Awesome, thanks Dr. Lewis. That’s good to know for the future. I stayed off my computer as much as I could due to the sickness, but I should’ve asked for advice in this case. Just lost focus, but I’m sure I’ll have a solid week now. Thanks again!

I’m sorry you were ill, Matt.  Good work with the 3 pounds despite your sickness.  BUT … and especially when you are sick … you don’t need to eat no matter how “weak” you feel.  At the time when you are most sick your sugars are actually high, and eating only makes them higher!  Eating does not make your “stronger” unless you are suffering fro…[Read more]

Great.  Great great!

Unfortunatley, I got pretty sick this weekend from a bug the kids had. It has not been pretty, still sick now, and my momentum is a bit ruined. I tried my best to focus on 5, but it was quite difficult and I had to listen to my body when it was/is weak.

Despite being sick still, I’m feeling more like myself today, so I’m going to focus on making…[Read more]

That’s such a good idea, I will try that 

Today is a new day a new week I will keep going.

10 bites today!   It really feels great to go to bed without regrets about food.

Right.  Sometimes you have to imagine that you ARE incarcerated–stuck in jail or on a deserted island with no access to food.  You have to play that imaginary game despite being surrounded by food.  The key, though, is to set your hungerstat so that hunger doesn’t push you over the edge.  Stay strong.  Play the imaginary game and ALWAYS WIN!.  

I’m browsing through some of the photos and it is very inspiring! The motivational quotes are always timely and I appreciate them … but the success pics some have shared are really calling to me! (I’d joined some time ago but didn’t take the time to look through it and forgot I was a member!)

Here it is Sunday and a bit after 1:30 in the…[Read more]

Oh dear, What a weekend, we went away with friends and family for the weekend, I thought I could stick to my 5 bite plan, but I got completely of track and just allowed it to escalate completely out of control, and now I’m so annoyed with myself again, I wish I could just be locked up somewhere with no food until these last pounds are gone

You’re welcome! I find between being on here and reading posts on the why weight around fb page it helps keep me motivated and focused.

Good to know! I’ll check it out. Thank you

Why weight around warriors is a great group to belong to on facebook

For sure! I can do it- reducing bite size and throwing food away. It’s not intuitive for me yet but I can get it to where it becomes second nature.

I kind of suspected I was overdoing my bites size.  Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome. I’m glad to be here.

Hi Vita!  Welcome!

Everyone’a idea of a bite size is different.  For me, a bite size should be 1/5 of a Snickers bar.  I think a McDonald’s cheeseburger is closer to 8 bites. so I want you to shrink your bite sizes down a little.  A little bite tastes just as good as a big bite.  And even more importantly I want you to get used to throwing food…[Read more]

Congratulations!

Thanks, Beth! Glad to hear I’m on the right track, volume-wise.
Are there Facebook groups you recommend in addition to posting/replying here? Does Dr. Lewis run one? I am in a couple of groups but signed up and paid for this hoping for something extra.

I very much appreciate your comment!

Right.  If you are hungry, eat!  I am not worried about you gaining too much weight.

Sorry I’ve been pretty quiet on the forum lately, but I am so glad to be back :yahoo I’ve been sticking with eating snickers bars for both meals…my daughter was quick to point out to everyone that I’m on my chocolate bar diet again. The looks and comments I got from everyone was priceless lol some people just really don’t understand, but it’s no…[Read more]
