I love your gameplay, Skinny!  Now we just have to find a way to stick to it, come hell or high water, until you cross that finish line.  Yes it will be hard to fend off temptations along the way, but it will be SO WORTH it in the end!  We are all in this together cheering for one another!

Yep.  So if you feel like tonight’s dinner, after 5 bites, wasn’t enough, fill up on the memory of all the food (extra food) you ate during Thanksgiving.  Think of all the different flavors.  Taste the white meat and the dark meat again–with cranberry sauce, of course!  Re-taste everything in your mind, and I think you’ll find it surprisingly filling!

Great.  Start as quickly as you can.  That first perfect 5-bite meal sets all of the wheels in motion, and it’s downhill from there.  But executing that first perfect meal is the hard part.  Skip breakfast and be perfect for lunch.  Then you are perfectly back on track.  You WILL feel so relieved.  You got this!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Yes, today is a free day.  But be smart … be reasonable.  You won’t have fond memories of this Thanksgiving if you way overeat.   I give the same recommendation every year:  Taste everything, finish nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Right.  So now that the day is over and all is said and done, were the extra  bites worth it at all?  Absolutely not!!  Remember this experience the next time you are tempted by food that’s just sitting there.

Good, Skinny!  Remember that this process is a journey of learning.  Learning about carbon, it’s metabolism, and the serious effects of accumulating excess fat.  It’s about learning how to eat less–a TON less–and learning that the body doesn’t need a single thing until the fat is gone.  (Save a multivitamin here and there.)  It’s also a proc…[Read more]

I love all of that Chloe, especially the part about posting daily to keep yourself accountable!

Indeed!  Colds DO kill your appetite, and all you should be taking in is water until the cold goes away.  MOST people, though, feel that eating somehow, someway makes them get better faster.  It doesn’t!!  It might make them feel better at that moment, but even then, food when you are sick isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.  Best thing: take…[Read more]

You are doing AWESOME!!  I love it!!

 Thanks for the plug, Chloe.  Unfortunately, no one showed up tonight.

I love that!  It sounds like you are doing great.

Right!  I want you to think just like you did: we are simply trying to survive each day until we finally cross that finish line.  GREAT!

Great job!!

Wasn’t that an amazing feeling, Skinny?!  I mean–AWESOME!!!!

I love it!  Thanks for the clarification!

70 is a way to live/method of living?  Sorry … I don’t get the reference.

Good job, Skinny.  Whatever your pace of weight loss is, it is!  The point is that as long as you are moving forward, you WILL cross that finish line at some point.  Yes, it might take awhile, so just focus on the process.  Focus on how much [fun!] it is to BE ABLE to stop after just 5 bites!  I can recall that when I was losing weight myself I wo…[Read more]

Here’s to a big weight-loss week, as I raise my cup ‘o joe!

Great insights!!

Right, BK!  Sort of what Chloe and I talked about tonight.  Good luck just throwing everything away after that 5th bite.  The reality is that you are not being forced at gunpoint to eat that sixth bite.  There’s no constitutional law that states you have to.  You just have to find a way to break all habitual chains tying your to food and set your…[Read more]
