Rachel, when I was in graduate school, I had to promise myself not to gain 30 pounds, as I had done that with both previous degrees (stress eating/celebrating) !! It is amazing you are able to keep it together while also finishing school!!

Way to go!!

Exactly right, Rachel!  Congratulations on your exam!

Right.  The food isn’t going anywhere.  What ever you throw away today you can buy again and have fresh tomorrow.  The “wasted” expense is actually an worth-while investment in your own health–money extremely well spent.  So please get comfortable tasting and tossing!

Breezed through my Final Exam tonight.    So happy I didn’t let the stress get to me this week.  Now I just need to resist the temptation to reward myself for a job well done.  LOL!  Well…I can’t think of a better reward than a few less pou…[Read more]

I really need all the motivation I can get

Excited to still see your progress! 4lbs is great! You got this!

Your wedding is a great goal! I wasn’t able to get to the weight I wanted for mine and I definitely regret it. All of your hard work will pay off. I keep telling myself “there is always more” food and it has been helping me resist temptation

At least you have plan and that really helps to stick to the plan! Have a fabulous time!

That’s awesome!  I love the idea of having mini goals and rewards along the way!

Still doing well! Had a great day yesterday on the plan and it’s making me feel more confident. Chose some rewards/prizes for myself for hitting certain weight goals along the way to help my motivation. Sticking to snickers and trying to stay super busy/ out of the kitchen!

No. I’ve been doing regular food so I’ll continue that on the trip. Dr. Lewis said he wants me to try bars so I’ll do that when I get back.

Day 18 Entry: 6/7/2021

I need to make sure and not let this go too many days without updating. The main issue I have right now is a broken scale. Yes, it’s officially showing “E” (for error) and isn’t resetting. So at the end of the week, I’ll be buying a brand new one.

In terms of bites, I mean, I’ve been on top  of it – 5 bites of perfection…[Read more]

Fantastic! You’re doing great! Do you plan on doing bars while you’re away?

Hi Beth!
I’m doing well! Hungerstat is set and I feel really good. I’m going out of town on Wednesday and I’m staying the course!
Thanks for checking!

Right?! You’re doing so well!!! You e got this!!!

I can’t believe how being in the right mindset makes this so much easier.  I finally feel like I can do this all the way to the end.

Welcome!! That’s so exciting Ashley!! How have your first few days gone?
