This is a great post Sharon! I love that. Put the hunger in a cage. Mine was a hungry lion! Made it through

Thank you Girls,

Day 3/30 – Weight 137

I had a great day yesterday, completed the organisation of our spare room for my brother and Auntie visiting in three weeks.  Slept well and awoke to another pound down on the scale which was great.  I do feel hunger though so I immediatly started my day with a black coffee.  I am going to be very strong to…[Read more]

Fantastic Katie.  You are running strong and mindset is strong too.  Excellent start and finish to a wonderful week one.  So so so so so so so so excited for you.  wishing you a wonderful Sunday today,  stay strong and commited as you are and tomorrow ….well.,,,,,, you are going to feel like a million bucks.  

Well done Georgia, for pulling through yesterday. Yes for sure , i find weekends more challenging, especially if I am in the house.  I have to do a list of things to do as I procrastinate and it can put me into panic mode as I want to always go to the kitchen when my mind wanders.  Our house is open plan downstairs, so the kitchen is full there a…[Read more]

you can do it Pia, it is just emotional hunger, the three day hungerstat will be set soon, today is day one and let this be a glorious day one.  I love lemon meringue pie being from England, and I make it too, not for a long time though now.  Keep busy and try and do some gentle exercise like walking or swimming or yoga stretching .  There is a gr…[Read more]

Reset for me, too many slip ups lately.

I have decided yet again to go back to posting daily for at least the next 5-6 days for accountability and to get properly into the groove. I am really struggling today have a headache and feeling tired, dizzy and shaky, but I’m trying to just take it easy and not give in to using it as an excuse for t…[Read more]

The weekends are only challenging in that you don’t have work to distract you and take your mind off of food.  At home, food is always just 20 feet away, and without distractions we find ourselves always migrating toward the kitchen.  BUT, you don’t have the responsibilities that you may during the work week, so I view it as an opportunity to r…[Read more]

Wonderful perspective, Gayle!   I totally agree with you!!  

Not that you don’t want to go through another holiday season over-stretching your clothes, but rather that you want to go through these holidays SKINNY.  Right?   You are doing this because you want to be thin, not because you don’t like the fat, right?

Agreed.  Keep practicing and working at it.  You develop will power … it isn’t just innate.

nice job

Ditto to what Pia said! Willpower is really about practice. Never giving up and trying to do a little bit better – helps.

Hang in Georgia! What great results!! Sometimes we have to do the best in the moment and you certainly did.

Love Dr. Lewis’s reminder of what real sacrifice is! Reality check to me.

So sweet of you Sharon! You are a precious gem yourself

Hi Binedp6, It’s hard to break old habits I have similar battles, when I’m tired, sad, happy, relaxing, bored those are all excuses for me wanting to eat and sometimes eating is the only thing on my mind and it’s so hard to resist even though I might not even be hungry, but I think the more we practice the more it becomes second nature, so let’s…[Read more]

Thank you so much Gayle for this post, that is spot on, Really what I needed to hear, everyday I have people around me feeling bad about their weight and it looks as if it would be easier for them to be fat if I and everybody else could be fat too, and I just as you said start becoming complacent and doubtful of whether I really want this or not,…[Read more]

Thank you so much Gayle for your writing , you are such a sparkly diamond which shines so brightly and strongly which even when bumped, does not crack.

I launched my day two today by stepping on  the scale like I promised myself.

So ….

Day 2/30 – Weight 138 

I am down two pounds in one day which I am happy about , but more so because I was o…[Read more]
