Danica.  I love the marathon thought

reminding myself.

I NEVER CHEAT.  I NEVER QUIT

This moment of stress will pass

Food is not the answer

do not eat mindlessly   Write down my bites     Do not eat while watching tv   Driving or at my desk

I’m going to read my old posts from my journal a lot. Because what I was doing worked.  I miss the people we had back in 2014.   They made me laugh.  But reading these old posts has helped me remember what worked.

First reminder

I took 5 bites with a small spoon used to stir tea, and ate 1/2 of the pot pie. I knew I couldn’t stop so I got up and…[Read more]

One day at a time

this morning

1 scoop of cocoa in hot water with 1cup almond milk.   (This is my coffee lol)

water

And it’s about MINDSET     I quit watching the news and anything on tv or radio that is negative.   I will do this.  I deserve to be healthy.  Have more energy and play with my grandchildren.  I will not let my physalis disability restrict me from feeling the way I did at 148 or less.  I will not listen to negative talk about this diet

Thank you Rachel and dr Lewis for the great chat you did on Monday night

Rachel is right. People who come on the chats and post in the forum consistently have great success.  I feel like you did Rachel. I’m embarrassed to come back to the chat when I have failed so many times.  But when I lost weight in 2014.  I was more consistent about be i…[Read more]

I agree. Rachel said something that really hit home with me.   When I lost weight before.  I was really involved in the forum and on a lot of chats.  Way too many chars. Lol.  It does help hold you accountable.  I will be joining again Monday night

Shelly

Yes dr Lewis

thank you.

I actually started physical therapy again.  twice a week for my back and no rotation in my right hip.

Riding my bike in the evenings, and riding my bike to a fitness place to do my physical therapy.    Last 2 days of doing this has helped the stress and anxiety   this is a must with me.  Its the only way to control the f…[Read more]

Dr Lewis.  Yes.  You hit the nail on the head.  I can’t focus when I’m worried about getting things done.  If I have more than one project at a time.  It drives me crazy.  I think about it all day and all night.  Part of the problem.  I’m a perfectionist.  But only with work.  I worry too much.

If if I could quit working on things I don’t…[Read more]

Susan.  Thank you

I made a lot of mistakes on vacation

but I remember how good the fruit was and the guacamole and a Mexican soup   And more.  I will never forget it.  And how good the sweet alcohol drinks were.

My pain ain’t in my back was so bad I did nothing but lay around.

My depression is so bad right now I cry all the time.    I…[Read more]

Today I ate breakfast about 10 am.  Small amount.   No lunch.  Tomuch for dinner

I had a bad day sunday.  Got up early 3 am to catch a flight to Cancún.  So overly tired. I ate way too much for dinner

but reset a lot different today.  Enjoying vacation.  Sitting on the beach under shade reading a book about Boundaries by Townsend.      One thing that stuck out to me.   If I can’t resist or say No. run from it.

I am stay aw…[Read more]

Thank you.   Counting backwards is good    I forgot about that.

I got really stressed Wednesday and Thursday craving for sugar I could not fight.     It rained the last 4 days. I couldn’t ride my bike to help with stress.  I’m back on today

Dr Lewis,  It was a 6 inch subway sandwich.  I hate half  which is 3 inches.  Thats o.k. isn’t it?   I’m still loosing by eating that.

Shelly

Oh good.  I’m glad you will be at the chat Rachel

Thanks everyone

Rschel.   I ride for 20 to 30 minutes

I remember before when doing the 5 bite diet I lost 2 pounds more each week.  And dropped a pound everyday I rode.  I still think it increases my metabolism.   But I know dr Lewis said it doesn’t.

Ive learned to breath and eat slow while eating

I’m also eating food that satisfies me.  No…[Read more]

I lost 7 pounds this week.  That is fine with me.  Better than not loosing at all

I loose a lot faster if I ride bike everyday

yesterday and today

no breakfast

lunch yesterday was a bar

lunch today was half a cheeseburger.   It wasn’t hard to throw away    I have animals that will love it

dinner yesterday. 5 forks full if low menu noodles.    Then I went bike riding for an hour

dinner  today will be a bar

I feel much more satisfied when I eat something hot

Sharonmarie. I’m so glad you are still here. I missed you.   Thank you for the encouragement

Shelly

Thank you Rachel!  My daughter was here and wanted Chinese for lunch.  I thought I could resist it.  Less Aroma is a great idea.

For 2 year I have been eating the healthiest way you can possibly eat.  Cooking my own food.  Making protein muffins.   Less sugars,  Did the protein, carb, fat thing.  I spent a lot of money learning how to cook an…[Read more]
