So sorry to hear that Danicaj, please hang in there I will get back to writing some later, I’m of to work, but please today we do just 5 bites for lunch and 5 bites for dinner yesterday is in the past and today is a new day a new opportunity to be just perfect, let’s do it 

Ah, but you must practice and perfect the art of throwing food away.  This is SO IMPORTANT!!

I think you are absolutely right throwing food away feels almost impossible, even having food in the house is hard, if it wasn’t for my hungry family I would just get rid of all the food and then go get one snickers every time meal time comes up.

ABSOLUTELY right!  You HAVE to learn how to five-bite with regular food.  Granted, when you are done you will be eating a lot more than five bites, but you MUST be comfortable with throwing food away.  So comfortable, in fact, that you throw it away without even realizing it.  That’s a big part of what you learn here.

Hi Tao!  Welcome!  I sent you a welcome message–did you get it?

There is no “probation” period.  Post away!  I’m sorry your post didn’t save, but try again.

The majority of every pound you lose is water, but you lost at least 3 pounds of pure fat yesterday.  Great job!  The key is to maintain this EXACT focus all the way through to the finis…[Read more]

Day 0: 288.5  Day 1: 282.7

Lunch and dinner done, it wasn’t as perfect as I would have liked it to be but now I have to focus on “now” and I found this sentence in an old post and it really encouraged me to not finish all the food in the house.

It says;

“I tend to be an all-or-nothing thinker, so it’s important to remind myself that I can make the right choice for the m…[Read more]

I would say 7 days from day one, Dr Lewis encourage us to only weigh once a week, but some of us can’t help ourselves and weigh daily because we just get excited about seeing the weight fall of.

SECOND Newbie question:

(I just answered the first by posting to someone else’s thread.  I obviously messed up somehow on the first one)

Anyway,  I just updated my weight in the tracker and it reset my beginning weight showing pounds lost as ZERO.

Is this really a once a week tracker?  I mean this diet can actually change your one’s numbers Da…[Read more]

So inspiring!

Hi Beth.  Thanks for the welcome.

Newbie question:

I wrote a response to someone’s thread here in the community and hit “Submit” and it disappeared.  Am I under a probationary period where I can only submit to my own thread?

Thanks Catherine, great encouragement, I think the problem is sometimes that people keep telling me that I’m skinny and then When I see something tempting I somehow might feel that I can have that extra bite because I’m already slim, which is so stupid because what I really want is get to that body with a BMI of 18.5, so why would I delay it I jus…[Read more]

That’s awesome Tao!!! You’re off to a great start  Welcome!! Glad to have you in our group!!  you’re going to do great!! 

Those are great tips Catherine! Just like you said Pia, focus on today and the rest will fall into place. Even if you do fall off… pick yourself back up again and continue on. In consistency lies the key. You’ve got this sweet friend! Keep on going we’re almost there!:yahoo:

Hi Pia, and Thanks!

And, Hey, I Know it’s just water, nut I just weighed in for day 2 and I’m down to 282.7 from yesterday’s 288.5.  That’s 5.8 lbs.!!

Pia, try deep breathing to slow down your mind when you want to eat.  Sounds “gitchy”, but I find that it can help bring me to my senses.  Also, try journaling–especially when you mess up!  I messed up on Wednesday, and I wrote about how awful I felt.  Bloated, disappointed, and truthfully, I couldn’t even concentrate at work, which shows how muc…[Read more]

Thanks Beth, I seem to struggle a bit with my motivation at the moment, I really want to eat but at the same time I do want to loose the last bit, I am almost there, if I could just be perfect for a week then I think I would be almost there, but let’s first focus on today, I’m stressing about today, because I always fall af Friday, but let me cha…[Read more]
