Activity

Welcome, Katie!  I’m so thrilled that you’re here.  Let’s do this!  Will you please fill out the weight tracking info so I can personally work with you through  to the finish line?  

I understand.  

Back to perfection today! Trying to up my water intake as well.

Breakfast – Coffee/vitamins

Lunch – 3 bites snickers, 2 bites of banana

Dinner – 5 Bites of an Avocado/Hummus Wrap

Wine – None 

I really would love that, but my cycle has hit me and I always seem to gain 2-3 kg around and during that time, this time I haven’t but I haven’t lost either, I can’t control hormonal changes or water retention or whatever, what I can control is how many bites enter my mouth, so I just have to stick to the program, and then wait for it to happen

Right.  So learn from this experience and be stronger next time.  If that doesn’t work, try again.  Eventually you will be strong enough to stick to your guns when you make a decision, and from that point on your entire life falls under your–and ONLY your–control.

Day 47

Lunch and dinner was all 5 bites of dried figs.

Started getting some of that familiar orthostatic hypotension while i was at work. Also wobbliness when walking started happening. Decided to eat more. I think i want to shift back over to a previous plan of 3 meals of 10 bites just to make it more sustainable for my active work…[Read more]

I messed up today, and caved to temptation. Ate about 1/2cup of extra food with dinner (we had dinner out).

So mad! I didn’t need it. Wasn’t even that hungry.

Right.  Make today the last time you ever see 125.

You are sooo right Dr I really really want it, that’s why I’m still here still writing 

I am almost able to quote your book of by heart and I still read again and again but now it’s time to get serious because if not now then when? There will never be a better day there’s always something getting in the way, socializing, stresses of life,…[Read more]

Indeed. 

Isn’t hummus just the best? I also had some for dinner. Only a little bit though

Thanks doc, that is exactly what I needed to hear.

Day 46

Lunch: Vegan Apple Pie, with leftovers to throw away

Dinner: dried figs dipped in hummus

Keeping the bites very small, it’s just for taste. I have somehow magically been staying at a weight of 151.5 for the last 3 days and it kinda drives me nuts given that I am so…[Read more]

Ah, Chloe, but you are clever enough to recognize you own self-sabotaging thoughts of premature success.  You recognize that those thoughts are TRYING to disrupt your progress (Goodness!  It seems like the whole world is against us–trying to derail us in one way or another.  People, thoughts, things…this is a tough fight!  But stand strong, and…[Read more]

GREAT job, Rachel!  That’s perfect.  … and you’re off!  Flying through the starting gate.  You are way out in front of the pack.  To win the race, all you have to do is hang on to your lead.  You’ve got this.  Just keep placing one foot in front of the other, and count down the days.  This is AWESOME!!  

Pia–think about how much you really want to get skinny.  You really do!  Think about how much you’ve written here–documenting your ups and downs.  You’ve written a ton!  Don’t you just want to get all of this done … I mean, really done … once and for all?  No more talking about what you should do or what you intend to do.  Just do it.  DO N…[Read more]

Ok, I did end up eating 6-7 extra bites, which was stupid really, the extra food didn’t take away the problems I still need to deal with life whether I eat a lot or a little. I could go back in the kitchen and keep eating because I have already blown the day, but rationally that would be more stupid it would leave me bloated and guilty, so I d…[Read more]

When stresses of life hits me I just want to eat and eat and eat, right now it’s one of those moments where I just feel to say ‘sod the diet, it is not worth it’, right now I couldn’t care less about the diet but probably later on or tomorrow I will regret giving up, 😑 😭

Good morning ☀️, just had my breakfast: coffee and vitamin, I have a busy morning at work so no temptation to eat, but I am going to finish work early, at home is when it gets challenging because I might be tired and the kids might be tired too, but I just have to battle through because I really want to set my hunger stat to 2 bars per day or…[Read more]

Well done Rachel , it sounds delicious 😋
