My oh my thank you for the responses. They are filled with encouragement and the push to go. I am sorry for being absent for a few days I am dealing with ongoing migraines due to weather changes and I had a couple false starts and ate more than my allotted bites a few days. I have been ashamed and didn’t want to post the failures but then r…[Read more]

Right, Michelle!  You can enjoy everyday like no other just knowing where what your destination is.  It allows you to appreciate the good things in your life right now.  By losing the weight, you are going to perfect your health, and that’s everything, but every day that you get closer to that destination you are a little healthier and you look a…[Read more]

*Sigh*   I’m sorry for posting the same message three times, Gayle!   Technology hates me and I’m not so fond of it entirely either.

Thank you Dr.Lewis…I love your thoughts on the food experience…can’t get enough of it. These are the tidbits I write down for myself so that I can remember them.

Hi Shelly,

I’ve had a similar experience as a child, I understand where you are coming from. But you and I know the truth; these experiences shaped certain things in our lives but they had NOTHING to do with us. I know that, in my family, I broke (long) chains. I’m thinking you maybe did too and this is no small feat but something we should be…[Read more]

Thanks so much Gayle—your thoughts mean a lot. I am finding that I rather like the feeling of hunger better than feeling full…you’re right, I need to have a way to pause myself beforehand to remember these things.

Thank you again

Hi everyone!

My weight stands firm at 117 but it’s going to whoosh down soon!! This is my process.

Busy day today and tomorrow and then I will have time to play and relax. No indulging or eating off plan till well into low goal.

My next eating out engagement is not until Oct 14. Going to avoid eating out till then.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Great, Lynda.  Even if you need to add a splash of milk to your coffee and sit down, that’s FAR, FAR better than nibbling.  So do just that!  

I love it Lynda.  Yes–your skin should “loosen,” but will again firm up when you get to your goal and plateau.

Only thing, Katie–be a little careful of too many “diet” or “zero” calorie drinks.  Remember: ONLY water has 0 calories.

What I’ve noticed hovering at my current weight is all my skin has firmed up. So I’m looking forward to loose skin again in the next downhill push. I’m sticking to the bars so I dont stress about my bite size for a few days.

So its taken me a while to get me head in the game again. And I really need to focus after 3pm , take my 5 bites, then be done with it. I’m struggling a bit with my usual ice coffee. I prefer it with a dash of milk, so if I’m tempted to keep picking after 5pm, I’m going to make my iced coffee and sit down somewhere.

Fantastic post, Michele!

First, you are right.  Stay away from all other “advice” out there.  That “advice” is why America has gone from a 10% obesity rate to a 50% obesity rate in just 20 years!

I LOVE your insight.  When you compare the pain and misery of being hungry, feeling weak, and headaches to the much-longer-lasting pain that stems fr…[Read more]

So Shelly … Is it helping?  How are you doing?
