Activity

Great.  

You are so right it definitely is a mind game, but the more we play it the better we get at it, so let’s keep playing until we get to goal 

Best week ever!!! Today begins a new week. I’m getting it done!

It is definitely mind over matter sometimes. I did not realize how much I would just eat even when I was just bored or in a social situation. Stay focused. I struggle too. I caught myself a few times almost eating because I was emotional.  I just want to hurry up and be at my goal. I get mad at myself for getting out of control in the first…[Read more]

Thanks Danicaj, I just had my dinner it wasn’t perfect 3-4 bites of salmon with rice and beans and 3 bites of blueberry pie, I know it wasn’t perfect but I am still happy that I am practicing eating normal food instead of just bars, but now I just need to be perfect even when there is more food in front of me.

Way to go Pia. More of these meals in a row and you are there. I will have my first 5 bites at 12 central time (I’m inTexas).

Dr. Lewis – I really appreciate that. It’s been a thorn in my side/gut for years – and it feels great to overcome – and push past it. I know with time I’ll become a real pro at it.

Almost right back to where I was at the end of last week. Feeling absolutely great. Yesterday, zero temptations, not even a thought entered to…[Read more]

Lunch done, 3 bites of a croissant with cheese and 2 bites of chocolate 

I will start today Dr Lewis, when I wrote tomorrow it was already night time Now it’s 6.30 in the morning and I’m on my way to work, had my coffee and vitamins, and now preparing myself mentally for the day

Thanks Danicaj, I have flipped a switch and decided to be perfect at least for a week so I can get done with this and start pra…[Read more]

You inspire me Pia. I haven’t been perfect this past week. I went to see my son for his birthday (he’s away at college). I snuck in a few extra bites because I wasn’t paying attention. I wasn’t even hungry. I was at a restaurant talking and catching up. I was discouraged with myself but I think Dr. Lewis has the right answer. I will start again t…[Read more]

Woo, yep. That did it.

Mineral water, plain water, coffee and plain tea.

Great, but seriously:  why not start today?

Thank you so much, yes it would really be amazing if I could stick to 5bites, I want to practice being able to do 5bites with any kind of food (not just snickers) because I think that is what is going to help me when I want to maintain my weight loss. So tomorrow I am going to take up the challenge and keep myself focused even when the food smells…[Read more]

Good.  Sorry you are not feeling well, but it’s not because of the lack of food.  In fact, food will just make things worse overall.

Have an AMAZING day tomorrow, and it will be if you eat just five bites!!!  

Dinner: snickers

No more bites for the day.

Today I felt really ill, nauseous and diarrhea, I don’t know if it was because of the lack of food or just something else but I tried to tell myself that it was my body pulling from my fat stores and that food wouldn’t make me feel better anyway.

Tomorrow is a new day and I will probably feel gre…[Read more]

Congrats on identifying and successfully defeating “self-sabotage.”  The further along this path you go the more you will learn about your body and the control you mind has over it.  Awesome!  

Lunch today was a croissant with chicken and mayo, 6 bites oops 

Pia – that is very true. Getting through that 1 day again and things are already looking to get back on track. Glad to know I’m not the only one!

Danica – So true, it’s very mental. Wow, is it. However, the proof shows up much sooner than most, if not all, diets out there.
