Good recognitions, Chloe, and great job getting right back on track.  And I totally agree:  STAY AWAY FROM CANNABIS!

Great deal.  Now, actually try and stick to just 2 of those bars a day.  It’s tough.  It might seem as hard as some of your toughest workouts in the gym.  But the results are quick and they are spectacular.  So hang in there–you’ve got this!!!

Welcome back, Chloe!!  Awesome … I will help you master maintenance.  But first lets get back to your perfect weight.  Let’s go!!!

So, what are you planning on eating this week?

Michelle – I’m truly sorry about the stress circumstances going on in your life.  Might you want to send me a message (private message) and we can discuss it?

Congratulations, Beth!  I did miss you (and everyone else for that matter) last night, but I’ll take those results any day!!!

You’ve found it, and you are on your way!!  Congrats.  And I had nothing to do with it … it’s all you.  I’m going to cheer you on to the finish line!!

Still, down is down, Sean!  Keep up the great work, and fantastic state of mind!!  As you get thinner, you will get stronger, increase your endurance, become healthier, and become less and less hungry.  It’s a great path that you are on!!

Mondays, 6:00 PM PST.

Honestly, though, you did GREAT!  And don’t you feel really good right now?!  Keep up the great work!!

Actually, Beth and I had one on Monday.  Yes!  I hold them every week, but I’m usually the only one there.  (except for Beth.  Thanks Beth!!)

Great, and you are right: you HAVE been through much worse.  This diet is hard and frustrating at times, but you’ve been through much worse.  AND there is an end in sight.  AND, when you are in the groove (it takes just a few perfect days in a row to set your hungerstat), the diet because much easier–fun even!  Because you are filling up on foo…[Read more]

I love that.  And if you think that hunger is bad, or avoiding the temptation to eat extra food is too hard, think about the struggle of battling cancer.  Maybe that will help you to throw out the rest of the food.

Brilliant, Beth!!!  Let’s chat about it tonight, OK?

Be careful: too much diet soda WILL slow down your weight loss.  A can or two a day is fine, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.

Hi BK.  Back to basics:  You are serious about wanting to lose weight, right?  That’s why you are here, right?  You want to lose weight because you want to be thin (and all of the health benefits that go along with being thin), not because you don’t like the fat, right?

Then you’ve got to start enjoying–truly enjoying the process.  Enjoy and…[Read more]

Indeed!  Stress and anxiety are triggers for most people to eat, and eating makes you feel good–for a moment.  But then you feel even worse for hours to come!  I think the best stress reliever is to imagine yourself skinny, maximally healthy, and free of the stress you are feeling today.  Getting skinny WILL get you there, but until you are the…[Read more]

Great.  Live off of cheap, pre-packaged food.  Eat quickly, and throw everything away.  If you want to spend TIME eating, for it’s enjoyment, slowly sip on hot coffee or tea.  But this is a great opportunity to stick to the diet perfectly.  Again, imagine how incredible the finish line will feel.  What are you waiting for?

Yes!  Absolutely.  It gets easier and easier.  I’m so happy–and excited–for you and your future!!

Also, Beth, taking baths (long baths–really, really long baths) are great.  Walking (slowly, sort of a lazy meander) is great too, if you do it for a LONG time.  Books, long movies are all great.  Anything to occupy time and take your mind off your stomach and off of food.
