Let’s do it Allison.
I just can’t find the motivation

I know.  Wanting to be healthy like Dr Lewis says should be my motivation.  I know with spinal fusions that should be plenty.  I think I just don’t care about myself.  Maybe loosing weight I will care after I feel what it’s like to be that way agsin.
might not for money.   For motivation then.

I work from home too.  I bought a cute kitchen open/closed sign as a visual reminder when not to get food!  It was from amazon.  It helps me especially at night when watching tv.

Also get the food out of sight.  It helps so much not to “see” food on the kitchen counters when you are home. Amazing trick really! Out of sight is out of mind!…[Read more]

I have never thought of this.  It diesn’t get too hard?

love snickers and they make a chocolate payday (tastes kind of like baby ruth).

I will do it for support!!  But I don’t think I can take your money!!  I will pay myself $30 in something I want (pedicure maybe?) if I do it! Thanks for the idea!!

Allison

Will do!! I need this!!

Allison

Thank you Shelly!!  I am on day 5 of my newer reset!!  I have never gotten to day 5 so well before!!

We are almost the same Allison.  Join my 30 pound challenge

Great job Allison.  I love your enthusiasm

Great!  Don’t slow down!!!

Shelly – I have had luck just telling myself no snacks are allowed.  The yes/no brain decision is much easier than trying to moderate snacks.  I also watch the clock.  If I wait until 1 pm at least – my day goes better.  If I eat lunch earlier – I have a hard time getting through until dinner. At 10 am I take my caffeine.   Cheering you on!!

Hi Shelly.  Yes, working from home with a stash of food 20 feet away is a problem.  You just need to satisfy your oral fixation and/or boredom with something other than food.  Coffee (I know you are not a coffee drinker) or tea is a free “go-to,” and sipping on hot, hot water is always (surprisingly) very effective.  Chewing gum is another goo…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis and Gayle!!!    You both know just what to say.

I quit when I<b> have doubts </b> about the 5bite diet.  My minimum will be 140 for now.  Max 150

Doubts:   Snickers bars…full of sugar. So creating doubts…..when I am trying to lower my sugar…that is hard for me to comprehend.

POSITIVE:    3 weeks ago I got a CPAP machine.  Tha…[Read more]
