All understandable!

Step by step, yay!

My pleasure, Sharlet.

I love plans! <3

Let me indulge and write a bit about my current plan.

It’s a bit of a system that I have in place, for security and stability.

It’s made up of six small meals a day, that I can have any time of the day.

Five of the meals are the constant, and one meal is the variable.

My current meal size is “one…[Read more]

Hi Alaska Gal.

I have an idea.

As you have so much thinking to do now in this situation, it costs a lot of energy for the brain.

You can use snickers bars (or your chocolate bars of choice) to supply a steady stream of energy to the brain, and practice the steadiness of set meals.

Special situations like yours I think requires special…[Read more]

Sanity can be temporarily restored with the 5BD in my experience lol

Yay for endurance!

The inner work-out is taking place now.

No need to go to a gym!

Inner pantry access permit signed, sealed, and delivered!

Excellent! Yay for Jennifer, Kylie, Lori, Sharlet, Allison, and all!

One little guard-rail that I’ve set for myself in case of urgent hunger, in the case where I’m not willing to white-knuckle it out, is to steer myself toward a set meal limit. The best limit I’ve found is a snickers bar. That way I avoid the open-ended eating that I’m prone to, when left free-range.

Also, I have a few routines in place that slow…[Read more]

Sleep is good.

Warm shower or footbath is also good.

Time is on your side!

Yes, that makes sense.

When we give up and have the bulk of our food from the outside, the inner landlord can’t give us access to our inner pantry.

When we begin anew on the diet, there’s this annoying time period before access is granted.

It’s coming round the bend – hang in there!

Inner pantry access denied, one more day until landlord arrives with the key?

Wonderfully done, Kylie!

One thing I can suggest is to stock up your pantry with lovely food that has a long shelf life, and to admire it often, and let yourself know that you have everything you need on the outside, and that it’s safe to use up your inner pantry. Doing this has helped me a lot. I think there are many reasons for wanting to eat more, and some might have…[Read more]

Of course! And my impression is that you are the one offering food to Mum most of the time. No doubt in my mind about that.

I wanted to write that family, closest of kin, including ourselves, all of us are here and there for ourselves to find new ways to handle situations. I happened to be my closest of kin, and had I had a Mum nearby, it might…[Read more]

Hi Kylie!

Perhaps you were thin before being born. Let’s say that you were!

If you want to be thin, nobody can stop you. Not even Mum.

Here is a suggestion:

“Thank you Mum! Love it! I’ll save this food for a rainy day!”

Bag and pop the food offering in the freezer and enjoy it later.

Perhaps enjoy it on a rainy day when you are a thin lady!

Hi everyone!

Here’s another little update.
