Fair enough, Shelly, but you might consider eating something room temperature (like a bar) and then DRINKING something hot, like coffee (tea in your case) or really hot water.

Long time no see/hear, DrColins!  Welcome back!

Are you going to set up your weight tracker?

What is your current weight?  Are you content with that, or do you want to get it lower?

Great!  Right!: When you really focus on your hunger, you’ll realize it’s not all that bad.  It’s totally manageable.

Welcome, Kathe!  It’s great to have you here!  YES!–let’s all get skinny together!!

Well then, let’s do it!!  If you want to be 120 by July 6, keep asking yourself at every meal: “How badly do I really need to eat that 6th bite?”

I love it!

GREAT!  Keep up those reminders!  I’m a big fan of reminders!!!  

You bet!!

Still, a great start.  But now that you’re feeling more comfortable with this diet, lets see what this next week brings with smaller bites!!!

Sorry, Sheila.  It was a great chat, but once again my file became corrupted in processing, so I can use it.

Good discovery!  Because 5 bites is so little food, why not go all the way and eat just the volume that I’m asking?  Even though your bites will be smaller, they will taste the same and your enjoyment of those bites will be the same.  So start today!

Fair enough.  Things should set soon.  How do you feel today?

Music to my ears!  Congrats!!
