quote=”Beth” post=20753]After a few vacations and get togethers my weight slowly has crept up to 127… not my highest, but enough for me to take notice in pictures and overall how I feel. The great thing is is that I knew what to do, so I swallowed my pride and jumped back on the slimming station…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis,
I think I should explain something I don’t blame God for anything. I blame myself for not letting him be in control of my overeating. I am learning to submit to him through prayer and I acknowledge I am powerless over food when I am resentful or stressed. I need to humble myself and let him take all the desire for foods…[Read more]

Corey, I can see a huge difference in your face. It looks thinner. keep going.

But I’m back, ready to try again. I WILL do this!

I had 6 perfect days and went from 190 to 184. (this was at the doctor during the day both times) Thats the first time I have had 6 perfect days.

I’m learning now that for me.
Resentment makes me angry and I don’t care about anything. Even myself. Yesterday Day 7 was good until 4PM. I was craving ice cream and nothing was going to stop me.…[Read more]

Corey, You can chew sugar free gum. I do it all the time.
Dr Lewis said if you don’t swallow it, it doesn’t put any carbons in your stomach.
I like to use Spearmint gum whenever I get the hunger pains. That and hot tea.

Sharlet, Thank you for your input.
I had to find the trigger that was causing me to eat.
It’s not just an excuse. It’s an emotional problem and we all have them.
I think 5 bite would be more successful if people could figure out their triggers. I just finished Day 4 and it was perfect.

Then do it, Shelly! Go for it! If you say you can do it, I believe you. Live up to that assertion. I’m here for you!

Hi Sharonmarie!

Thank you so much!
I am using OA as a learning tool to figure out why I eat and binge the cravings.
I tried a sponsor but it wasn’t what I needed.
I’m learning more by studying the AA book and the AA big book study guide for COE.
Looking back, after I lost the weight in 2015 and then put it back on again.

Problem: People…[Read more]

Are you ready to go to any lengths you need to achieve what you want?

Do you often think, it is too hard to do the 5 bite diet, then ask yourself,

Is it harder to:

Wake up in the morning knowing I will binge and eat by 12:00 Noon every morning?

Attend my baby’s 1…[Read more]

Thank you Letileti!
I plan to post things I learn
Maybe it will help someone else.
Did the 5 bite diet today so far.
God is in control! I am not.

I have paid to be here for a full year.
I am not leaving. I’m just getting extra help.
I will be doing the 5 bite diet

Thank you Dr Lewis.
OA does not have or support any type of diet.
It is mostly working on problems that cause you to overeat. I have found so far,
I’m a people pleaser. I will do anything for people to like me and I never say NO. They are wonderful and will help me learn what my triggers are that cause the Binging. Conquering Things like this…[Read more]

It can cause an eating obsession. I quit stepping on the scale
Just working on my head.

Dr Lewis,
I have a question about liquids….maybe I understand but not sure..
You say water doesn’t matter but my weight shows 2 pounds more by the end day and then the next day when I weigh it is 4 pounds down. . I urinate twice during the night because I drink so much during the day. Did you say the water should not show those extra pounds…[Read more]
