Activity

I’ve now planned my meals for tomorrow, according to “I will do it” vs “I will try to do it” that I now implement.

After each food bite I’ve written “I will do it!”

For example:

1 teaspoon of shrimp and mayo – I will do it!

1 teaspoon of egg and mayo – I will do it!

And I will!

*And now I realize that “I will do the same” is what I want to write instead of  I will “try” to do the same!

So – I will do it!

I have seen that Dr Lewis isn’t fond of the word “try” and I am learning to use the words “I will do it” instead.

I will do it!

That feels much better!

I’ve been decluttering my space for some time, using the work of Dana K White.

She has come to see each space as a “container” and that it’s best to accept the limitations of each container.

I’m thinking of my stomach now as a container! And I don’t want to try and put more into it than it can hold comfortably. A bit like Madeleine wrote about…[Read more]

What a bummer with the pecan snickers. Now you know what you don’t like.

You can try having five different food bites for dinner and see if that is more satisfying.

Don’t “eat”, and instead, taste! (And wish me luck tomorrow as I will try to do the same!)

Go JulieNom!

Getting closer and closer! It’s all part of the learning.

I’ve taken a few falls over the past weeks, too. And it all counts – the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Go again JulieNom! I can feel that you’re already up! One foot in front of the other as Dr. Lewis says!

I’m smiling JulieNom, that sounds like a lovely imagination!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a smooth swan lake landing?

I think so!

I have all faith in you! Now I am thinking of you as a ballet star, since you mention the swan metaphor.

Wow! I hate to say anything after these posts. They seem like the last word. Dr. and Jane, you are great!

Well, yesterday I did really well until the evening! I woke up so determined, and was feeling great! Well, actually I overslept, and I was dreaming that there was a 5 bite class at my house, and we were doing so well. I have all these dreams…[Read more]

Thank you Dr. Lewis!

I was so looking forward to the “swan landing” that yesterday evening felt like the night before Christmas!

This morning I woke up very early, thinking that it might be Christmas morning!

It turns out, it wasn’t.

Tomorrow then!

Wow, Julie!  Thanks for sharing your struggles.  Like Jane, I think one day you will look back on these posts and laugh a little.  Remember: at the finish line everything will be clear: you will feel AMAZING, you will eat whatever you want, but you will fill up quickly and you won’t want to finish food just because it’s there.  Your metabolism wil…[Read more]

Absolutely brilliant, Jane!  You are a superstar!!!  

Swan incoming and possibly landing on the lake tomorrow.

Thank you JulieNom!

I think that the urge to buy food is a sign that our bodies are tapping into our stored hydrocarbon. I embrace the madness of it, as fighting nature is futile. I buy the food that I want and store it in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. It seems to soothe me, so I go with it. And perhaps that makes it easier for me to control…[Read more]

Ok! You inspired me.

Hi JulieNom!

No coffee for me in the morning. Once in a blue moon I’ll have an espresso with water at a café.

The smaller the bites, the less hunger is activated, it seems for now. Try and see what happens!

The pendulum must turn at a certain point. I think you will find a way!

Yesterday was bad again! I started off in the am with just tea, but got really hungry. I ordered another $60.00 of groceries, but am still not satisfied. I had cookies, cookies, I ordered one chicken wing, I ordered spaghetti that was not even good. I woke up with a stomach ache. I think the Dr. wants me to have a Snickers detox week. I AM so sick…[Read more]

Wonderful posts. I need to try with the Snickers as well. I would be interested in the restaurant app as well! I will try the Snickers. Do you have coffee in the am also?

Hi everyone!

Today I’m again having 1/4 snickers bar and 1/4 snickers bar.

I’m feeling good and optimistic that tomorrow I’ll be gliding in over the lake of maintenance. Possibly the day after tomorrow. We shall see!

I’m going to forget about maintenance and carry on with the snickers, and add one teaspoon of other food to my snickers when the…[Read more]

Wow!
