Thank you Sharon, for pulling out Michael P’s journal, he did really master this diet to perfection, I will be re reading it this weekend to keep myself from the extra bites, because as he said;weekends are just just another sun up and sun down….

Soooooo inspiring, dedicated and real. Thank you Michael. Your memory lives in strong here and have left an incredible impact for everyone to learn from your journey

So lovely to see your journaling again. You are very inspirational Dr Collins xx

Well done Shelly. Two times you eat. Water, tea coffee , iced lemon water. You can do this Shelly. I am right with you.

Well, I am going to get some help.

I am  seeing my therapist for depression every week like I did back in 2014 when I lost this weight

and taking my pain med Diclofenac 75 mg twice a day.   The pain causes me anxiety and I cannot do the 5 bite diet when I am hurting.

I will see if this makes it a little easier

Shelly

Also, Kristina, feeling a little “empty” in the stomach is … exciting!  It’s a gentle reminder of where you are going.  It’s a place that’s unique, powerful, and exceptionally healthy.  You will be the envy of everyone you know.  And yet, all you need to do to get there is to hold off on eating mindlessly for awhile.  Look forward to the chal…[Read more]

I do find weekends are really tough too, I have lost 20lbs or more on this diet previously without ever being able to have a perfect weekend (not that I recommend doing it that way) What I am trying to say that, with this diet you can loose weight even if you fall of now and then, with other diets you fall of in the weekend and it will all be…[Read more]

Weekends because of corona have been in the house, and we use to go out which made the weekends way easier because we were out non stop

Boredom and worry, my husband came from the dentist and was not feeling well so to be frank I started to eat my feelings even though that is not healthy at all

it’s like food is a pacifier for me, or a smoke break and I don’t have any tools aside from willpower to help me when things get more difficult

Hi.  Why?  Is it because you are home and so close to the kitchen?  Is it because the family is constantly munching on something?  Is it boredom?  What do you typically do on the weekends?

Yes I continued to struggle and keep eating today, looking for any tips or advice for weekends Dr. Lewis, I am struggling with the weekends in particular
