Activity

All good doc, it happens!

Right.  As you all know, I’m not a fan of exercise until you are done.  Light exercise may be OK, though.  Even people in the blue zones (where people around the world live the longest and healthiest) only exercise naturally, but they don’t exercise just to exercise.  (By naturally I mean they walk to get from one place to another for social eve…[Read more]

I’ll be honest, Chloe.  I can’t find it–I may not have recorded it.  Sorry.  But I did delete the duplicate.

Wow.  Your insights are so good and powerful, Chloe!  I think you are right on!  Thank you!  Your contribution here is invaluable!  

I’ll second what Lynda says: You DO look better!  Keep up the great work!  

Good recognition.  If we sit around food too long (like after we are done eating), we pick.  Why?  Just ’cause!  And it’s such mindless eating–it serves absolutely no purpose except to occupy time.  So, get the food away, or get away from the food, and engage in any other distraction.  Your life is worth it!

EXACTLY RIGHT, Gayle!  You have the rest of your (now longer and much better) life to eat!  AND … the food will taste better to boot!   

Allan — I completely agree with Chloe and NeedingThis.  They have given you really good advice.  But the bottom line is that this program is all about you.  Do YOU truly want to be thin?  Then just do it.  Bring your wife on board if SHE wants, but don’t let her words or her actions distract you.  Let the food spoil!  It’s just food!  What…[Read more]

I watched the last chat Gayle & Chloe
Let’s KEEP GOING!!!

I had to recognize my husband was just a little upset because he lost his food buddy. Once I realized the out and out sabotage- The war to win- skinny was on in my head. AllenRGV ( you deserve this we ALL do) the fear is false evidence appearing real. Fear will paralyze you! You have nothing to lose but the weight and you will want to kick…[Read more]

Keep it going! 

Good on you for taking the time to really figure out your stumbling blocks. I have some suggestions, but do what you do:

1. Excess food is the problem and it is sitting there in the pantry waiting to jump onto your body. Better in the trash than on your body. Other things will eat the food, you don’t need to, you’ve already done that, you’ve been…[Read more]

It’s so nice to not be bombarded by food in your own home. Every other public or private space is already doing that. It’s worth being a bit fanatical about for the time being imo. Just get rid of it!

Thank you Lynda! that feels nice to hear. The biggest difference I notice is how my clothes feel all baggy now lol

I read “race day” again in WWA whenever my motivation starts to wane. Even if I feel like I am on track, I reread it.   Knowing cognitvely what you’re supposed to do, why you’re supposed to do it, etc. is one thing. Knowing it intuitively and deeply within the subconscious is an entirely different thing. If only the conscious mind knows what it i…[Read more]

Yes Allen but if you can just get one day each day gets better and better before you know it you’ll be down 20 lbs wondering how it went by so fast you got this 

Some good thoughts and tips here. I just posted about my own stumbling blocks. It’s interesting how we can sabotage ourselves in so many ways.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate it!

@spiderchome yes, read it several times. Always makes me want to try 5 Bites again lol

Well, I didn’t even make it through the first day. I ate a ton of food that evening and haven’t tried 5 Bites again since. It’s weird to me that I succumb to eating so much when I have successfully…[Read more]

Those are great examples and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing this technique with us, I’m going to try it.
