That’s great! You’ve got this 

Oh yes I am chomping on gum constantly, at work we have a big bowl of gum where we can just help ourselves, and I grab a handful every time I walk past, and coffee I drink in buckets 

Oh yes, it’s so much easier when you’re not alone doing this let’s get skinny, missing out on food is only temporary, when we’re skinny we will eat again 

Chewing gum is great.  So is [slowly] drinking hot coffee, hot tea, or just plain hot water.

What about chewing gum instead? That way your mouth is busy and it may help curb excess eating. I’m thankful that I have no Easter engagements this weekend aside from a breakfast potluck, but I will be busy getting ready for the children’s performance, so I won’t need to be a part of it. Just focus one day at a time – you’re doing great! 

I know and I kept doing that as well for months now, but I think being here and having accountability helps. I’m only at day 1 of this journey, but I think half the battle is my mindset. I need to keep my head in the game and push for what I want and I know what I want is to be thin and to feel great about myself again and not to feel sluggish a…[Read more]

Thanks Beth and Dr Lewis, the problem is that having time of from work seems to give me the feeling that to have a good time means eating a lot of nice food, and having just 5 bites feels almost impossible, if it was just one evening it might be ok, but every day and hour seems so hard, I wish I could just have my jaw wired

I find it so hard this time around, I don’t know why, I’m just thinking about food all the time, and today I also ended up having more food than I intended, and I feel to just give up and say sod it and stuff my face, but I’m trying to remind myself that even if 30 bites is more than I intended it is still less than if I just keep eating until…[Read more]

Oh Pia, I feel exactly the same way as you. Maybe we can cheer each other on. I know that once I get going it becomes almost effortless – we can do it Pia! We did it before and I know we can do it again

Hey Beth. Welcome back, I feel similar, embarrassed to have gained all the weight and more, to be honest I don’t really have the motivation to be dieting right now, but I just can’t allow myself to get fatter and fatter, I just hate that feeling of this extra weight, I feel disgusted with myself, I really need to get skinny again FAST

Yay! thank you Dr Lewis! Today is a brand new day  I woke up feeling hopeful and ready to get started. My plan for today is a cup of tea with stevia for breakfast and a multivitamin. Lunch and dinner will be a snickers bar and lots of water throughout the day

Yep.  That’s exactly right.  That’s why I have the weight tracker.  It forces you to put down EXACTLY where you are at this point in time, and then we encourage you to improve up that quickly and dramatically.  I’m standing by your side encouraging you every step along the way to the finish line.  Let’s do this!  

Thank you! Let’s do this  today is already finished, but tomorrow is a new day and I’m committed to just get it done  thank you for your support and encouragement especially since since I was feeling so ashamed of myself, but I know the first step is admitting the problem, picking myself up and now the follow through

OK, Beth.  Then let’s just commit and get this done.  Start today.  Eat your 10 bites a day (That’s TEN bites!!–10 different [really small] meals a day!  That’s a TON!!) and not a bite more.  Count down the days until you cross the finish line.  Drink water, coffee/tea, and take a multivitamin, and just do it!  You’ve done this before.  You k…[Read more]

I agree with Beth.  BUT, I do admit, most people are probably going to have a few extra bites on Easter.  It doesn’t need to be that way, but reality is that is probably is going to be that way.  If you feel that you just “have” to have more than 5 bites on Easter, then all the more reason to be perfect today for lunch, tonight for dinner, to…[Read more]

Congratulations Lettie!! How exciting!!! 

Absolutely it will feel amazing to get through the Easter holidays sticking to five bites and it’s doable! You’ve got this ~ I love the accountability… we all have the same goal in mind and it’s achievable

Today I didn’t do too bad, ok I probably had 15 bites altogether, but still better than the weekend, tomorrow is a very busy day at work so hopefully that will take my mind of food and help me do perfectly!

I’m dreading the Easter holidays coming up this next few days, there will be a lot of dinner parties etc, and I really would love to get thr…[Read more]

Right on.
