And that’s what I’ve always wondered about — the fact that if the people who have bariatric surgery don’t change their thought patterns about food and eating, they really never conquer the demon because techically an outside force is keeping them from not eating and not really themselves. I lost a lot of weight…[Read more]

I forget that someday I’ll be able to eat more food – but that scares me, too. What if I can’t stop. But I know I can because I have. And it’s amazingly easy.

Just hang in there this time. Just get past the first few bumpy days and you’ll be just fine! I realized how much food I ate that I didn’t even really like or even really taste. Such a waste — like the money I’ve wasted on things, too, over the years! I found I really appreciate the taste of food so much more now.…[Read more]

But I found if I just stuck with it and stayed very focused and made sure my bites weren’t too big, I would lose more the next week. I made it through Thanksgiving pretty well but I was so glad when I woke up this morning knowing I controlled myself yesterday.

Good luck!

I am also so thankful for finding Dr. Lewis’ remarkable program and the weight I’ve lost (almost 40 pounds).

Linda- some weeks I’ve only lost 2 pounds a week but it is so amazing as the weeks go by and the weight is just still dropping. If I had tried to do this (AGAIN) on Weight Watchers it would have taken me…[Read more]

Today I had a Snickers bar for lunch and one steak taco from Baja Fresh (4 bites) and 2 chips for dinner.

What a great start and it will help you keep up the momentum. I love your comment: "So keep trying is all I can suggest, eventually we get sick of ourselves and actually do it." That’s really the bottom line.Post edited by: Violette, at: 2008/11/23 01:31

And congratulations on your fantastic weight loss. And you are so right about the immediate gratification and the psychology behind reaching the optimal level of motivation. This has been life changing for me to finally have me in control of the food — the food not controlling me. I’m glad your husband loves the idea of…[Read more]

I don’t think they gave you a fair chance to explain the theories behind your program. It’s such a radical new idea that people have a knee-jerk reaction without listening. The nutritionist and the other gentleman (I think he was a doctor as well?) weren’t listening either. Not sure why they were there. I wish they would have…[Read more]

I’ve already set my DVR and can’t wait to see it. Didn’t know if I should start a thread about this – but wanted to comment on this.

I’ll have that for dinner. At work sometimes I heat up one of those packages of Ronzoni Bistro pastas. They are really small portions so I just eat five bites and throw away the rest. They…[Read more]

In my opinion, what you did is much more admirable and commendable because your boss can LITERALLY not eat more than 5 bites or so or he’ll just get sick and lose it whereas you did it all on your own power — and with Dr. Lewis’ encouragement…!Post edited by:…[Read more]

For lunch I went to a lunch meeting with colleagues and I haven’t had steak for a long time so I ordered steak. It came with lots of french fries and a big salad.

I am so fortunate that I live near Burbank and am able to see Dr. Lewis in person. He is so enthusiastic and inspiring.
