Weigh in day! Also first day of my work training, I hope it goes well. I’ve got lunch all prepared ahead of time, ready to go. I’m surprised the scale isn’t budging much this week given my strict adherence to the diet but I know the needle with move if I just keep going, it has to. So long as I focus on the process, the weight loss will happen on…[Read more]

2nd meal went well, a little earlier than usual but I got a busy day ahead of me. Weigh in day tomorrow!

First meal went well, weight loss has slowed a bit but it is still dropping, hanging out at 166.5 right now. was hoping for more this week but 2.5 to 3 lbs a week is still pretty dang fast. Focusing on the process and on other things entirely is where I’m trying to keep my head at. Will check in for second meal later.

second meal went well today, feeling good about things. Another one of my “worth it” memories for me has come up: excess stomach acid! I used to have a huge problem with that and went through a lot of pain but I just realized I haven’t felt that in over a month! keeps me motivated.

Yesterday went great, it was the easiest social gathering/food situation yet, I drank tea, and just had a good social time while everyone ate and there were no issues with it whatsoever, it’s crazy how things can be with the right mindset, and certainly when in ketosis. I also cycled 10 miles and ran 2 yesterday, it’s insane what is possible, the…[Read more]

2nd meal went well. Hoping to get through the weekend and keep progressing forward.

another day another pound, I hope everybody who tries this diet can get to this point, it feels so easy when you’re a few weeks in, it’s impossible to believe that you have eaten less in the last 2 weeks than you would have eaten in 3 days. It’s so important to remember this feeling, especially if you end up falling off later for whatever reason.…[Read more]

@Tonia, I usually have the same thing for breakfast but I switch it up with lunch. I just make sure I’m eating something I can enjoy, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying one’s food!

Second meal went well, pushing on!

Good work coming back! that’s the hardest part. Be nice to yourself, this stuff is hard! Especially in the beginning. Use the details of the mistakes you’ve made to come up with a game plan for dealing with those potential pitfalls in the future. Every time we slip up, we learn something new about ourselves and the sooner we go into problem…[Read more]

Hi @SCS. I like early quiet mornings and breakfast is a chance to completely immerse myself in the eating process and start off with the right intentions. I’m on my fourth week and hunger is basically gone for me at this point so it hasn’t been an issue. If I have thoughts of eating, I allow them to come in and I remind myself why I’m doing this,…[Read more]

2nd meal went well, a little earlier than usual but still 4 hours after breakfast. drinking coffee and water and making sure to remember why I’m doing this.

Got through last night’s election gathering really well with no extra bites, and a drop in the scale this morning. I was aware that the circumstances last night had a lot of my family drinking and dealing with anxiety by consuming food. I drank water! Cradling a cup in the hand and drinking helped me to keep myself completely on track. Will check…[Read more]

second meal went well, going to make sure to remind myself of my reasons for pushing forward. I already look physically different from how I was so that’s exactly. This is from the cbt book I was reading:

1. Read my advantages list
2. Sat down, ate slowly, and enjoyed every bite
3. Gave myself credit throughout the day
4. Read my reminder…[Read more]

Doing really well this morning, staying strong and glad to have the technology working for chat last night.

I want to riff off of what Gayle was saying about all or nothing thinking. One funny observation I heard recently: We treat food mistakes (overeating, ate the wrong food) completely differently from other kinds of mistakes. For example, if…[Read more]

Yes, that all or nothing thing is such a terribly slippery slope, it makes it hard to recover after a mistake.

I love that you went back to read how you did when you did bars during vacation, that’s evidence! we have to trust our past selves when they were doing well

hooray for getting through the weekend!

Milky way! a different feel altogether, reese’s cups are pretty good too. we have these alternative one’s that are dark chocolate with sunflower seed butter instead.

2nd meal went well. My phone might work but I have a pretty bad connection where I am at. My comp has a really good connection though. happy monday!

first meal went well, looking forward to the chat tonight, technology willing.

Yeah me too! What a funny coincidence about stranger things.

second meal went well today, i picked up a few books on cbt today at the bookstore so i’m excited to delve in and apply some more techniques to keep me on track. More on this later.
