Yes! The swan is coming in for a landing at swan lake, in the wee hours of the morning of March 13th!

Stay tuned!

Alaska Gal, this is wonderful! So close – you can get this done quickly! And then you’ll have arrived! Great!

Hi JulieNom!

The cold soggy delivery-food is part of learning what we want and not want. You’re doing it!

Good food that has gone bad is sad, I agree. That’s also something to learn for us! When good food goes bad, it’s no longer good, and we let it go.

Guys, I really hate myself. I did so badly today, but have a new plan.

So I got my green tea with no sugar and Snickers all lined up. 8 am, log in to work. My first call was crushing. I felt so exhausted, and unmotivated. I felt I just could not get through. That turned into 9 am thoughts of – it’s an emergency, and I must eat the Snickers…[Read more]

You are SO close! Amazing job!

Just realized only just that I only have 12 lbs to my goal?!!! Say what??? Wow, I really had no idea I’ve been thinking I was still so far away!!!

Well, GOLLY!

Bravo!!!

One day I’ll be at my goal one day!!!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Exciting!!!!

Thank you Allison!

Now I’m at 117 lbs, and my goal is 116 lbs, so by tomorrow morning it should be done!

I had a couple of minutes at my goal weight two weeks ago and then I got carried away with my joy for food. Now I have done four days of snickers to get back to my goal weight.

This time I’m going to ease into meaintenance, and not smash…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>How close are you to your goal?  I thought it was you who said you were close.  Cheering you on!!</p>

I’ve now planned my meals for tomorrow, according to “I will do it” vs “I will try to do it” that I now implement.

After each food bite I’ve written “I will do it!”

For example:

1 teaspoon of shrimp and mayo – I will do it!

1 teaspoon of egg and mayo – I will do it!

And I will!

*And now I realize that “I will do the same” is what I want to write instead of  I will “try” to do the same!

So – I will do it!

I have seen that Dr Lewis isn’t fond of the word “try” and I am learning to use the words “I will do it” instead.

I will do it!

That feels much better!

I’ve been decluttering my space for some time, using the work of Dana K White.

She has come to see each space as a “container” and that it’s best to accept the limitations of each container.

I’m thinking of my stomach now as a container! And I don’t want to try and put more into it than it can hold comfortably. A bit like Madeleine wrote about…[Read more]

What a bummer with the pecan snickers. Now you know what you don’t like.

You can try having five different food bites for dinner and see if that is more satisfying.

Don’t “eat”, and instead, taste! (And wish me luck tomorrow as I will try to do the same!)

Go JulieNom!

Getting closer and closer! It’s all part of the learning.

I’ve taken a few falls over the past weeks, too. And it all counts – the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Go again JulieNom! I can feel that you’re already up! One foot in front of the other as Dr. Lewis says!

I’m smiling JulieNom, that sounds like a lovely imagination!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a smooth swan lake landing?

I think so!

I have all faith in you! Now I am thinking of you as a ballet star, since you mention the swan metaphor.

Wow! I hate to say anything after these posts. They seem like the last word. Dr. and Jane, you are great!

Well, yesterday I did really well until the evening! I woke up so determined, and was feeling great! Well, actually I overslept, and I was dreaming that there was a 5 bite class at my house, and we were doing so well. I have all these dreams…[Read more]

Thank you Dr. Lewis!

I was so looking forward to the “swan landing” that yesterday evening felt like the night before Christmas!

This morning I woke up very early, thinking that it might be Christmas morning!

It turns out, it wasn’t.

Tomorrow then!

Wow, Julie!  Thanks for sharing your struggles.  Like Jane, I think one day you will look back on these posts and laugh a little.  Remember: at the finish line everything will be clear: you will feel AMAZING, you will eat whatever you want, but you will fill up quickly and you won’t want to finish food just because it’s there.  Your metabolism wil…[Read more]
