That’s lovely JulieNom!

That’s great JulieNom!

We are learning and learning. I feel emotion, mostly sadness, while on this diet. Perhaps a few times a day I feel sad. I don’t mind. It seems to me like memories that I buried with comfort food years ago are now coming to the surface. Letting go instead of trying to soothe myself with food is sort of interesting. I don’t fear hunger at the…[Read more]

It will be interesting to see if shopping urges and habits calm down and follow along with the weight reduction and hunger stabilization of this diet programme. I’m looking forward to experiencing something new in this area of life.

Lovely done!

Alaska Gal that makes sense to me!

I’ve tossed out the bread that I had saved in the freezer. I wanted the space for other more beloved food items!

I had actually made up my mind not to buy more food until I’ve finished what I have, and then I saw a bunch of yummy French quiche pies when I was out and about, and I went ahead and bought more food…[Read more]

I like this JulieNom! It’s a new time for us.

A time of plenty, and of having a stash and not eating it all automatically.

Our stomachs and brains and other organs are thanking us!

Well done JulieNom!

Hi JulieNom!

I wonder if this could be a hoarding response to being on the diet, wanting to make sure that I have food. Somehow it soothes me to save the food for later.  I appreciate the variety of food that I have available. I watched the survival series “Alone” a year ago and there was one participant who hoarded his food, he dried the meat…[Read more]

I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.

That’s the way! Every day we can improve a little bit and eventually we’ll get there.

Hi again JulieNom,

let me share another little thing or two that is helping me:

when I’m about to have my five bites, rather than thinking that I’m going to eat, I’m thinking that I’m going to taste a few different bites of food. A bit like it’s my job to do a quality control of food at a restaurant.

I sort of think of this diet as a fast, and…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom, the road can be rocky at first. Try again and again, and before you know it, your hungerstat is set to where you want it to be. Small steps of improvement, meal by meal. The smaller your bites the less you’ll poke the hungry bear. I finish my five bites in under a minute. All the best to you!

Excellent! I think highly of glp-1’s. It seems to me that one issue could be that they are sometimes prescribed at too high of a dose, for example when a patient isn’t satisfied with the speed of the weight-loss. Also, it seems that there is a belief that they are somewhat magical, and that as long as you take them, you can eat as much as you…[Read more]

I had a new experience today:

I was out and about and went to a supermarket to have a look.

Looking at the food I felt a strange feeling of not really being enticed by most of it.

I found what I was looking for, bought it, and returned home.

On my way home I stopped at a place and ordered something small for tomorrow.

Then I crossed the…[Read more]

You did it Allison!

Week 4

56.2 kg / 123.9 lbs / 18.8 bmi

Nothing wrong with that!

It’s an interesting and fascinating medicine in my view.

If you don’t mind me asking – what has changed in your food preference so far, other than now enjoying black coffee?

Wishing all the best for you!
