Activity

Way to stop ✋ that’s the hardest part for me, stopping!

Wow! You offer all of us working to get there encouragment.

Thank you JulieNom!

I’m not any better than other people, unfortunatly.

I got hungrier and hungrier after my meals, and I ate more than I had planned to eat.

It’s possible that the first slightly bigger meal today (5 bites instead of 4) activated my hunger.

Perhaps it was also the thought of having arrived at my goal that brought with it excitement that I got caught up in.

Jane, you are so kind and thoughtful. You deserve all the success in the world.

I decided to have five bites for my first meal today.

For the past five days I’ve had four bites per meal.

I feel quite full now after my five bites.

This morning the scale says I’m at the goal.

I can pinch around the belly button and also a bit above and a bit below the belly button pinch.

How exciting!

Hi there everyone!

I think that tomorrow will be when I reach my goal.

0.4 lbs to go!

Of course, we shall have to re-evaluate with a pinch around the belly button.

Patience is the way back to health.

Wowzers!

Food lasts a long time on this diet!

Thank you Dr Lewis!

I appreciate your input.

I’ll wait at least a month into stabilization in maintenance to go for a lab test.

One foot in front of the other until then!
