This is great Dr. L! Thank you again. I will put this to use this coming weekend.

Right.  Emotional hunger is never satisfied with food–it is merely quieted for a few minutes.  So find some other way of handling that.  Physical hunger is controlled with exactly 5 bites once your hungerstat sets to that number.

Right.  It’s the first thread, highlighted in orange.

Right.  Remember most of EVERY pound lost on your scale is water.  60% of our bodies are water, and 60% of everything we lose is water, all the way through to the finish line.  But there is no reason that the pace you’ve set for yourself should change much.  Will it?  Yes a little, but not too much.  So, keep up the outstanding focus and just…[Read more]

Celebrate every pound!

I also was reminded today of the difference of emotional hunger and physical hunger. For emotional hunger it’s so important to actually figure out what I am hungry for and what do I need instead.

I love the idea of imagery. That is definitely helpful. it’s very interesting to hear that you will not be as hungry or less hungry when you are skinny. I didn’t realize the difference. Buckling down to get through the next couple days! Getting my hungerstat set.

Day 1 went well! Two pounds down. I know most of it is water weight but i’ll take it! Drinking my coffee now and have decided to do snickers for this first week.

Tammy.  It WILL work.  There is no other alternative.  BUT … you have to do it perfectly.  Then again … you CAN be perfect.  It will be tough and challenging at times, but it is absolutely doable.  Let me know when the struggles set in, and I will devise some techniques to help you get over those struggles.  

Welcome both of you to our great family!  

I like this.  I remind patients all the time that they have plenty of salad, vegetables, and fruits already stored in the body, and their is no point in putting more in.  I also have them practice some imagery: Envision yourself sitting down and consuming all kinds of food that you would like to eat.  Smell how fresh the food is.  Notice how coo…[Read more]

Thanks Tammy. That is super helpful. I love the idea of I have groceries on my body to eat that makes a huge difference. It definitely is the thought  piece I need to practice to change!

After 2 weeks away dealing with health issues and getting my mind right I’m back and committed to this 100%. I’ve got a Christmas trip in 68 days and I want to be at between 139-135lbs by then (I will go lower after but this is the my first huge goal I want to get to). My current weight is still 188-190 (it’s fluctuating right now due to TOM). I…[Read more]

well welcome to you as well!

Why not leave the home on the weekends?  Go to the mall!  Take your son to the park!  But it does help to not have ready-to-eat food around.  But because it has to be (for him), get away from the house.

I have put together a talk on delaying gratification [and avoiding snacking].  The core points are these:
