Awesome, Rachel!  Welcome!  I’m so happy you’re here!

Yes, we have been slow at the beginning of this year.  But you and I will start this season off on a bang!

Out of curiosity, which Facebook group are you involved in?  Why do you think they couldn’t help you hold yourself to account?

I look forward to your responses on the message I sent you…[Read more]

Great job, Gayle!  Honestly, doesn’t it feel great?  What amount of food–that you’ve already tasted–is better than that?!

NO!!!  Why would you increase your bites to allow more bites of anything?  The extra bites of vegetables do nothing for you: you are already taking a multivitamin, and if you are looking for extra fiber, take metamucil.  But the carbon in those extra bites of vegetables become the exact same fat as if they were extra bites of bacon or pizza.  A…[Read more]

Great job, and CONGRATULATIONS!!

That is so true!  I love it!!!

Great job, Amy!  This is getting FUN!!

How is the hunger?

Great first week, Amy!  And doesn’t it feel unbelievable to actually eat less than your allotted 10 bites per day?  You are nailing this!!

Your jeans are just one of the many benefits of getting thin.  PLEASE fill up on the image of you wearing those jeans around, and keep up your great mindset.  You are going to do great!!

Great job, Neil!  Come join me on the chat, if you so desire!

Right, Sharon!  Great job.  Remember, eating is entirely under your own control.  Eat if you want, don’t if you want.  If you truly want to get to your goal, don’t eat (much–5 bites!), and it will happen …  FAST!!

Brilliant!  Doesn’t it feel amazing to have gotten through a weekend on a diet?  Do you wish today that you had eaten more?  Of course not!!  Great job!

Exactly, Neil!  Doing the diet 100% right makes you feel SO MUCH better than the food–or any amount of food–ever could!

I agree with that, Gayle.  Momentum is a powerful, important force that can help us reach our goal.  As important as it is to really want to be thin, and as important as it is to control hunger, and as important as it is to be able to delay gratification, momentum can keep us going when all seen and unforeseen forces are working to thwart our p…[Read more]

OMG, Amy.  If you haven’t been able to stick to a diet through the weekend in YEARS, then ABSOLUTELY do it this week!  If for no other reason but to say you actually stuck to a diet PERFECTLY through a weekend!  It’s just 2 days.  You can definitely do this!!

Neil–I’m curious, why the bump?  What did you eat?  How many bites?  Why?

Yes they will!  I LOVE the fact that you were ravenous.  You are doing it!!  You are resetting your hungerstat!  Skinny and healthy, here you come!!!!

Right.  Make the choice to follow through on this extraordinary commitment.  That non-alcoholic beer–did it taste good?  Did it taste any different than another other non-alcoholic beer that you’ve ever had?  Do you think it will be better/worse than any alcoholic beer you will have next year?  Then why drink one now?  It just serves no purpo…[Read more]
