Congratulations! A new week to work through – we know how to do this!

Hello Week 2!

I have weighed myself, and I have lost 6 pounds. I am now at 185. This is major for me. I never have this success with my diets.

The last time I recall being in the 180s was in 2022. I lost weight by accident. I wasn’t trying. I had achieved the dream of all call center reps: I was put on the email queue! I was so excited. I was…[Read more]

Nicely done JulieNom!

The end of the weekend was good. On Saturday night, after I finished my 5 bites, I had an ice cream, but not more, and I went to bed.

On Sunday I had a little can of cold coffee I had purchased from Aldi. It had milk and sugar. I did not like it, but it was better than the Starbucks. To stay on my schedule, I ordered a lunch from Uber Eats to…[Read more]

Congratulations on feeling free of food noise!

First, as I had planned, I got up and just had a big unsweet iced tea. I did some laundry. To keep consistent, I did not want to have my lunch until 1:45, as the lunch time my employer assigns me is always between 1:45 and 2:45.…[Read more]

That’s great JulieNom!

I am losing weight. 185.8.

We are learning and learning. I feel emotion, mostly sadness, while on this diet. Perhaps a few times a day I feel sad. I don’t mind. It seems to me like memories that I buried with comfort food years ago are now coming to the surface. Letting go instead of trying to soothe myself with food is sort of interesting. I don’t fear hunger at the…[Read more]

Oh I just messed up, but I am learning.

This morning I tried to drink black coffee. I got a Starbucks iced coffee. The Starbucks site said that this coffee has notes of malted milk chocolate and brown sugar. I could not taste that. The taste was awful and bitter, and I ended up putting creamer in it. I did not like the taste or smell or way it…[Read more]

It will be interesting to see if shopping urges and habits calm down and follow along with the weight reduction and hunger stabilization of this diet programme. I’m looking forward to experiencing something new in this area of life.
