Activity

Good day today! My distraction plans worked. I nearly finished a whole puzzle today! LOL    Just need to get those diet sodas down to zero.

Breakfast – Coffee, vitamins

Lunch – Snickers bar

Dinner – 5 bites vegan Mexican casserole

Wine – None 

Diet Soda – 1

I love it all.  Great game plan.  Now comes the tricky part: executing it.  But you can do it!!  

Today is my weight tracking day.  Only 2 pounds down. 

But…as Dr. Lewis says above, I know where my trouble spots are now:  coffee creamer, wine, diet soda, large bites, and occasional slips on extra bites.  I think that I am also too susceptible to temptation at social gatherings.

For these next few weeks, I am going to more deta…[Read more]

Cheese happens…LOL. 😉 Sounds like you did pretty well!

I forgot to tell you…I hadn’t lost much weight going vegan/WFPB either. Felt amazing eating healthy, but depressed with the extra weight. I even tried the potato cleanse for a few weeks that you have talked about.

Your meal tonight sounds amazing, especially compared to eating plain…[Read more]

Day 41

Lunch: grilled mozerella sandwich and a chai tea

Dinner: cactus taco and “crusted” avo taco 2 and 3 bites

I feel like i was majorly on track but i ordered a plain chai tea from starbucks and didnt quite get what i ordered. Like i think it was a chai tea latte. The barista messed up and it might add a little. A small mistake but…[Read more]

Yes!!!  I am starting to approach this more day-by-day. My focus is now on getting through the current  day being perfect. Rather than thinking about how long I have to keep being perfect at it. Each day I am successful I get to feel fantastic, which then gives me a feeling to recall the next day I am struggling. This seems to make it more m…[Read more]

OK.  The whole journey is a learning process.  You will figure out what works for you and what doesn’t work for you.  So bad weeks are important too–to point out what you shouldn’t be doing.

While the long-term benefits of being thin are spectacular, you don’t have to wait until you cross the finish line to already reap benefits.  EVERY TIME you…[Read more]

Thanks!!!!  I am going to try some of these ideas out. Especially in the evening when I am tired, emotionally drained and feeling weak minded. My numbers for weight loss haven’t been great so far this week, and I know I am capable of doing so much better.

Thanks!  I like those thoughts!  

Day 40

08/23/18

Breakfast: walnut apple strudel

Lunch: subway sandwhich 4 bites of kid sized, 1 bite of cookie

I also got into chewing a lot of gum today and I think that’s a little weird because I had ALOT of it. I think it is probably mostly harmless but can lead to fixation on food and flavor. It’s an unhelpful distraction I think. So no…[Read more]

It really is worth it yes, I would love to be able to do at least 2 perfect weeks I think it would make everything so much easier, and I think it would get me to my goal, and then I can finally get to practice maintenance again 

Yes!

As far as guided meditations, you can use an app called “Insight timer” and looke for the guided meditations by Shinzen Young. Also if you have an iphone I think he has a direct app called Brightmind. Basically any meditation will help because it redirects one’s focus towards some meditation object.

Specifically with food and achieving your…[Read more]

@spiderchlome – do have any favorite guided meditations that have been helpful in this journey?  I have a few go-to meditations that I do regularly.  But I would like something more specific to weight loss, or achieving goals.

Lunch – Snickers bar
Dinner – Rice and Avocado sushi roll (5 bites)

Great.

The next time you try and five bite a regular meal, remind yourself how AMAZING you are going to feel when you wake up the next morning.  It feels AWESOME!!  

I agree.  Media changes the perception of what normal weight is by focusing on an altered perspective.

Brilliant!!  I love that, Pia!  What you did is EVERYTHING!  That’s it.  You’ll be at your goal in no time.  Even though you are hungry now, just focus on how amazing you are going to feel when you wake up tomorrow.  It makes dealing with the hunger well worth it!

Great job!  

Yay, well done 👍

Yay! I’m down 2.5lbs today
