Yes! That sounds perfect!

My favorite candy bars are probably Reese’s peanut butter cups or Hershey’s or kit Kay or Twix. Could I do one of those?

You know? I think a different bar would help! I don’t really like nuts with chocolate. But what about the protein? Do I need to find a way to get that in with one of the bars somehow? I guess I could do one snickers and something else for my second one…

Thank you Dr Lewis! I am doing the snickers bars. I’m like them okay, but definitely not my favorite candy bar,  although I do like candy bars in general. One snickers bar will last for maybe 1 hour or so. Hunger and cravings are quite strong but I’m going to trust and hope that they subside after day 3!

Thank you so much. Your words are so helpful. I have read the book. Twice. But maybe I need to go back over some sections. I think what it comes down to is I just need to make a commitment for 3 days and then hopefully it won’t feel like such an intense inner battle. I am so insanely addicted to food. I just went through an awful divorce after a…[Read more]

Okay. So, I have a strange question to ask. Since I am struggling to keep my bites strictly at 5, I wondered if the answer to this question might help me.

When I was doing a low carbs diet a few years ago, I was so worried about accidentally eating carbs because of the idea of having to “get back into ketosis”. I even once dreamed that I ate an…[Read more]

Thank you so much Dr. Lewis and Gayle. So helpful! I’m still hanging in there. I did go over my bites last night. But I didn’t go crazy. I’m back on today. Doing well so far.. .

Day 2

Feeling kind of tired and a little bit of a headache. But not too bad. Happy that I stuck with it. I had a weird thought today when I was having some intense cravings. I thought, “all I have to do is control my hands, I don’t need to worry about the chatter in my head, just my hands.” (since I use my hands to eat).  It’s kind of a strange…[Read more]

Gayle,

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. You have no idea how much that helps! It most definitely is a mindset. I can see that now. This is day 2 for me. And everything in me is screaming to quit. But I won’t. I’m going to make it through today. I’ll report back tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so ready to be done with…[Read more]

Ok. I will just focus on just the next meal then. Tomorrow at noon. Thank you so much. Don’t give up on me yet!

Well,  I ended up at a social thing yesterday and I thought I could handle it. Turns out I couldn’t. Then I have struggled to get back on today. Ugh! I have over 100 pounds to lose and it just feels so overwhelming I guess. If I stayed really strong, how long would it take me to lose 100 pounds? Maybe it would help me to have an end date.

Thank you!

Day 5

Starting weight 247.          current weight 238

It is definitely getting so much easier. I’m struggling with having a few extra bites here and there. But I haven’t allowed it to derail me like it has in the past. I’m going to try for a perfect day today.

I’m in too! But I can’t seem to post a picture from my phone. I don’t know why. I’ll keep trying!
241 pounds today.

Thank you everyone! Thanks Dr. Lewis. Yes! I will do the bars for a week. I will make a new topic for my journey and post my scale pictures every day. I think that will help me.

My name is Brenda. Thank you so so much for the support! I think I’m going to post my journey and weight each day to keep me accountable. I’ve never done anything like that before, kind of embassing that I have let myself get so out of control. I have turned to food for comfort and security and stability and have put on 40 pounds in one year. Ugh.…[Read more]
