Yes.  If a bar is truly 8 bites for you, then I would allow you to eat 8 bites, and EXACTLY 8 bites, at every meal.  But, a couple of things:

1. If your weight starts to stall, your bites are getting too big.  And when you are eating more than 5 bites, the difference in volume become magnified.

2. Our objective is to taste the food and to fi…[Read more]

Oops.  Stay strong.  If the hunger becomes intense and drives you toward the kitchen, remind yourself how uncomfortable the pain of stomach cancer is.  That should help to turn you around.

GREAT!  Welcome!  You WILL see the scale move down … a lot … without changing a thing that you eat.  But you do have to eat just 5 bites of it.  Your hunger will set quickly, and you’ll be on your way to exceptional living!  I can’t wait!  

Your math sounds right.  The trick is to stick to the program perfectly and see what you actually end up losing!  

169 this morning. Back in the 160s. I checked my weight loss over night to see how much I am breathing out and it looks like I am only losing about half a lb over the course of 8 hours. So that’s 1.5 lbs per day which is 10.5 lbs per week. That’s 42 lbs in 4 weeks. If I am eating 4 oz of food per day that’s 28 oz per week and 112 oz per month…[Read more]

Good morning Peeps! Slept in — 8am after many early wake-ups. Added bonus to have shed that water weight. My plan continues with the focus being TRUST in myself and the process.

129.6 new low for the year! Watch out world, A new super model is about to be on the scene!

Day 1 (again)

I was at 172 this morning.

I think not eating in the morning helps quite a lot with hunger issues. I did not feel very hungry today at all. Was even considering skipping dinner but thought better of it. I had plain coffee for breakfast and even though I have not been a coffee drinker for most of my life, I am starting to enjoy the…[Read more]

Awesome powering through yesterday!  You are almost through 3 days!  This is the big one!  Don’t alter the plan by even so much as a crumb.  I’m really cheering you on from my little office in Burbank!!  

Great!

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]
