I feel like my bites are huge.  I am working on this with you!! Thanks for the reminder!! I want to get comfortable with any food, not just bars.

I got busy and stopped, but I am recommitting!!

That is so funny, Kylie and a great point!! I get that way too.

I took my friends who are visiting from Las Vegas to my favorite Mexican restaurant, and I did not eat!!! Well, I had 1 small chip and salsa. I was so happy and had a great time!

Thank you Allison1! Yes it is! It is a whole new world opening up. Like I do not have to live that way again…happy moments being tinged with guilt and that horrible feeling of being stuffed.

I had 2 extra tortilla chips tonight. But I am so thankful that I stopped there. I went for a walk to keep me from eating any more chips. Although not 100% perfect, I will consider this day a success!! I look forward to weighing in tomorrow morning!

I did it!! I got through my first movie night ever without eating! I woke up so happy and excited to get on the scale and I am down a half pound from yesterday. Using this community space to type in accountability things is really helpful! Thank you, Dr. Lewis! And everyone else for being here

You have been a dynamo at staying focused!

But I lost 5 pounds this week!! So I am at 11 pounds down in 2 weeks. I am so grateful!  Still sad I missed the chat, but I will just have to push through mentally.

Kylie, I look forward to hearing about what type of hobby or activity that you find to fill your nights instead of eating. It does not have to be anything grand. Self Care is a hobby!!

Elizabeth, those are great ideas!!

Yes! I look so forward to having that feeling Allison!

That is so awesome having that kind of control on vacation! Way to go! I know that is such a challenge! I absolutely hate that feeling of being stuffed and disappointed in myself on a vacation. I hope to never have vacation binges again. And wow that really does sound delightful…..what you did with your mom at a buffet! I want to try that!

It does feel great to just get back on track! But then fight that discouraging voice in your head reminding you that you did get off track. It just feels so good to stay on track and the over-eating is always always always never ever ever worth it. We know this! We are just fighting that lizard part of our brain. We are going to do it though!…[Read more]

Hi Kylie! I have found watching old archives to be so helpful. I so understand what you are saying. I work from home and struggle with boredom. One thing that helps me is I like to pretend I am like a character I like, who is dynamic and then act like them….act like I am super hero!! I sometimes pretend I am a Star Wars Jedi. LOL and then ask,…[Read more]
