Hi Danica!  Welcome back!!!  I can’t wait to watch you cross the finish line!!  

Al

Yes!  I love that you love being hungry!     Being hungry = delaying gratification = guaranteed success!

Sounds fine.  Bottom line: if that schedule works for you, GREAT!  

YAY!  What time to you usually go to bed?  What time do you have dinner?

Welcome back, Rachel!  I’m so glad to see you again.  You are right!: Just imagine all the time you will add back to your life when you finally cross that finish line.  It is SO worth it … as hard as it might be at times.  So good for you; you’ve stumbled, but you aren’t quitting.  And you are here to finish this journey.  Let’s do this!…[Read more]

You are brilliant, Meri!!!  I am SO EXCITED!!!  

So, Meri … how are things going TODAY?

Great!    

I love it!  

Sure thing.  Literally, right above this thread that you started you will see the thread, “Upcoming Chats and Archived Chats.”  Click on that.

Welcome!  I can’t wait to see how you do!

Right, Letileti!  I totally agree!  Eat spectacular and complex flavors, but just taste it.  Experience it.  Then toss it.  You get to repeat this fun process at every meal, the number of which is seemingly limitless given your now-longer-and-better life!  

Great!  I like that idea!

And, particularly the next few days, LOOK FORWARD to being hungry.  Make it a game–a challenge–to see just how much hunger your body can generate.  Try and become hungrier than you’ve ever been in your entire life!  Then note how the hunger comes and goes in waves, and how dramatically the amplitude of those waves fal…[Read more]

Great!  Then the challenge is set!  

I will echo everything above: my thoughts and prayers are with you, Marie!  

YES!!!  I love it!!!!      

Because, frankly, water does nothing to stimulate your senses.  It has no taste, no smell, no texture (i.e. no carbon).  So drink it on ice (or HOT) to stimulate your temperature fibers.  But again, there is no need to force yourself to drink.  But if you get thirsty, water is your go-to.  I do recommend, though, getting a few cups of coffee in every day.

Wonderful!!  I CAN’T WAIT to follow your progress here.

If you stick to that commitment, I can promise you that you can be 110, if you want, and get there relatively quickly.  If you were to stick to the program perfectly, you could be 110 in 2 months.  So go for it!!!  Just remember: any extra bites that you might entertain eating along the way…[Read more]

I really don’t want you to have your 10 bites at once.  It turns your hungerstat too high.  Keep it at 5 please.  It is FAR better to have 5 bites twice a day, separated by at least 4 hours, then 10 at once.  But, stay strong and fight the urges to eat later today.  Tomorrow is a new day!!  

How is today going, Corey?
