Thanks for sharing your burger story! It could be really hard in the moment sometimes, and something very primal gets the better of us. Yesterday I had a challenge with some emotional drama invading my life. With this particular person I have very porous emotional boundaries and it got the better of me. I need to work on my boundaries with this…[Read more]

Thanks, Dr. Lewis.  I’m SOOOO glad to be back!

Good morning!  Great plan Mel. Your food sounds yummy!  Glad you have found a routine that you like. I had a great day yesterday and am fasted this morning minus 2 cups of  black coffee with some stevia.  The plan for this first week back are bars only for 7 days. I’ll stick to 11 AM and 3 PM.  (I live in the Eastern Time Zone USA) I take my mult…[Read more]

Heather, reading your story was inspirational.  You are so close to your goal and it is quite impressive.  What a great chance to make such a change in your career and location all while being 40 lbs lighter.  And you are so young.  I’m 58 and just now  tackling this.  From where I stand, I can only wish I was that young when I found this amazi…[Read more]

Thank you Mel! Those old habits get us every time. No more old ways.   You are an inspiration too!

That’s funny!  I heard another mantra…”90% is a *itch, 100% is a breeze”. So true.  All-in is way easier that almost-in.

Welcome back Mel! I know you are going to have great success! We are here to cheer you on and watch you take the victory! We are in this together.

Welcome Heather!  This is a great place to be!  I know you are going to do this.  Congrats on your move and new career aspirations.
