Unfortunately I gave in to temptation at a wedding this past weekend. Pretty upset with myself because I’m pretty sure any progress I had made is now gone. Waiting until tomorrow to weigh in and see. If i’m being honest with myself I didn’t really commit myself to the bars only idea for the first week but think that is what I need to do now to…[Read more]

Yep I am on it! thanks doc 

Yay.  And you will feel the benefits immediately.  The second you commit to eating nothing but five bites twice a day you may be hungry, yes, but you will instantly feel strong and powerful.  You KNOW where this program is going to take you, and it’s exciting.  Also, Chloe, after reading through the beginning of this thread I realized that you lik…[Read more]

Day 0

Hi y’all I am back again. I did a pretty terrible job with going it on my own and managed to gain back all the weight I lost.  I went from 150 back up to 170. I have fiddled with various bite schemes for the last month and a half only to fail miserably. My understanding is that it’s quite easy to lose weight and be disciplined about…[Read more]

Right.  Great.  The thing to remember is this:  You will be really hungry at lunch.  Have a cup of black coffee and lots of water.  Power through ’till dinner, then five bites.  And then the weekend!  No work pressure.  You can just relax and basque in your own misery (hunger).  The days will tick by quickly, and come Monday you should be feeling…[Read more]

Yesterday was great. Unfortunately I gave into peer pressure at work this morning and had a kolache but good news is it was only five bites so I will just skip lunch today and get my head straight for the weekend.

Great Katie!  Welcome back!

You recognize the importance of accountability to help maintain focus and your commitment.  You are in the right place!  But use this to complete your journey once and for all.

Just remember that as you get close to the finish line you start to feel really, really good, and you lose the incentive to find your magic nu…[Read more]

I love it.  Again, you are separating yourself from mediocrity.  But really, whose wants to live a mediocre life?

I haven’t got the “you’re too skinny” comment yet.  But people are starting to notice the weight drop and ask questions.  Inevitably, they ask how much I want to lose.  When I tell them another 30-40lbs, they instantly jump to “oh no!  that is too much, don’t go that far.  you will be TOO skinny!”

What??? Really?  Why do they feel so uncom…[Read more]

This is great Dr. L! Thank you again. I will put this to use this coming weekend.

Right.  Emotional hunger is never satisfied with food–it is merely quieted for a few minutes.  So find some other way of handling that.  Physical hunger is controlled with exactly 5 bites once your hungerstat sets to that number.

Right.  It’s the first thread, highlighted in orange.

Right.  Remember most of EVERY pound lost on your scale is water.  60% of our bodies are water, and 60% of everything we lose is water, all the way through to the finish line.  But there is no reason that the pace you’ve set for yourself should change much.  Will it?  Yes a little, but not too much.  So, keep up the outstanding focus and just…[Read more]

Celebrate every pound! 

It is pinned as the first conversation on this community forum page.  but here is the direct link:  https://theslimmingstation.com/forums/topic/live-chat-schedule/

I also was reminded today of the difference of emotional hunger and physical hunger. For emotional hunger it’s so important to actually figure out what I am hungry for and what do I need instead.

I love the idea of imagery. That is definitely helpful. it’s very interesting to hear that you will not be as hungry or less hungry when you are skinny. I didn’t realize the difference. Buckling down to get through the next couple days! Getting my hungerstat set.

Day 1 went well! Two pounds down. I know most of it is water weight but i’ll take it! Drinking my coffee now and have decided to do snickers for this first week.
