I loved the chat with Dr Lewis and Megan.
All the doubts and confusion have kept me from loosing.
(not an excuse, it is the truth)

Megan said a lot of things that I say to myself or someone else says to me all the time.
Doubts:
My metabolism slows down if I don’t eat 6 small meals a day.
If I eat breakfast I will increase my metabolism.
I need to…[Read more]

Right, Shelly. Be sure to take care of yourself. Killing yourself doesn’t improve the health of your loved ones.

I was extremely over tired. And had some PTSD from it. But we went to hawaii the next week and enjoyed my time with my family. Im at 184 but have gone down two sizes in a short.

Thank you sharon marie.
My 17 mth old granddaughter was admitted tuesday to the hospital. 4 specialist working on her. Finger has an infected bone and joint.

The last 2 days have been stressful. Not letting a 17 month eat or drink anything until 4 pm is impossible Because the ortho specialist dropped her case after the mri we had to take…[Read more]

Thanks Dr Lewis,
It has been much easier to do 5 to 7 bites for lunch and dinner of Whole Foods and not have the craving at night.
It helps me if I understand how my body works (the craving and binging for carbs)
Because I started thinking I had a severe eating disorder and now I understand it.

Fine Shelly, if that’s what you…[Read more]

This has been an answer from God to me

I know now why i binged in the evenings
1. I was tired
2. I ate carbs and sugar during the day. Even a snickers set me

So this is why i turn to carbs
So why do we crave high-carbohydrate foods such as pasta, candy bars or cinnamon buns? These refined, or processed, carbohydrates give us an immediate…[Read more]

I just watched last night’s chat.
I’m sorry you lost a friend to anorexia.
I was wondering how many people you know who have died from heart disease, diabetes complications, or cancer?
Those are the diseases we should fear.
Let’s lose this weight and live long and healthy lives.

Great point
Thank you
I dont know anyone who has…[Read more]

More relaxed today. I have a lot of pain from helping my daughter move.
But staying home, resting, taking Aleeve.

I have my sugar free spearmint gum, sugar free bubble yum, my hot tea and ice water. Will try warm water if I need it.
Lunch will be half of a monterey burrito. It is Something hot with a lot of protein and satisfies me.

It’s so…[Read more]

I ended up skipping lunch. I just couldn’t eat. I did have five bites at dinner. I just can’t get this weight off soon enough.

Tomorrow is a new beginning for me.
I took a 3 hour nap today. I’m ready to spend time on me.

Boundaries still need to be learned but I am starting right now with a new day and not taking care of or moving anyone in with me again.
I could cry because I feel a huge sense of relief..

After reading Dr Lewis Book again…
I’ve decided to journal…[Read more]

Dr Lewis,
I like what you just said:
be afraid to eat too much for awhile. I’m good with that. Just a few bites for lunch, a few bites for dinner.

Be afraid to eat or realize what it will do to your body. I needed that.
Thank you.

today we moved my daughter, her husband to be, and 16 mth old granddaughter out of our house and into to their new home I feel such a sense of calmness snd relief. All their clutter is gone. All the cooking and cleaning is minimal.

I feel like i can accomplish anything now. I can take care of just me.
SO HAPPY
