Great.  Now that’s it’s down on paper (or etched in bytes), follow through on your plan.  Trust me: you will feel AMAZING!!!

I love it, Chloe!  

I understand, but a big part of me wants to stress the point: NO EXCUSES.  I know your issues seem to be really “important” and “life-altering,” but time will pass, and you will realize that food in no way altered the course or your issues.  Find a way to deal with the issues without eating.  Again, if you truly want to be thin, then make an un…[Read more]

Thank you Gayle! Yes that hit me hard when Laura said she was inspired by reading my journal whilst I was in the midst of being off the diet entirely. I think I am certainly motivated to not let other people down no matter how small the commitment. Anyways I got through last night pretty easily with some miso soup and a diet soda. When I remind…[Read more]

Well I managed to avoid all candy in the office, stores and at home. BUT – I had too many bites. I was celebrating with my son and his girlfriend on his FIRST JOB!! It was beyond exciting. I managed to avoid eating out at a restaurant and brought food home. I avoided all their goodies (including ice cream, and superbly decadent and addictive…[Read more]

Day 1/7

EEk! Too many bites last night. Not enough to gain “real” weight, but salt and volume showed up. Lesson learned. Excited for this challenge to encourage me to stay on track.

I just went on my phone and entered slimming station – clicked on this post and pressed the picture icon (last icon above or the one furthest from right) – it has a…[Read more]

I’m in too! But I can’t seem to post a picture from my phone. I don’t know why. I’ll keep trying!
241 pounds today.

130.4 lbs today. New low. Found a way to take the photo, now can’t figure out how to post it.

  Hi ladies and Dr Lewis

I’d like to join, but could someone explain how to get a scale pic without holding the phone? Excited to be skinny with you all! Watching all your chats Dr Lewis… and Gayle. Learning a lot. Super happy to find this place.  

We all fall but we get right back up!! You are doing so well. Cheering you on!!! You are such an inspirational person for others. Tap into that today. You have all you need for CONTINUED success!!

Dr Lewis, Could you clarify please for me… a bar is more than 5 bites for me, like 8 or 9 maybe.  So should food look the same in size, as a bar? Weigh the same as a bar? Or have the same number of bites as a bar? I want to stay normal in my head by continuing to eat some food daily, rather than be afraid of it bc I don’t know how to lose we…[Read more]

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. I fell off the rails after 4 days this time.  I gave in to candy at work and I went straight back to some of my recent patterns. I’m trying not to beat myself up. It took a lot just to drag myself back over to the forums here to admit my failures. I was just going to disappear and try something else but…[Read more]

Great work, Gayle!  Don’t let off the gas pedal.  Let’s finish this project once and for all!!  

Great, Brenda.  Post here (your journal) daily.  Stay focused.  Let us know what your temptations are and how you are dealing with them.  I will do everything I can to help you intervene and defeat those cravings.  The key, of course, is setting your hugerstat, and bars are a great way to do that.  So go for it!  Don’t alter a thing, and your l…[Read more]

Go for it!  Let’s see what happens!

Right.  And recognizing that between 1-4 is your trying time frame defines your objective and gives you a goal.  You ARE going to be hungry during that window, but you are anticipating it, and you are going to attack it with water and distractions.  All you have to do is stay strong and focused for those 3 hours, then you are off to the races!
