It’s sounds great.  Of those Starbucks Egg Bites, how many do you get?  How many pieces of sushi do you eat?

Exactly right, Debra!  Even though it’s “only” 6 pounds, you are already deriving some of the wonderful benefits of being thin.  Enjoy the journey–every day is a little better ion some way than the previous day.  This is exciting!!

I agree!!

Yes indeed!!

That’s exactly it!!

Great job!!  Feels good to be so strong, doesn’t it?!

Got it.  Some studies have show that PATIENTS do better in warmer ICU climates, but I didn’t know what the policy was at your hospital.

Brilliant!!

Hi Debra.  I’m curious: you mentioned that it’s hot.  Do they keep the COVID unit warm at your hospital?  Do you know the degrees?

Wonderful, Deb!  So nice to meet you.  I love your motivation for losing weight.  OK!  Let’s do this!!!  Please answer the questions I sent you and we are off to the races!!!

Right, Samantha.  You may remember all of that extra food that you ate over the weekend for another day or two, but will you remember any of it in a month?  Not even close.  But will you enjoy being skinny?  Absolutely.  Remind yourself of these facts before you finish the food sitting in front of you at your next meal: 1.

And again …

Right.  Great.

Let me ask you about the EXTRA 5 bites, say, from yesterday’s lunch.  I’m not talking about the first 5 bites, but the last 5 bites.  Do you really remember them?  Specifically?  Were they any better than the first 5?  And if not, why have them?  If it’s a simple matter of excess hunger, well, just reset your hungerstat to 5!!

Brilliant again!  You are on such a roll!  Keep it going!!!

Great job, SJ!!  123 is the lowest you’ve been in awhile, no?  Doesn’t it feel great?  But mark my words:  The next 10-15 pounds that you lose will change your life.  It’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact that relatively little amount of excess weight can have on your body and your mind, but you will understand when you’ve expe…[Read more]

I love it!  Yes, I’ve registered to your channel.  Now, let’s do this!!

You started 2 days ago, right?  How is everything going so far?  Are you hungry?

If you are not satisfied with the extra weight, and that dissatisfaction is more important to you than the food sitting before you, then losing weight is not hard.  You just do it.  You simply 5-bite your meals until you are back at your goal.  But if eating (for hunger, taste, stress, etc) is more important to you than being skinny, then good luck.

Great, great, GREAT job!!

GREAT JOB, Samantha!!  Trust me: when you hit your goal, you will look back on the team happy hour that you skipped out on and you will be SO THANKFUL that you stuck to your guns.  Great work!!!

How did you do today, BK?
