Thank you JulieNom!

I think that the urge to buy food is a sign that our bodies are tapping into our stored hydrocarbon. I embrace the madness of it, as fighting nature is futile. I buy the food that I want and store it in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. It seems to soothe me, so I go with it. And perhaps that makes it easier for me to control…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom!

No coffee for me in the morning. Once in a blue moon I’ll have an espresso with water at a café.

The smaller the bites, the less hunger is activated, it seems for now. Try and see what happens!

The pendulum must turn at a certain point. I think you will find a way!

Hi everyone!

Today I’m again having 1/4 snickers bar and 1/4 snickers bar.

I’m feeling good and optimistic that tomorrow I’ll be gliding in over the lake of maintenance. Possibly the day after tomorrow. We shall see!

I’m going to forget about maintenance and carry on with the snickers, and add one teaspoon of other food to my snickers when the…[Read more]

Wow!

Nothing wrong with smaller bites.

Hi everyone!

My brush with goal weight was short-lived, and was followed by ten days of bouncing up and down. I maxed out at 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs over my goal on the fourth day. Let’s call it getting a bit carried away with food, and also getting a bit carried away with having more meals in the day. Obviously I made the “more meals” one up…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom!

Hair in the food and soggy croissant – that wasn’t what you wanted.

I hope you’ll find what works for you soon!

If you feel like eating eating, then it could be too big volume of food?

When I ate bigger volume I wanted more more more.

Small bite (perhaps even just one bite?) and see what happens?

Wishing you a good day!

You’re getting closer and closer JulieNom!

A fresh start is always available! You can try it and see what happens.

Hi JulieNom!

It’s interesting to read what’s going on. In the future when you look back I think you’ll have a little smile about it all!

Remember what Dr Lewis is suggesting: eat the five bites quickly and then be done with eating until next time. Under a minute and that’s that!

Try to think of the food a little bit like medicine – something we…[Read more]

We’re learning and learning. More experiences and more awareness!

It’s the early afternoon of day three of maintenance. I’ve had one teaspoon of cucumber relish for lunch, and now my stomach feels good again!

I think that’ll be all for today.

Great job JulieNom!

It feels so good to let go of fixed ideas about food, in thoughts, and in clearing out old food.

Today is the beginning of my third day in maintenance, and I will respect my hungerstat.

Staying on the plan is the freedom, and going overboard isn’t.

I went a bit overboard with food and my stomach felt uncomfortable.

I think it was a good lesson…[Read more]

Well done JulieNom!

I’ve sorted the freezer out as I was still having plenty of energy to do things. Now I’ve kept the best things and let go of the rest.

What a lovely feeling!

*It’s the evening of my second day of maintenance.

This is my second day of maintenance. My taste has changed, or should I say, seems to be ever changing. No need for me to hold on to any fixed ideas around food.

I have finally cleared out the fridge of lots of food that I was holding on to. It’s a wonderful feeling! I couldn’t do it during the diet phase.

Tomorrow I’ll sort through the…[Read more]

Now on my second day of maintenance, I notice that my obsession with food is fading away. It’s a very lovely feeling! It’s only a small change in eating from the last few days on the diet to mainenance, and I feel even better now than a few days ago!

The diet is extraordinary! And maintenance, so far, is also extraordinary!

To think that I…[Read more]

That sounds lovely JulieNom!
