Thank you Allison!

Now I’m at 117 lbs, and my goal is 116 lbs, so by tomorrow morning it should be done!

I had a couple of minutes at my goal weight two weeks ago and then I got carried away with my joy for food. Now I have done four days of snickers to get back to my goal weight.

This time I’m going to ease into meaintenance, and not smash…[Read more]

I’ve now planned my meals for tomorrow, according to “I will do it” vs “I will try to do it” that I now implement.

After each food bite I’ve written “I will do it!”

For example:

1 teaspoon of shrimp and mayo – I will do it!

1 teaspoon of egg and mayo – I will do it!

And I will!

*And now I realize that “I will do the same” is what I want to write instead of  I will “try” to do the same!

So – I will do it!

I have seen that Dr Lewis isn’t fond of the word “try” and I am learning to use the words “I will do it” instead.

I will do it!

That feels much better!

I’ve been decluttering my space for some time, using the work of Dana K White.

She has come to see each space as a “container” and that it’s best to accept the limitations of each container.

I’m thinking of my stomach now as a container! And I don’t want to try and put more into it than it can hold comfortably. A bit like Madeleine wrote about…[Read more]

What a bummer with the pecan snickers. Now you know what you don’t like.

You can try having five different food bites for dinner and see if that is more satisfying.

Don’t “eat”, and instead, taste! (And wish me luck tomorrow as I will try to do the same!)

Go JulieNom!

Getting closer and closer! It’s all part of the learning.

I’ve taken a few falls over the past weeks, too. And it all counts – the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Go again JulieNom! I can feel that you’re already up! One foot in front of the other as Dr. Lewis says!

I’m smiling JulieNom, that sounds like a lovely imagination!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a smooth swan lake landing?

I think so!

Thank you Dr. Lewis!

I was so looking forward to the “swan landing” that yesterday evening felt like the night before Christmas!

This morning I woke up very early, thinking that it might be Christmas morning!

It turns out, it wasn’t.

Tomorrow then!

Swan incoming and possibly landing on the lake tomorrow.

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]
