Yay! 

That’s awesome that you’re still losing! Yes! Let’s keep going and focus on each meal being perfect! We can do it   

I’ve had a tough week, but I haven’t gained anything, but I haven’t lost much past the 10lbs that I lost last week. I was asked to do a fitness class a few times a week and it just started and I’m finding afterwards I’m ravenous – I’ve caught myself and was able to stop, but it’s not helping with my weight loss it’s just making me hungrier lol.

That’s awesome Pia!!! You’ve got this 

That’s fantastic! That must have felt amazing leaving a heavy feast weekend knowing that you lost weight instead of gaining!  way to go Pia!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Excited that today is back to a regular routine around here and there is no one around to try tempt me with food. I had a pretty great first week back. My plan for today is a cup of tea in the morning, snickers for lunch and snickers for dinner. How did everyone do over Easter weekend?

Feel better soon Pia

That’s awesome Pia! You’re so right! Let’s make today perfect  

You’re welcome Pia

Great idea Pia about distracting yourself with other things to do. Dr Lewis is so right you’re not missing out… you can still eat whatever you want, but just those 5 bites. You just have to somehow convince yourself that to be true. I like his description on how the subsequent bites lose their flavourful effect. You’ve got this Pia!  :yah…[Read more]

Way to go Pia! Everything you mentioned sounds so delicious! Great job sticking to five bites! How did you feel afterwards? I live in Canada, so we got a whole lot of cold weather and I feel the same way in the winter as you  I find it empowering to turn good away food these past few days – I really feel in control once again! It’s An am…[Read more]

Thank you Pia You are so right, today is a new day and so make today perfect instead  I do think it’s great to see how you can learn from what did happen ~ once you get in the grove of it, it will become much easier to turn up food or just stop after 5 bites. I’ve been doing snickers bars, because it always works great for me :yah…[Read more]

Yes! Let’s get skinny! Yesterday was a great day ~ I stuck to my plan and feel much lighter this morning (even though It’s 3lbs gone), but this is the boost I needed to  reverse the damage done. I just need to get through the next day or two to set my hungerstat. Today’s plan is the same 2x snickers bars. One  for lunch and one for dinner and tea…[Read more]

That’s great! You’ve got this 

What about chewing gum instead? That way your mouth is busy and it may help curb excess eating. I’m thankful that I have no Easter engagements this weekend aside from a breakfast potluck, but I will be busy getting ready for the children’s performance, so I won’t need to be a part of it. Just focus one day at a time – you’re doing great! 

I know and I kept doing that as well for months now, but I think being here and having accountability helps. I’m only at day 1 of this journey, but I think half the battle is my mindset. I need to keep my head in the game and push for what I want and I know what I want is to be thin and to feel great about myself again and not to feel sluggish a…[Read more]

Oh Pia, I feel exactly the same way as you. Maybe we can cheer each other on. I know that once I get going it becomes almost effortless – we can do it Pia! We did it before and I know we can do it again

Yay! thank you Dr Lewis! Today is a brand new day  I woke up feeling hopeful and ready to get started. My plan for today is a cup of tea with stevia for breakfast and a multivitamin. Lunch and dinner will be a snickers bar and lots of water throughout the day

Thank you! Let’s do this  today is already finished, but tomorrow is a new day and I’m committed to just get it done  thank you for your support and encouragement especially since since I was feeling so ashamed of myself, but I know the first step is admitting the problem, picking myself up and now the follow through
