Thanks Aniebee . I am trying to stay on the road.
I have been reading all your posts over the last week to keep motivated to restart.
Well, to tell the truth I was just delaying

Today I had 1 bar fo snicker and 5 bites of pizza with my family for dinner.
I really enjoyed having a normal dinner without thinking of losing weight with a salad!

I…[Read more]

I love your posts!

Great!

Right. And when you are REALLY hungry for dinner tonight, remind yourself that tonight is the night when you put your foot down and stand strong. Tonight is the night that you begin living that new life you’ve been dreaming about. Tonight is the night–after all this time–that you take that first step. Yes, you are going to be hungry, but SO…[Read more]

Good job Shelly!! Exactly, one meal or hour at a time

One meal at a time
Im not thinking about tomorrow.
Todays worries are enough
Meal by meal.
Made it thru am. Nothing
Lunch. Snickers
Now i just think about dinner when it gets here

Shelly

So I had a rough night & morning. I just felt so out of it & starving last night & I had some extra bites of a dessert. I did the same thing this morning telling myself “these will be my five bites instead of lunch.” but it feels like diet sabotage. So I did start my period today, which is what I figured given my hunger & other symptoms.

So…[Read more]

I’ve still got 20+ lbs so I’ll get some good practice in too!

Working on remembering I can have whatever food I’m craving once I’m hungry & at my goal weight!

I love that, Aniebee. And everyday that you are on this diet you get the chance to practice more. So, for those who have a lot of weight to lose and are on this program for a long time, the good news is that they get a LOT of practice, and all that practice will help keep them thin once they get to the finish line.

Right, Shelly. The evenings are hardest, because that’s our biggest meal and when most bodies are expecting a lot of food. It’s going to take 3 days to break this pattern. Again, you just have to put your foot down and do it. It is hard? Yes–but that’s what makes it exciting. No more excuses (please, not another cousin story). You alone…[Read more]

Yeah evening is definitely the hardest part! I’m trying to set up my thinking so I have things I enjoy or am proud of in the evening like – from 5-7 whole making dinner for the family I didn’t have nibbles! I’m trying to look at it like this is when my body is using its far stores & I don’t want to ruin it now!!!

That being said I had more than 5…[Read more]

Hi Anibee,
Thanks for asking.
Its been hard. I had a cousin visit all week. But today is going to be great.
I am just taking care of me today and trying not to do anything strenuous so I stay calm and relaxed.

I read often on the facebook page that many people can do great in the morning, afternoon, but a lot blow it in the evenings. It…[Read more]

Just curious how your week went?

I love how this diet teaches me how to have control around food. I’m realizing that was one of the biggest problems with keeping me overweight. I always heard you’re not supposed to be hungry and when I would feel my blood sugar drop, that I have to eat – I don’t have any medical conditions so this isn’t true advice. Just others enabling unhealthy…[Read more]

Finally got to weigh in : down 5 lbs!

I can tell the weight loss has slowed the past couple of days- I’m going to start that TOM in a day or two so I’m good with 5! I figured out that’s why I’ve been ravenous still too. That’s starting to go away, hunger was much more manageable last night.

I’m sticking with bars again this week. It helps me…[Read more]

Thank you!

An even bigger victory that I’m proud of is I was up from 11:30-4:30am with sick kiddos & I was starving the whole time!!! I had water then coffee – 1 cup with a splash of cream the other black – but NO bites!!!!!! Before I would have definitely eaten to help me stay awake.

I also promised my girls I’d take them to the new my little…[Read more]

Great job! :laugh:

So proud of myself!!

My husband knows about the diet, but still was asking me to taste his broth he made. muscles with homemade broth were for dinner. It smelled delicious! Full of garlic & butter! But I already had my bar for dinner & just said I was sorry & that it smelled amazing, but I couldn’t right now. He survived.

Add salt if that makes you feel better. Salt contains no carbon, obviously, so it doesn’t affect your fat stores in any way. You may hold on to a little extra water, which will affect the scale, but who cares? Ultimately it’s just about getting all the fat off the body. Lastly, if you are drinking too much water, you may actually be deficient…[Read more]

I see. So it doesn’t effect the hungerstat, but it does effect my overall hunger conditioning.

Since quitting the whey powder in my coffee I’ve been super hungry almost all the time. So I’m resetting my hungerstat again it seems, but that’s just fine! Hopefully it’ll help me just lose more weight!

Thanks again for your insight!

Can’t wait to…[Read more]
