It is hard, and it takes learning and practice.  That’s why we are here!

Few key things: try and stay away from places where food is being cooked.  Aromas in the air are an overwhelming challenge if you are not a five-bite expert.  Initially after eating your 5 bites you may still be hungry, but remember that the hunger WILL go away quickly.  I…[Read more]

Hi Susan!

Keep these data going.  You are doing great.  There may be some inconsistencies in your scale, but not bad.  Let’s see what a few more days show us!

GREAT!!!  

Great, Susan.  Do a weight diary, that I have described numerous times on this site.  Specifically, weigh yourself first thin in the morning before going to the bathroom, then after going to the bathroom and dressed for the day, then after lunch, then after dinner, then right before climbing in bed.  Let’s follow those numbers and we should be ab…[Read more]

The single best tip for getting over the first three days is DESIRE.  You have to really want to start this extraordinary journey.  It’s exiting!  It’s fun!  And it starts off HARD!  So, you have to want it above most other things.  THEN, once you decide that being hungry doing away with the fun of eating are no big deal, you are on your way.…[Read more]

Thank you, Rebekah!  As proud as you are of your success to this point, PLEASE finish this journey.  It will be the best thing you ever do!

Great!!  

No problem, but good job!

That’s amazing.  I feel that you are in the perfect groove.  It feels absolutely fantastic, doesn’t it?

Thank you for your well wishes.  I did not have an emergency, but just got home too late to chat.  I feel horrible.

Love it!!  

Again, Cassondra, a month from now you won’t remember a single bite of food that you will eat this next week.  Might as well eat nothing but Snickers!

Beautiful.  Now, seriously, no more peeking, OK?  As the building curiosity burns inside you, use that energy to maintain your laser focus!  

Indeed.  Susan–are these Keurig pods?

Yes!  I love it!
