So excited for you, Polly! You definitely have the mindset you need.

Thank you! I don’t know about learning from me but I will do my best to be open and honest if anything!

I am lightheaded again today. Not sure why. I tested my blood sugar when I got lightheaded yesterday and it was 95 so not low. I have been down very low before (in the 40’s – yikes) so it’s not that though I like to test to be sure as I can…[Read more]

Okay so yesterday was half good, half not. I totally blew it at lunch and yet I exercised in the afternoon (I felt great this time) and pulled myself together at dinner for 10 bites. *Sigh* I don’t know why I play a mental game with myself. I was up 2 lbs this morning. I am sure it will go back down but it was frustrating. I won’t update my…[Read more]

Day by day is the way to go! Time passes so quickly and each healthy choice builds on another. Before you know it you will bE at goal.

Ok day 3 off slimming station and my 5 bites didn’t go as I planned as I had an unscheduled lunch with a friend, but instead of choosing a big meal and eating it I suggested a sharing board and I had 10 bites at once and chatted lots! Instead of picking and not counting, I put 10 things on my little plate and had that only! I’m concentrating on…[Read more]

The immediate results are so motivating. When I followed a national plan, the weight loss was so slow that I’d quickly drop out. If one lost more than 3-4 pounds in a week, one would receive a mild scolding. The last time I attended a meeting, I heard that fruit was deemed a “free” food, as much as you can hold! No, thank you. Keep at it, Chrissa,…[Read more]

These first few days of 5-biting are hard. It’s a big reduction in the volume of food most of us have been eating. If you have Dr. Lewis’s book, I’d suggest re-reading the parts about the “hungerstat.” It takes a bit of time to reset it, and being consistent with the volume of food we eat will help us achieve that. I’m feeling less hungry today,…[Read more]

It’s 21:12, just put the children to sleep and the day is officially coming to an end….

It’s been a really HARD day. The morning was easy because I had errands and kept myself busy with a nice walk outdoors, but i struggled with hunger all afternoon. Both physical and mental.

I wonder if that tea i’m drinking makes me hungry (It’s a…[Read more]

Yesterday was day 3 of setting my hungerstat. And even then, hunger was totally gone. Woo hoo!!

However, I struggled with strong desires to eat throughout the day. Mostly because I was feeling so tired and achy. I felt that food would relieve that feeling, but I think I was also wanting comfort from that feeling. (Old habits!)

I have no…[Read more]

Down 1.6 today; I’ll take it! Still fighting hunger. I hope after day 3, that’ll ease. Taking second bar of the day with a hot drink, so it feels more like a meal. We’re doing great! Carry on!

You’re doing great! And thank you for being a good role model!!
