the equivalent of almost 2 cups of coffee.  I’ll have to look into this more.

Perfect Day!! 

I also hate eating at home bc seem to mess it up this last week. Even today.  Good at lunch, bar for dinner but then I couldn’t not have Chilean sea bass that I bought for the family.  But maybe still not a terrible day, just not a good one.  Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Up 5 lbs since last sun. 121 today. Goal is 113

I’ll have to remember to look for it.

That’s great advice Susan! Walking helps me so much too. Just running away from the food and temptations help me. I hate this cold spell we’ve had that’s put me inside for three days! I’ll be glad to see spring. I’m thinking about joining a gym (yuck) just for a warm place to get away and walk. I’m not going to do any aerobic exercises since they…[Read more]

It’s good. It’s mint gum, doesn’t taste bad. Supposed to have the equivalent to 1/2 cup of coffee in each piece. It’s a good little pick me up when I don’t want to brew a pot or go get coffee.

How is it?? I keep forgetting to look for it.

Not sure if it would help you to label your bars with the day and time you are to eat them. This has helped me in the past and so I started doing this again today.

Also, I think of WOOP 🙌

W is for Wish . I wish to lose 57 pounds.

O is for Outcome. My outcome is a picture of a body that is my height and my goal weight.

O is for Obstacle. We all…[Read more]

I’m not sure what that stomache ache was. The potato chips were spicy buffalo flavored.  🔥

I upgraded my husband from “loving supporter” to “accountability partner”. Lol. We have today and tomorrow off together and he is going to help me stay on track. I labeled my bars with date and time to be eaten and will have nothing else to eat.
