Way to go Allison! I like to eat around 1:30 also

I am counting my bar bites more closely today.  My protein bar is 10 regular bites!  Holy cow!  It is nearly the same weight and size as a snickers, but I knew it looked a little bigger so I was cutting off the ends of the bar and throwing them away.  However, this is much larger than I had guessed.  Starting today, I am eating half for lunc…[Read more]

Thanks!! I am finding as long as I keep the same routine, it is not any harder to do this diet than any other “restrictive” diet I have ever tried. I do better if I wait until I am hungry from lunch (I try to wait until 1:30 pm) and then dinner is usually by 6:30 pm. My days go better if I wait a little longer for lunch that my old 12:00 or…[Read more]

Great approach to getting over the little strays we ALL have! We cannot let imperfection get us to give up. But still I am trying to count my 5 bites. I threw away from food last night. It is a hard adjustment to make after growing up to never waste and eating my kids leftovers!!

Congratulations! Nicely done.

Well, I made it a whole week without faltering.  I caved and had some wine last night, which led to some extra bites, but I am back at it today.  Not going to let a little wobble get me down. I didn’t eat a whole lot, but it made my stomach ache due to the extra volume!

Thank you!! I saw you in some of the old video chats! I really feel like I know some of you now!

So true!! Two days ago I had a hard day. I pinpointed it to not having what I wanted for lunch and instead trying something I deemed “healthier”. Well that was a mistake. The whole rest of the day I was hungry and unsatisfied. My new plan is have exactly what I want for lunch. Yesterday went much better!!

Hi Sheryl!!

I had no idea what you had been through when I saw you in FB. Glad you are here!! I love Baby Ruths! I will have to stock up next time I shop!! I am also very glad I joined (one week ago today – and -13 pounds down – one slip day in there where I stayed the same). We can do this!! Thankful you are cancer free now!! Amazing story!

Day 6 Entry: 5/27/2021

Yesterday was the first time I felt somewhat hungrier than usual. I think it was mainly in my head though because my wife had her usual late night snacks (which I used to take part in) and there were quite a bit of food ads everywhere I looked. The beauty of this set up though is that whatever I may have seen yesterday, and…[Read more]

Great pic!! Happy for you!! Hope you have a great birthday next week!!! Thanks for the words of motivation!!!

This was me 10 days ago stretching my back from my yoga Practise after moving so many boxes that day xx

Thank you Rachel and Alison. I am doing very well. Had lots of comments at work recently as am in a small scrub top and trousers now and can now see my figure more. I do feel so much more control than I ever have with food and emotional eating. One huge shift for me is being under 130 and feeling thinner I just love it. Eating more food has lost…[Read more]
