Great.  Last week is history.  Done.  Do you remember much of that food today?  Nope.  So were the extra bites with it?  Nope.  But what’s done is done, and we start fresh today.

Again, though (and please never forget this), life is simply AMAZING when you are thin.  Simply incredible.  

Right.  Your only focus right now should be on the bright blue ribbon at the finish line.  It’s a brand-new day and the start of a spectacular life.  One that very few people get to experience.  The extra food, frankly, just isn’t worth it.  Not even close.  So shake the dust off and start again with determination, never slowing down until you b…[Read more]

Awesome!  I can’t wait until June 17 then!

Love it!  And you are wearing clothes!

Great work!  Tomorrow will be a good day too!

But just think, Pia, that come Monday you will be kilos less than all of your reveling friends.  Will you indulge in such parties again?  Of course!  But when you do, you will be SKINNY and the envy of the party!!

Great job so far, Kristina!  The hardest part, believe it or not, is over.  Tomorrow will be tough, but I think you will find it a tad easier.  You’ve got this, and we are all behind you 100%!!  Hang in there!!

Hi Kristina!  I like your plan.  Now, use every bit of will to execute it perfectly.  I’m here to help.  You’ve got this!!

I love those reasons to come back to the diet, Piad!  I would second all of them!!

Thanks for sharing all of that, Shelly.  I feel everything that you are feeling.  I might add this:  being hungry, right now, is a feeling that you can own and, crazy enough, enjoy.  It’s a feeling that only you get to experience, and you are voluntarily accepting it.  Food will only make your stress worse in the long run.  So, instead, welco…[Read more]

Brilliant, Less!!  

Fantastic!  You are doing great!!  I am SO EXCITED for you, BK!!!  Let’s do it again, OK?!

Hi Afrodite!  Indeed: Welcome!

The actual oz size is not important; only that your five bites stay roughly the same, volume wise, for you.  So pick up a bar and start eating it.  Is it five bites for you?  A little more; a little less?  If it’s more than five bites, throw the rest away, and walla! … you are beginning to develop a sense of what…[Read more]

Right.  No amount of other food or of a greater amount of food will make you feel better for very long.  Worse, actually.  Much worse.  But, once the hunger pang ebbs, knowing that you stuck to the program, you will feel like a million bucks!  So hang in there guys!!!

Yes, great job Rachel!!

Indeed!–How are you both doing?

Great.  You’ve come this far.  Now, without changing a thing, can you keep it going for the whole day?

You were 105 in high school.  No one should ever weigh more than they did when they were in school.  So yes: your ideal weight should be 105.  The closer you are to 105 the healthier you are.   The difference between 115 and 105 might be small number wise in terms of health benefits, but the difference in knowing that you actually cross the fin…[Read more]
