I’m doing bars x2 as well!! Had my 2 already today.

Here we go!

Thank you Katie!

We are excited to see the transformation. Today is hubby’s 3rd day. The weakness is hitting him he said. I told him to stick to it, and we will get it through this hurdle.

Doing just bars is great!  I am going back on them for this week. Can’t beat them to keep your  hungerstat consistent.

Susan,

That is so awesome! When I say that I am “5 biting”, people look at me like I am crazy. Then we we got our Snickers bars today, people were looking at us like we were crazy again. But whatever. I know it works, and I am not going to let that stop me.

We are doing bars for a while, because we know that with normal food we can’t just…[Read more]

Way to go Susan!!! I’m proud of you 

I did it. Had 5 bites of that donut. And tossed it. Felt good!! 

My husband is my main supporter and recently upgraded to an accountability partner.  I wish I could be with him 24/7!!

Actually, Most people close to me  support me. They saw me lose 110 pounds doing this and so they really don’t question it. They saw that as I lost the weight I became healthier and happier, and they support that.

For the mos…[Read more]

Oh I am going back for that donut. 

Oh, and we ONLY did Snickers today. We are trying to reset our hungerstats.

This is great! I’ve screenshot it so I can read it everyday. Thank you Dr!

YES!!  Part of this program involves learning and training.  I want everyone to learn what it feels like to be hungry at times, and that the world isn’t following apart.  Secondly, I want people to learn–and become comfortable with–throwing food away.  This latter part is critical.  And the best way to learn is to practice.  So whenever you c…[Read more]

I love that quote from Lysa Terkeurst’s book!! 

Brenda,

I have tried and failed and tried and failed on this diet because of every single one of those “What the heck” moments. The always “I will start again tomorrow”–so, let’s continue to self-sabotage and get all the food in, because tomorrow starts this journey of hell. Well, that is what got me every time. This journey isn’t hell. It is…[Read more]

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]
