Activity

Had 2 perfect days and lost 2 pounds. I’m cut up some pizza and weighed it. My serving size was 80gm by eye, so I cut it down to 50gm. I sometimes have trouble with variation of bite sizes, but weighing is my insurance policy. Sticking to the bars at lunch.

When I overeat, I have terrible indigestion, so I just remember how insufferable that is…[Read more]

That’s a great start, Ladies!  Go for it!  One day at a time–one meal at at time.  You’ve got this!

Wonderful katie. I am cheering you on.  stay away from food for now. My husband has been away for five days so I threw all the food out of the fridge even salad so I didn’t have to be tempted by any food. I have two more days before he is home. I am jumping on tomorrow. Have slipped majorly. Need to get me back again .

Your plan, Katie, is perfect.  But you WILL get there a lot sooner than 40 days.  But just focus on the next meal–the next bar.  Make it to 12.  Enjoy every bite of your bar.  Taste it.  Savor it.  Then throw the wrapper away, and find a way to pass time until 5:00.  Repeat.  If you get hungry in-between bars, remind yourself why you are on this…[Read more]

I have had a bad week this week, but determined to get back on track. Had a few family dramas. I have this horrible Uncle who is a con man and has taken $30,000 from my Auntie who has dementia. So there has been some stress eating, but I’ve organised for my cousin to go power of attorney so it doesn’t happen again. I think everyone has some…[Read more]

Didn’t sleep very well last night, and woke up hungry.  Going to power through this feeling until Noon, when I will have my first bar of the day.  About to hit the meditation pillow before I head to work.

Down 1.5 lbs today.  Current weight is 159. Goodbye to the 160’s!!!!

Good luck, and best wishes!

Another perfect day. Lunch was 1 luna bar. Dinner I had planned for another bar. But a coworker had bought me a special vegan chocolate cupcake from a beautiful local bakery. So I ate 2 bites of this for dinner. Threw the rest away. Those two bites were excuisite. Didn’t need a bite more. Hunger stat is kicking in!

Great.  Now, after the fact, is your life any less complete because you didn’t give in an eat?   NO!  In fact, it’s a WHOLE LOT BETTER ALREADY!      Keep up the great work!

Food is always tempting, but it’s enjoyment is SO SHORT LIVED.  Don’t give in!  So, practice distraction.  Stay away from food as much as you can.  Throw everything away.  Right now ALL of your attention should be on getting to the finish line, and only then can you  re-engage in life’s normal routines.

Thanks Dr Lewis! It totally paid off on the scale today too. Down 2 lbs since yesterday. Current weight is 160.5.  Just need another 6lbs by Sunday to hit my 10lb goal this week.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions, Chloe!  You are a superstar!!  

Yes!  That’s it, Katie!  How are you feeling?  

Absolutely beautiful, Rachel!  That is music to my ears1  Congratulations!!  

OMG. That had to be one of the most difficult things…but I did it!!! I didn’t eat one bite of food at bookclub dinner. They even tempted me with vegan french fries, which is normally my go-to snack at restaurants with non vegan items. I sat there sipping on my fake “rum” and diet coke. Talked about the book for about 2 hours, and cut out when…[Read more]

Bookclub meeting today.  Dang it!  They are meeting at a pub.  Going to stick to diet sodas to get me through the evening.  I am committed to eating bars only.  My excuse for not eating will be “sorry, the doctor has me on a strict diet for some personal issues right now”

Dr. Lewis…you are my excuse tonight.  LOL.  To hold me acc…[Read more]
