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!

Thank you Alaska Gal!

I’m loving it!

Thank you JulieNom!

I’m not any better than other people, unfortunatly.

I got hungrier and hungrier after my meals, and I ate more than I had planned to eat.

It’s possible that the first slightly bigger meal today (5 bites instead of 4) activated my hunger.

Perhaps it was also the thought of having arrived at my goal that brought with it excitement that I got caught up in.

I felt that hunger was brewing over…[Read more]

I decided to have five bites for my first meal today.

For the past five days I’ve had four bites per meal.

I feel quite full now after my five bites.

This morning the scale says I’m at the goal.

I can pinch around the belly button and also a bit above and a bit below the belly button pinch.

There is subcutaneous fat there.

Not sure what to do next.

Should I carry on for a bit longer and see what will happen?

You did it!

Thank you JulieNom! It’s certainly exciting – the days have gone by quickly!

Interesting! It sounds like you’re finding what you really like for your five bites on a meal by meal basis. I’m impressed with how well you’re doing at work! Back to back calls for ten hours is costly for your focus and mental energy. Dr Lewis suggested to me to have a different food for each of my bites of a meal, and it has been helpful to me.…[Read more]

Hi there everyone!

I think that tomorrow will be when I reach my goal.

0.4 lbs to go!

Of course, we shall have to re-evaluate with a pinch around the belly button.

Patience is the way back to health.

Food lasts a long time on this diet!
