I like that, Katie: … “one bar closer after each meal!”

Right, Pia.  Our secret society is composed of people who are (or will be soon) super skinny and super healthy.  We are it.  Look around.  No body else seems to know what we do.  Isn’t it great to be part of this community?  

Right, Gayle!!  The holidays are RIGHT AROUD THE CORNER!  Did you hear yourself:  …” merely around the corner”?  There is NO TIME to delay.  NO MORE PROCRASTINATING!

Welcome back, Gayle!

You are right–you just have to trust me.  Get to 113 and report back.  You are going to feel like the sun just came up.  THIS is where your body was meant to be, and you’ll just feel it.  Prove me wrong!  

Great job, Georgia.  You lost weight the first day, true, but how did you feel when you woke up this morning?  Pretty amazing, right?  Aren’t you happy that you stuck to the diet as you did yesterday?  

I’m really excited for you!  

Right.  I don’t recommend eating any particular kind of food over another.  Protein and fat food do not fill you up more than other food–it’s just a volume thing.  Your body is seeking a certain volume.  I want to reset that to 5 bites-worth, then keep it there until you are done.  The actual make-up of that food is irrelevant.  So eat whate…[Read more]

You are doing GREAT!!     I love it!!

Hi Michelle!  Welcome back.  Yep!  You are in the right place.  Hang on to those thoughts that brought you back, and let’s do this right now.  As hard as this diet is, it’s much harder to prolong the process, so eat perfectly.  We’ve all got your back.  Let’s do this!

So, what are you planning to eat this week?

That’s a great start, Ladies!  Go for it!  One day at a time–one meal at at time.  You’ve got this!

Your plan, Katie, is perfect.  But you WILL get there a lot sooner than 40 days.  But just focus on the next meal–the next bar.  Make it to 12.  Enjoy every bite of your bar.  Taste it.  Savor it.  Then throw the wrapper away, and find a way to pass time until 5:00.  Repeat.  If you get hungry in-between bars, remind yourself why you are on this…[Read more]

Great.  Now, after the fact, is your life any less complete because you didn’t give in an eat?   NO!  In fact, it’s a WHOLE LOT BETTER ALREADY!      Keep up the great work!

Food is always tempting, but it’s enjoyment is SO SHORT LIVED.  Don’t give in!  So, practice distraction.  Stay away from food as much as you can.  Throw everything away.  Right now ALL of your attention should be on getting to the finish line, and only then can you  re-engage in life’s normal routines.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions, Chloe!  You are a superstar!!  

Yes!  That’s it, Katie!  How are you feeling?  

Absolutely beautiful, Rachel!  That is music to my ears1  Congratulations!!  

Fantastic!  It sounds like you are out of the gates with a bang!  Focus all the time, Katie.  Focus on the hunger coming, and then recognize it when it goes.  When it’s there, focus on every aspect of the hunger that you can think of, from it’s size to it’s movement to it’s color.  Corner the hunger in from all sides with your mind.  All of the s…[Read more]

Great!  Then go all the way.  Have a multivitamin and coffee for breakfast, a Snickers bar for lunch, another one for dinner, and do it perfectly for 1 week.  Can you?
