I love it.  

Hi Inna.

Don’t worry about your husband at the moment.  You are on a crusade to help all of America.  So, at this gala, it is your responsibility to show everyone else there how to lose weight.  Be bold about it.  Imagine that you are on center stage and everyone there is paying very close attention to what you say and do.  Certainly, don’t let…[Read more]

Bitter sweet indeed!  Congratulations to your daughter; I’m so happy for her.

Remember, ALL cancer (including lymphomas) are fueled by fat.  The BEST way to prevent cancer is to get thin.  Health is what this weight-loss program is all about.  And if someone choses to get healthy, why stop short?  Go all the way!  Shoot for a BMI of 18.5!

OK.  But since you DID peek, have you lost as much as you were hoping to?

I like that: Remind yourself that this is the last time you will ever see that number on the scale.  

Exactly.  Too bad.  But be sure you don’t watch it with them!!  

But don’t!  (Don’t weigh yourself!).  I LOVE the fact that it’s killing you not to know what you weigh today, but that which burns inside you will help to keep you focused on the project.  It will also makes every day exciting, as you are 1 more day closer to your weekly weigh-in.   Just focus on the process–not the results.  The results will…[Read more]

Beautiful!  Sorry I’m late arriving–(how late am I?) .  But GREAT that you are here!

First, have you still been able to avoid the temptation to eat?  How long has you been doing the diet PERFECTLY?

You are right–just one measly week out of your entire lifetime.  That’s all I’m asking.  And if not THIS week, when?

 Keep it going!  

Yep.  I say that a lot!  

I’m cheering you guys on!  

Right.  Actually, eating is kind of exciting.  Can you eat the next meal perfectly?  It’s an exciting challenge, and so rewarding when you succeed.  Of course, to get started, I recommend Snickers only though.

Sure–Kit Kat–why not?!  

That’s plenty!

Brilliant!!

Also, Jessica:  Firstly, WELCOME!

Secondly, I LOVE the fact that you WANT to be thin.  That is a huge feather in your cap.  Believe it or not, most people do not want to be thin.  But when you combine the desire to be thin with the tools to get there, you have a formula for permanent success!  GREAT!!  

Right, but remember that the ultimate measure of health is the amount of fat on the body, particularly around the stomach.  So we’ll shoot for 95, then re-eval.  Jessica, if you still have excess fat around the belly, we go down to 90, then re-eval.  

I’d cut back even more!

Right.  More simply stated, “If you are overweight, there is no such thing as healthy food.”

Hi Letileit!  Right–you’ve done this before, and you understand the benefits of being thin.  They are far better than any amount of extra bites.  So, go for it!  Go hard, stay consistent, and let’s see how fast you can get back across that finish line.  Go back to Snickers!
