another day down!

3 cups of coffee with 1 tbsp cream each

2 cans of diet coke

1 king size peanut butter snickers

trying to keep it simple and stick to bars! Excited to weigh myself tomorrow

As long as it’s five bites eat away! I know I have a really hard time throwing away food. I think the real test is to be accountable to eating food larger than a snickers bar and being done. There is something so empowering about actually being able to resist! Keep up the great work

👏👏👏

You can do it!

Great job! Looks like your mindset is great! I do find it interesting how staying warm really does help

Thanks again for the support!

3 cups of coffee (1 tbsp cream in each, I know it should be black but I just can’t)

2 diet cokes

1 king size snickers peanut butter bar (essentially 2 bars, there are 4 squares total)

Lots of water and distractions!

I third that idea!

I am having a lovely bubble bath thinking 🤔 about how I am going to conquer and challenge myself with my meal tonight and I read this incredible piece of writing from dr Lewis to a member here in December about how to deal with a five bite meal

I will put it down below  so I have had a change of plan for my meal tonight which will be as…[Read more]

BK,

I agree with Sharon Marie. Daily checking in  is good as is a food journal. My daily journal is a log of my weight every day.  I take my weight and write it down first thing. For me this motivates me for the day. Most importantly, this is a a journey that we are all together. My prayers and best wishes are with you. Stay Strong! Stand Tall!

Ps I am also only going to weigh once a week , every Monday morning

I am here with you BK. You can do this. Checking in and writing every day really does work. It jolts you’re brain into keeping on the right path. We know how we can go off plan so easily at the beginning but when we are resting g our hungerstat, I find I have to be 100% focused and checking in on the slimming statIon every day. It surely does w…[Read more]

Well I’m resetting once again after an indulgent weekend. I’m going to include a daily food journal on here to help keep me accountable.

I only do gentle yoga and stretching and totally agree with you Dr Lewis that strenuous exercise does indeed increase my appetite.
So with it being a Monday morning and a muddled long weekend away in Pittsburgh I climbed onto the scale and starting at 134.7 today. Determined and focus , coffee and water , snickers bar for lunch and five bites of…[Read more]

Distractions are great.  Yoga would serve as a wonderful, time-occupying distraction.  Going for a nature walk would do the same.  Other great ways to control hunger: Bundle up and get WARM, drink hot water, and anything with caffeine.  Exercise will temporarily suppress hunger, but the hunger comes back with a vengeance an hour or so later, and…[Read more]

It truly is incredible in how miraculously snicker bars work in filling us up and also feeling satiated. Well done 👍 on sticking with the plan for the day and being brave and open about what you are doing with your friends. Sooooo proud of you for doing that.  Incredible weight loss too, such a huge motivator to see the scale Down 2.5 pounds.…[Read more]

Sharon Marie!

Thanks for your note. So far my weekend is going well. I am with a group of my boys from the Catholic High School where I am the chaplain.  We are in the middle of a senior retreat. The setting is beautiful. Even this retreat is helping me stay focused on the diet. At Lunch today at first I was afraid to eat my Snicker bar for l…[Read more]

I would absolutely do a week of snickers only just to reset the hungerstat to the perfect amount in your tummy and then you can transition to healthy food if that is more your preference. I am not Dr Lewis of course but we will see what Dr Lewis’s reply is.
hope you are having a good day Sean and that the weekend is going well. I am still away i…[Read more]

Yoga is a great idea to help with times of hunger. I will have to try that!
