Activity

Thank you for checking, Design Diva. It was not going well . . . :blush: I even let my membership expire for awhile.

But I’m back, ready to try again. I WILL do this!

Today will be my day 1, and it will be PERFECT.

I fully intend to lose 10 pounds this week!!

I will be posting for every meal for accountability and journaling here to stay…[Read more]

Great job, Corey!

LOVE your jeans strategy. That sounds very motivating!!

Shelley I think that we are just an healty minded person as the SUPER SKINNY ones.

You just have strong bad habits to break down.
That’s it!

Very simple. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cravings are strong powefull BUT they are just cravings!

Simple brain demands.
View in phisiological way.
Normal reactions to tummy fat melting away.

I would not…[Read more]

Wowwww Shelly I have just finished to look at your chat of August 4d, 2014.

You were so HAPPY and PROUD of yourself. Lost 6 pounds and telling that you did not recognize yourself when you passed in front of a mirror.

That’s you Shelley!

Lunch and Dinner Snickers.

Planning to go on.

Trying to do it PERFECTLY as a piano player would do doing his exercises.

Today I enjoyed so much my Snicker bars.

My head was dizzling around ….why not having 3 bars intead of two.

Silly thoughts!

What would another bar join to my experience?

Nothing except for fat!

Corey, you seem you are doing GREAT!
I watched your video.
You are doing really GREAT.

Day 10….

So far, so good. Had my coffee and vitamin, set out my 2 bars for the day. Biggest victory- I put my scale away for the week. Going to try to commit to not weigh in until next Monday. Last week was hard. This week seems to be a little easier.

Let’s restart journaling.

After 2 days out of sight, on Sunday I restarted with Snickers x 2.

I only have a very low PA (82/50) and my GP adviced me to take 10 gouts of GUTRON.

That’s good to know. I seem to need it alot.

Corey, You can chew sugar free gum. I do it all the time.
Dr Lewis said if you don’t swallow it, it doesn’t put any carbons in your stomach.
I like to use Spearmint gum whenever I get the hunger pains. That and hot tea.

Thanks!

Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. This past week of not weighing myself daily has been really hard with the not knowing, but a bit of a relief of not seeing the scale go up and down, or losing .2 instead of an entire pound or 2. I have been visiting the jeans I purchased in my other bathroom every day to keep myself on track, along…[Read more]

Great job Corey!!
That is a huge accomplishment and an excellent jump too this size now.
Keep it up…pretty soon they will fall off and you will need a belt.

Sharlet, Thank you for your input.
I had to find the trigger that was causing me to eat.
It’s not just an excuse. It’s an emotional problem and we all have them.
I think 5 bite would be more successful if people could figure out their triggers. I just finished Day 4 and it was perfect.

Woke to the most excellent surprise! Decided to try on the jeans I marked for 8/4 and found not only could I button them, but zip them as well! They didn’t fit very well, but they were on after a week of 5 bites (5 days if I’m being totally honest). My new goal for the 4th is to have them fit.

Im sorry this photo posted sideways. Not sure how to fix it

OA has helped me alot. My doctor said i do not have an eating disorder and dont need OA.
BUT i have learned a lot about my eating binges.. I finally made it past day 3. And its seems easier now thanks to Beth. LEARN TO SAY NO’
She helped me figure out “i have to stop doing…[Read more]

Fine. Did 2 bars a day make you nauseous? I can’t imagine that 1 bar a day makes that much of a difference. But, you will feel uneasy, perhaps, whenever your body starts to break down a new depot of fat.

HI HT …

First, you didn’t need the saltines–water would have been fine. But the extra salt does cause water retention (in the short run) so that is probably why the scale isn’t moving much. But, just to finish this thing once and for all, why not go back to bars? One for lunch, one for dinner, and that’s it. Water and coffee. You’ll be…[Read more]

An 8 is currently my goal. I am really hoping to be an 8 by the end of this year. I guess that I can keep going after that.

I actually like that … because when you bought the size 14 you also bought the size 8. I think I would have preferred it more if you had bought all the way down to size 2; I don’t want you to stall when you are in your size 8’s because you don’t have skinnier jeans to work into.

Keep those pants in plain sight! That will help keep it so firmly in your mind why you want the end result.

I have! I hung my 16s on my bedroom door with a sign as to when I want to fit into them. I also went to Goodwill today and purchased 1 pair from size 14 down to a size 8. Going to put up a new goal pair as…[Read more]
