Right on.  Good luck and stay strong!  Just remember that when the crazy weekend is over you won’t remember but a handful of bites, but if you fall of your game plan you will regret it–big time.  And ONLY you know how it feels to be you.  So put on a smile at all of these events and fight off the temptation to eat.  Enjoy the company and the circ…[Read more]

You are in a great position, Chloe!  

I love it.  And there is NOTHING you are missing out on by having just Snickers.  Anything you are missing out on you can have when you are in your spectacular new body!!  

I’m excited for you too!!  

This is all great advice!  

Yep!  You can and you will, Chloe!  

I agree.  Don’t give up.  Hang in there.  But let me emphasize this again:  eat an EXACT amount of food, and eat EXACTLY twice a day.

I love that!!  

I love it BK!  And a perfectly-set hungerstat is an amazement to be experienced!  

Yes, yes, YES!!!!  You’ve got it!!!  

I really like it, Susan!!    Imagery helps to keep your ultimate goal real and keeps you focused on your eating plan until you are there.  

I love it, Christina!  You are exactly right!  There will be plenty [more chances than you otherwise would have had] opportunities to eat that in the future.  For now, being on the path you are is MUCH more exciting and filling.  There’s simply nothing like it!!  

I doubt that the carbonated water, by itself, is the culprit.  But, as I always suggest, try sticking to plain flat water and black coffee or tea exclusively.

I LOVE that idea.  Also, try employing some of the concepts I sent you in your message box.  

Right.  Don’t stress, Marie–just go with it.  If you’re not eating, you’re not pooping, and that”s a GREAT thing!  But I’d be super aware of liquids that contain carbon.  Liquids other that water and black coffee won’t supply material for a bowel movement, but will absolutely fill up your fat stores (or keep you from losing).  

Indeed: WELCOME!!!  You are right on track.  And it gets even easier; simply don’t change a thing until that extraordinary day when you cross the finish line!  I can’t wait!!!  

YES, YES, YES!!!  You HAVE found the gear.  Now that you’ve found it, don’t let it go!  It WILL take you to the finish line–FAST!!!  

Rebekah — I’m on right now!!!  Come join me!!!

Right.  All of the above is true.  Don’t put too much credit into your scale.  They can be very misleading.  But if you are having a bowel movement once or twice a week, you are doing GREAT!  Just stick to the plan and off the scale (but once a week for your weigh-in).
