Your plan, Katie, is perfect.  But you WILL get there a lot sooner than 40 days.  But just focus on the next meal–the next bar.  Make it to 12.  Enjoy every bite of your bar.  Taste it.  Savor it.  Then throw the wrapper away, and find a way to pass time until 5:00.  Repeat.  If you get hungry in-between bars, remind yourself why you are on this…[Read more]

I have had a bad week this week, but determined to get back on track. Had a few family dramas. I have this horrible Uncle who is a con man and has taken $30,000 from my Auntie who has dementia. So there has been some stress eating, but I’ve organised for my cousin to go power of attorney so it doesn’t happen again. I think everyone has some…[Read more]

Didn’t sleep very well last night, and woke up hungry.  Going to power through this feeling until Noon, when I will have my first bar of the day.  About to hit the meditation pillow before I head to work.

Down 1.5 lbs today.  Current weight is 159. Goodbye to the 160’s!!!!

Good luck, and best wishes!

Another perfect day. Lunch was 1 luna bar. Dinner I had planned for another bar. But a coworker had bought me a special vegan chocolate cupcake from a beautiful local bakery. So I ate 2 bites of this for dinner. Threw the rest away. Those two bites were excuisite. Didn’t need a bite more. Hunger stat is kicking in!

Great.  Now, after the fact, is your life any less complete because you didn’t give in an eat?   NO!  In fact, it’s a WHOLE LOT BETTER ALREADY!      Keep up the great work!

Food is always tempting, but it’s enjoyment is SO SHORT LIVED.  Don’t give in!  So, practice distraction.  Stay away from food as much as you can.  Throw everything away.  Right now ALL of your attention should be on getting to the finish line, and only then can you  re-engage in life’s normal routines.

Thanks Dr Lewis! It totally paid off on the scale today too. Down 2 lbs since yesterday. Current weight is 160.5.  Just need another 6lbs by Sunday to hit my 10lb goal this week.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions, Chloe!  You are a superstar!!  

Yes!  That’s it, Katie!  How are you feeling?  

Absolutely beautiful, Rachel!  That is music to my ears1  Congratulations!!  

OMG. That had to be one of the most difficult things…but I did it!!! I didn’t eat one bite of food at bookclub dinner. They even tempted me with vegan french fries, which is normally my go-to snack at restaurants with non vegan items. I sat there sipping on my fake “rum” and diet coke. Talked about the book for about 2 hours, and cut out when…[Read more]

Bookclub meeting today.  Dang it!  They are meeting at a pub.  Going to stick to diet sodas to get me through the evening.  I am committed to eating bars only.  My excuse for not eating will be “sorry, the doctor has me on a strict diet for some personal issues right now”

Dr. Lewis…you are my excuse tonight.  LOL.  To hold me acc…[Read more]

I am moving on y’all, thanks for all the help. I will be losing my last 10-15 lbs really slowly with bite counting. I am so grateful for the help and support people have offered me. I will hopefully come back to visit once I am on the other side of my journey. Take care

Fantastic!  It sounds like you are out of the gates with a bang!  Focus all the time, Katie.  Focus on the hunger coming, and then recognize it when it goes.  When it’s there, focus on every aspect of the hunger that you can think of, from it’s size to it’s movement to it’s color.  Corner the hunger in from all sides with your mind.  All of the s…[Read more]

Great!  Then go all the way.  Have a multivitamin and coffee for breakfast, a Snickers bar for lunch, another one for dinner, and do it perfectly for 1 week.  Can you?
