The scale has finally moved and it feels great  now I just need to keep the momentum going through the weekend, tomorrow we are having a dinner party at our house and I am cooking dear and lamb on the barbecue plus all the sides and apple pie for dessert, I am planning to do 5 bites of the main and then 5bites of dessert, hope it will be…[Read more]

I do get that a lot too, I try to remind myself that it’s the body switching to fat burning🙂

Oh Yes Sharon and Gayle, I am still here, ready for a great week, I am not giving up until I reach the magic number even if I fall of 77 times, let’s go

Friday went ok’ish it wasn’t 100 % perfect but it wasn’t bad either, but I will keep going until I reach where I want to be, some days are just harder than others.

Hi Lynda.

I’m missing your posts, are you still hanging in there?

Thank you Gayle, You are so right, I fell of yesterday, I get those terrible migraines and the only thing that help is to eat and take painkillers, sometimes I have managed to pull through a few times and not eat but then I sometimes end up bedridden vomiting etc, I don’t know what to do but I really need to not let it derail me completely and t…[Read more]

Welcome back Shelly, let’s get this done 

Yes I am so close and everyday I am getting closer 

You are right the appeal does wean, and for some reason anything tastes so much better when you have just 5 bites of it after having nothing all day, the bites after that are not as great.

Thank you Michelle, yes I am, I just need to race to the finish line 🏃‍♀️ 😃

Thanks Sharon and Georgia 

Dr Lewis that is very funny, maybe I should do that with all food so I could lose interest in all food.😬😂

YES

True, there’ll definitely be many more meals just like that in the future, however this meal is pulling me and the smells are very tempting but I have to keep practicing until the pull towards food starts to wane

Great Gayle, you are an inspiration, I’m currently cooking a scrumptious meal for my family, and It smells amazing, but I just had my 2nd bar so I am going to resist and practice my will power like you did/are doing.

Thanks all for your support, it’s so great to have so many people on the forum

Sharon, I also love Lemon Meringue pie, I lived in London for 7 years and used to have them a lot, but here in Denmark there’s not many places they sell them, so I decided to learn how to make it myself, and thanks to this diet I can have it, but 5 bites onl…[Read more]

Yes I am 

Reset for me, too many slip ups lately.

I have decided yet again to go back to posting daily for at least the next 5-6 days for accountability and to get properly into the groove. I am really struggling today have a headache and feeling tired, dizzy and shaky, but I’m trying to just take it easy and not give in to using it as an excuse for t…[Read more]

Hi Binedp6, It’s hard to break old habits I have similar battles, when I’m tired, sad, happy, relaxing, bored those are all excuses for me wanting to eat and sometimes eating is the only thing on my mind and it’s so hard to resist even though I might not even be hungry, but I think the more we practice the more it becomes second nature, so let’s…[Read more]

Thank you so much Gayle for this post, that is spot on, Really what I needed to hear, everyday I have people around me feeling bad about their weight and it looks as if it would be easier for them to be fat if I and everybody else could be fat too, and I just as you said start becoming complacent and doubtful of whether I really want this or not,…[Read more]

It is great, everybody else is getting fatter and they think I should eat more and that I’m too skinny, this the only place where I openly say that I actually would love to loose some weight

Well done, just keep reminding yourself that the hunger means that your body is starting to pull energy from your fat stores
