Right.  No amount of other food or of a greater amount of food will make you feel better for very long.  Worse, actually.  Much worse.  But, once the hunger pang ebbs, knowing that you stuck to the program, you will feel like a million bucks!  So hang in there guys!!!

Yes, great job Rachel!!

Indeed!–How are you both doing?

I know that consistency is the best tool. For myself I consider one tablespoon a bite. You could always but a scale and weight out food as an option too.

I’m definitely already sick of bars 😂 but I also know that when I try to eat regular food to soon I loose all control! I was down another pound this morning so that is really helping me stay motivated! Drank a bit too much diet soda yesterday but I’m trying to focus on the win of sticking with bars.

Way to go!

Found this on an old forum post by Susan: “Using food to reduce stress is very temporary, but, the ill effects of it last a long time.”- Dr. Lewis

How are you doing Shelly? Hope it has been an easy few days for you.

You probably have access to the “regular” size Snicker bars, which are 1.86 oz not 2.07 oz.

Love the idea of warming up the bars.  You are all so clever! Writing that idea down for future reference.

How are you doing on bars? I always forget how easy the pounds fall off when I do this perfectly.  The bars really help me focus.  Wonder if we will get tired of them in a few weeks.  LOL 😂

Welcome to the group! You’ve got this. Truly the easiest diet plan to follow if you can just get through the first 3-4 days as you set your hunger stat and adjust to the lower volumes.

If you can’t find Snickers bars, you can really use any sort of granola or protein bar that is less than 2oz.  I use Luna, some use quest or zone…[Read more]

Day 3 of 32 day bar challenge:

Yesterday was hard! Luna Salted Carmel bar for lunch, and a Luna Lemon Zest bar for dinner.  Lots of coffee for appetite suppressant.  I was VERY hungry in the evening.  Took a small bite of my son’s personal vegan pizza that was delivered with the wrong toppings, and that he refused to eat.  Immediately reali…[Read more]

Day two!

For my first bar I was really craving something warm so I took the advice from Susan from older posts. I heated up my snickers bar a little bit! Wouldn’t do it every time but it was a nice change up.

Second bar I had a snickers ice cream candy bar. Super good!

Great I will definitely check that out!

I am so happy to be here. I have tried everything to feel better. I ache all over and I know it is because I am 50 pounds overweight.
