Gayle … you must be CLOSE!!  

Hi, Shelly!

How well did you manage the weekend?

Hi, Shelly!

How well did do manage the weekend?

Even though I am already skinny and can eat a lot, I still love the feeling of undereating.  There is something unique and magical about it.  I love being able to do what I know others cannot.  Obviously, if I fall below the threshold where I don’t want my body to go, I eat more, but I love BEING ABLE to eat less.  Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE foo…[Read more]

Wonderful, LM!  And great to meet you!  I love your determination and commitment.  So now, it’s just you and us.  No one else in the world exists; or if they do, they are not on your side.  They are trying to keep you overweight.  So DO put your blinders on (except when you come here) and work you way through each day, one at a time.  Eat two ba…[Read more]

2 pounds in 2 days.  Great!  Just imagine, Lynda, where you would be if you did THE EXACT SAME THING for … what? … just 2 months!  Put in the perspective of the rest of living days on this planet, two months is absolutely nothing!!  Before the end of November you would be in the body of a supermodel.  Extraordinary health.  And would you reall…[Read more]

And mostly, (say it again and again), you LOVE SKINNY!!!  

I really like the idea of journaling, Shelly.  Try to write down EVERYTHING you eat, and journal how it tasted.  If a bite didn’t taste as good as you though it would, jot that down too.  And then keep the weight diary, where you weigh yourself 5x a day.  Tracking all of this data will help to keep you on track.

Lofty, perhaps, but not nearly as lofty as you will feel.  So go for it.  I’m rooting you on!  

Christine–two days have passed–how are you doing today?  Are you still feeling motivated?  Are you still losing at a good rate?

Pia–that’s kind of the idea of eating the same food over and over for a week or so.  I typically recommend Snickers, but it could be anything.  If you really like grilled cheese sandwiches, for example, try having 5 bites of one for every meal for a week.  It won’t be long before you realize all the bites taste the same–they always have and th…[Read more]

Great, Michelle!  I hope this opens up new opportunities for you.  But nothing opens up more opportunities than being the skinniest and healthiest person in the office.  You’ve got this.   Find a way to stick to a bar–or five bites of food–and you’ll be there really fast!  Don’t wait around!  

Gayle–to break this “plateau” that you are on (around 118) you have to be PERFECTLY PERFECT.  Otherwise you are going to have a hard time moving the needle.  Just imagine how good life is going to be when you are all done, and make the decision this very moment to leave 118 behind you, never to see it again.  And when you chose to leave 118 be…[Read more]

Great job, Georgia.  You are really experiencing the 5-bite lifestyle.  It doesn’t last forever, so enjoy it PERFECTLY while you can.  

I absolutely love your present frame of mind.  Love it.  Just keep it going hour by hour, day by day.  

Right, Sharon.  The diet is the epitome of simple and freeing.  When you just do it, everything falls into place and makes sense.  So, to everyone out there:  Just make the commitment and tough it out until your hungerstat resets.

Yes!  And you will deserve every square inch of it (even though there will be fewer inches of it).

Just a fun fact:  I won a pie eating contest in college (I represented all of Revelle at UCSD!) eating a lemon meringue pie.  As much as I love them, they were never quite the same since.  

YES!!!     I LOVE it, Katie!!!

I really like those, Gayle!  Baths are great–they can consume a lot of time, and they don’t involve food.  GREAT!
