Anyone know if there was a recording of the call on 11/1? I don’t see it posted yet.

Another perfect day yesterday.  Drinking coffee again definitely helps, as does the meditations for anxiety.  Last night the withdrawals weren’t as bad as the day before.  I watched a cute movie with my son and went to bed early-ish.

We watched the new Tom Hanks movie, Finch.  He is living through an apocalypse, with his dog and a robot he bui…[Read more]

Day 5!! Bring it on. Today is an early day at work. It can be a tricky day food wise but I’m reset and ready. This is the day that usually signifies coasting through. It’s usually the time in my reset where cravings and appetite are gone. Leaning toward that memory.

I have a busy day today which is great for a bar day.

wishing you all a great day!!

good for you Sharon! You are so productive and focused !! I find that when I do bars,I have much better focus on work and life. Love the bubble bath idea. What a great way to release the heaviness of life. Glad that you’re taking such a proactive approach to health. Your positivity is healing for you and inspiring to all.

Hi everyone I am here , it has been crazy crazy crazy 48 hours.
work is nuts, seeing my patients and explaining my health journey so far has been very tiring for me this week. My first week back at work since July 9th. Also had to finish my ticketing and up in  the ear,y hours of the morning ringing Norway corona virus dept to make sure it is…[Read more]

I completely understand!! IT IS NOT YOU!! I think it’s definitely how highly palatable foods trigger dopamine. Check out Dopamine nation. Anna Lemke. Also craving mind Judson Brewer. I am using bars as my dopamine detox. More to say but patients await.

I was flying high today!! A few thoughts of food but not hungry – just some head hunger. So busy today which helps.

one more bar to go. I like to tell myself that I’ve done full fasts before and this is so much easier.

Can’t wait to hop on the scale after a few more days on bars. Never miss the food I don’t eat. Only 10-15 min of pleasure. I rat…[Read more]

Whoo Hoo Rachel!! That’s how we build our stripes.

I’m with you. Had a great day yesterday. The mind wanders with thoughts of food or changing plans but I KNOW THAT NOTHING IS FASTER THAN BARS!!! I am shouting at myself. I also know that I ALWAYS WANT MORE FOOD regardless of what plan I’m on. I need to eat and move on. The diet is serving a…[Read more]

A great day today! Super challenging, but I finally did a perfect day

I made it past 4pm without eating extra bites today!!!  Progress. Every time I had the urge to eat, I used my meditation app on my phone.

I definitely have some sort of food addiction or binge eating disorder. Staying on bars is the best thing for me right now, despite feeling like a drug junkie in withdrawal.

Happy Day 3!!

Have so much energy!! Busy at work which is so helpful. This is my early work day and usually starved but doing well. I feel so focused and not craving food. Trying to stay out of stores and minimize exposure to food. One of the things I love about bars is that I detach from food. I feel in the zone!! Haven’t felt that way for a l…[Read more]

Well I remember a similar conversation. I only thought I wanted/needed to lose 15 pounds and I lost almost 30. I was happy I did. Sometimes I think 115 is a bit too low but 117/118 is fantastic. Trust the process. It goes fast when you stick with it and keep the momentum.

One day at a time. Try to get through the weekends. It’s tough and I’ve…[Read more]

Well Carmel I remember a similar conversation. I only thought I wanted/needed to lose 15 pounds and I lost almost 30. I was happy I did. Sometimes I think 115 is a bit too low but 117/118 is fantastic. Trust the process. It goes fast when you stick with it and keep the momentum.

Wishing everyone a great day!

Day 2 down, Day 3 here we come!

What a great day you had Poppycat! It’s amazing how energized we become  when our body is not bogged down with excess digestion.  I’m so glad for your good report.  Yes, lets go into that time of year when people gain weight, and be those that baffle others with our losses. That gets me excited!  I want  to…[Read more]

Day 2 down!  Day 3 here we go!

How’s everyone doing? I encourage you to stay  focused on today.

When I began this program at the end of last April,  I thought I only had about 20+ lbs  to loose to get to MY goal, but  after talking to Dr. Lewis found out I ACTUALLY had 62 lbs to lose!  That realization was crushing at first because the dista…[Read more]

So great to see everyone posting here.  I had difficult sleeping but woke up a little late for work which was not the greatest start to a Tuesday!I  did not allow it to derail me and to not  forget to take my snickers bar to work. Had lots of coffee to keep me awake and drank a whole bottle of sparkling water throughout the day sipping between pa…[Read more]

Well done, pounds gone is always a winner, as each day passes Rachel, you are going to get stronger and stronger in your mind and body. You can and will do this Rachel.  Keep posting, drinking lots of water, even sparkling water with lemon and ice always helps me, quenches your thirst and you feel like you are having a nice refreshing drink and…[Read more]

Thank you for the advice Rachel.  I already have that in practice and have done that for the past few years, along with magnesium, a couple of other things, and a good quality multivitamin. And I went from vegetarian to pescatarian because I felt I needed a little more added to my diet.

Thanks Carmel!  I have to stay motivated, or I will end up crying in a corner.  2 pounds gone, 120 to go.  Gah!    It can be frustrating, but quitting isn’t going to help anything.  I have to keep going, even after a tough week, because every pound lost will inch me closer to my goal.  And I know if I can pull off some perfect weeks, I will m…[Read more]

I agree Racheal, mistakes always belong behind us, right?   A new day, a new opportunity. Life is a one-way ride, no do-overs, but ALWAYS another chance to live it out better today.

Sleeping in…warm bath…I love it!  Get it when you can!

1st bar down (I always eat early 11AM lunch) and black coffee with French Vanilla Stevia drops and I’m d…[Read more]
