Indeed.  Great job.  Just because you are going out doesn’t mean you can’t be PERFECT.  AND … when you are done losing weight, you can go back to the same restaurant and eat carelessly, if you want.  So there is NO REASON why you should eat more than 5 bites now.  Good luck!  

This is great, Chloe; thanks for sharing!  It goes along with my hunger exercise: focus on the hunger pain until it dissipates.  Focus on its size, its color, its location, its activity, etc.  Does the hunger have claws and teeth?  How many?  Is it snarling or making some other sound?  Then practice cornering it from all sides in your mind until…[Read more]

OK.  Right.

Great.  I think journaling is good.  It helps to keep you focused.  EVERYONE should journal here EVERYDAY!!!  

Yes–it’s more disturbing to feel stuffed.  Hunger is just hunger, and it goes away.  

Thanks for those great “rants,” Lynda!  I completely agree with you!

Remember, Alison: the key is to try and keep your bite sizes constant from one meal to the next, always taking in the same amount of food.

Great job guys!  

Yes Lynda: those realization and perspectives are the first step toward a new understanding of food.  I am really looking forward to the time when you WANT to throw most of your food away, especially with other people watching.  It’s all part of the learning process.  And don’t you doubt it: you WILL be thin.  Just keep placing one foot in fro…[Read more]

I love it!!!  

Then please, please, please join me tonight at the chat.  I think I can make it easier for you.  

Right … why not?   

Great job, AAL!  

Both forms of distraction are excellent.  Personally (and I do this a lot), I like to have a cup of coffee after dinner.  It will ABSOLUTEY kill any lingering hunger.  So, have five bites, then a cup of coffee, and you are good to go.  But you have to be the type that can then fall asleep.  

Brilliant!  

Isn’t it great!  Isn’t eating SO MUCH better this way?!  

Right.  So just keep going with what you have now.  Once you get to the finish line, if you feel you would benefit from it, then get a copy.  

Yes!  Please join me on Monday!

Everyone is different, but you should be able to lose at least double digits in 1 week.  How about eating NOTHING but a bar twice a day for the next 7 days to prove it!  

Wonderful Christine!  This is getting exciting! …  

Mary,

Just imagine how much better your life is going to be when you are thin.  Imagine how wonderful your trips with your friends are going to be when you are skinny and you can eat without care or regret.  Maybe, for now, you should cancel all other trips with friends and just focus on you.   Getting to the finish line is the #1 issue in yo…[Read more]

I love it!
