You can’t outrun your mouth -Ray Cronise

Thanks Dr. Lewis! I know the family dynamic is not changing any time soon but I am!

today was going okay, I had my coffee for breakfast and 5 bites of snickers for lunch but then I was feeling like I was in a funk and I simply missed the habit of eating. I miss it! I miss grazing on food, picking at food, swiping a few extra tastes when I’m…[Read more]

GREAT story!!!!  You did win!  You absolutely won!  And you, among all of your family members, are going to end up looking and feeling better than any of them–and will live SO MUCH HEALTHIER.  No matter what your family dynamics are, you are definitely winning!  

That is brilliant.  You are already ahead of last week.  See how far you can continue to push ahead, eating smaller bites and never more than 5.  You’ve got the ball rolling downhill–keep pushing it so that it picks up more and more speed.  It’s a non-stop sprint to the bottom of the hill.

Ok I am going to weigh 2x a week so I don’t stray too far. I had coffee with cream this morning and a bar for lunch. Usually I have coffee with cream and breakfast so I’m already ahead of last week. 

Yesterday I had a frustrating phone call with a family member, and as family knows how to push your buttons like no one else, I got off the phone in a rough emotional state. Normally I’d turn to food for comfort. It was almost time to start dinner and in the past, I would have called my husband on his drive home and asked what he’d like for dinner…[Read more]

YES! Once a week! The daily fluctuations will drive you mad and you’ll lose focus. Focus on getting perfectly on plan: black coffee, water, vitamin, 5 bites, 5 bites and nothing else. Then you won’t fear the scale on your weigh in day and the scale will have no choice but to move down.

It really makes it feel more attainable since with water fluctuations and salt intake, etc., you can’t know 100% what the scale will do but you know for sure a day will pass and you know if you followed the plan or not that day. Go for it! I’m excited for you!

Well after being up 1.8, I am only down 0.6 after 2 bars a day and 3 boneless wings. I’m very discouraged. Should I just weigh once a week? I’m basically feeling like I’m never going to lose the amounts of weight people say they are losing.

I love the chart Alison! I’m inspired by your perfect days. I’m going on a cruise in August so I’m going to do perfect day count down. 😀

Me too Brooks!

Thanks Chris and brooks! I feel wonderful. It’s only a matter of time!

Today marks 15 perfect days in a row!

Breakfast black coffee

Lunch 1/2 a snickers in 5 bites

Dinner pasta with Italian sausage, 5 tastes. I realized today that the bite size I’m eating is the same or less than the size I feed my toddler 

15 perfect days down, 105 to go!

  Yes Chris.  Great plan.  I am so glad to be on this journey.   I am so pumped to finally finish!!!

AAL CONGRATS on two weeks. I bet that feels great!!!

Great job, Brooks!  You are doing GREAT!

Agreed: communion is OK.  You are improving your spiritual health in exchange for an insignificant amount of carbon, which is a good trade-off.  And look at how well you are doing!  You’ve got everything moving in the right direction, so don’t change a thing!  

Awesome job! 10 lbs is huge.

Great plan, I’m excited to follow your journey! Bars for lunch, food for dinner works good for me and is super easy. Have a great day!

Alison
