Does 126590 do it?

Hold on a sec … I’ll get it for you.  I can’t believe it keeps doing this on me.

Sstroh–losing the weight will absolutely help!  The reason why I wanted to know what you were eating is because you may not be giving your hungerstat a chance to reset:  You may be varying the bite size too much from one meal to the next.  Often, for this reason, I recommend starting off on just bars, like Snickers.  But I’m OK with you tou…[Read more]

Right BK … It’s tough, and it’s especially hard to stay focused and on point for extended periods of time.  But just think of the rewards for doing so!!   And, after all, I’m not asking you to do some completely exhausting and unsustainable form of exercise.  The program is hard to get started on the right foot–but a lot ea…[Read more]

Is the hunger getting better?  It absolutely will.  Can you tough it out until it does?

What have you been eating?

Fine.  But you won’t remember dining-in at this particular restaurant in a month (or so), and certainly the memory of the food itself will be long gone.  So was it worth it?  Probably not.  The extra bites will have turned your hungerstat up such that when you try and eat just 5 bites your appetite will crave more.  The extra bites will have adde…[Read more]

Hi Sheila!

I think your need to improve your health may be what pushes you over the finish line.  After all, that is why everyone should want to be thin–really thin.

So, with that commitment tightly embedded in your heart and in your mind, let’s do it.  Let’s take a deep dive and go all the way.  You can come to breathe bites 6+ after you’ve gr…[Read more]

BRILLIANT!!  You are definitely on your way!!  From this point on until you cross the finish line, don’t change a thing.  Your life is going to change dramatically!!!

I’m pleased, but I’m also a realist.  You SHOULD be hungry, a lot of the time, the first couple of days on this diet.  It’s all good, and it’s just hunger.  However, the excitement of moving forward and of becoming truly skinny and healthy may override the hunger at first.  Great.  Go with it!!

Indeed!

Hmm.  Really?  Not hungry?  How big were your pizza bites?

I love that, Maria!!  Great job.  If you can buy regular food in a somewhat inexpensive form, it makes it a lot easier to enjoy your five bites and to throw the rest away.  And all of the “money wasted” by throwing food away is just being re-invested in your body–money very well spent.  So GREAT!!!

YES!!!  Buy the best coffee you can find, and indulge!  You all deserve it!!!

WelcomeQueenesther!!

You are absolutely in the right place, so awesome.  We’ll get you to your goal.

How long have you been trying this diet on your own?  What kind of success have you had?

Welcome back!  I understand how you feel about the weight gain, but society tempts everyone to gain weight, and that’s why we’re here!    It’s a real challenge to keep everything under control, but once you cross that finish line it becomes so much easier.

To both LessIsMore and MariaG: You guys have gained weight, but you are still co…[Read more]

Sounds really good.  Great job, Poppycat!!

I totally agree you guys!!!

Thanks for reminding us all, Poppycat!  But the book is there for a reason.  PLEASE re-read it to fully get your head back in the game.
