Can’t wait for tonight’s chat!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Samantha-</p>
you can definitely maintain or even lose over the holiday weekend. It feels so good to get down to goal and I truly miss it. Knowing how fantastic it feels is what is getting me through these reset days.  For me, it takes five days until I get past that hunker point and then I am sailing. I wasn’t go…[Read more]

This is definitely a mental game. It teaches us so much of how we are addicted to food and the process of eating. I agree, the stricter we are , the easier the process. Each day we resist is one day closer to goal and a day closer to developing healthier habits. I love the feeling of detaching from food and not relying on food to improve my…[Read more]

Ahhhh…mazing!! Bet it feels really great

That’s an impressive performance given that it was a birthday – no less a 40th!

I am so pumped!!! Doing my mental work so  ready to shed these pounds pronto!!

I am so glad that it resonated with you Rachel! I too, despite my normal weight range, judge myself so harshly when I lose control with food. Honestly – I can’t believe the guilt and shame I have around food. F(*^ that! I’m going to work on that. I think it is super empowering to know that it’s NOT US! Also – NONE OF US ARE IMMUNE TO ADDICTION. We…[Read more]

Good for you Rachel!! Hang in. You can do this!!

Day 5!! Bring it on. Today is an early day at work. It can be a tricky day food wise but I’m reset and ready. This is the day that usually signifies coasting through. It’s usually the time in my reset where cravings and appetite are gone. Leaning toward that memory.

I have a busy day today which is great for a bar day.

wishing you all a great day!!

good for you Sharon! You are so productive and focused !! I find that when I do bars,I have much better focus on work and life. Love the bubble bath idea. What a great way to release the heaviness of life. Glad that you’re taking such a proactive approach to health. Your positivity is healing for you and inspiring to all.

I completely understand!! IT IS NOT YOU!! I think it’s definitely how highly palatable foods trigger dopamine. Check out Dopamine nation. Anna Lemke. Also craving mind Judson Brewer. I am using bars as my dopamine detox. More to say but patients await.

I was flying high today!! A few thoughts of food but not hungry – just some head hunger. So busy today which helps.

one more bar to go. I like to tell myself that I’ve done full fasts before and this is so much easier.

Can’t wait to hop on the scale after a few more days on bars. Never miss the food I don’t eat. Only 10-15 min of pleasure. I rat…[Read more]

Whoo Hoo Rachel!! That’s how we build our stripes.

I’m with you. Had a great day yesterday. The mind wanders with thoughts of food or changing plans but I KNOW THAT NOTHING IS FASTER THAN BARS!!! I am shouting at myself. I also know that I ALWAYS WANT MORE FOOD regardless of what plan I’m on. I need to eat and move on. The diet is serving a…[Read more]

Happy Day 3!!

Have so much energy!! Busy at work which is so helpful. This is my early work day and usually starved but doing well. I feel so focused and not craving food. Trying to stay out of stores and minimize exposure to food. One of the things I love about bars is that I detach from food. I feel in the zone!! Haven’t felt that way for a l…[Read more]

Well I remember a similar conversation. I only thought I wanted/needed to lose 15 pounds and I lost almost 30. I was happy I did. Sometimes I think 115 is a bit too low but 117/118 is fantastic. Trust the process. It goes fast when you stick with it and keep the momentum.

One day at a time. Try to get through the weekends. It’s tough and I’ve…[Read more]

Well Carmel I remember a similar conversation. I only thought I wanted/needed to lose 15 pounds and I lost almost 30. I was happy I did. Sometimes I think 115 is a bit too low but 117/118 is fantastic. Trust the process. It goes fast when you stick with it and keep the momentum.

Good luck Mel!! Have fun!!

How are you today Rachel? Thinking about you!! Cheering for you!!

Day 2!

Slept well and slept late. I love these kinds of mornings. The next few days require early wake-ups.  Today will be an easy day!!!
Sharon- glad you had a great day. You are doing so well and are such an inspiration.I love the idea of a bath. It’s getting chilly here and that would be a wonderful evening ritual. I also have a lovely st…[Read more]
