Great job!  The more you do this diet the more you realize you are getting everything you could possibly crave out of a tiny amount of food and the more you realize that large amounts of food are NEVER worth it.  Soon life becomes fun and exciting like never before as the importance of food becomes secondary to being fit and healthy.

Brilliant.  Now the journey begins.  No excuses.  It’s going to be hard, but you have God working with you.   

I agree.  I think it is best to start off with bars until the hungerstat sets, then look forward to each meal as an opportunity to confirm your newfound control over eating.

OK.  What’s done is done.  But start right now–this very second.  As soon as you take those first few steps forward all of the guilt and regret from your missteps above will fade away and you have a renewed sense of optimism and hope.  Remember: Jesus did a much stricter version of this diet for 40 days and 40 nights.  As a follower of his foot…[Read more]

Keep up the motivation and the great work, Poppycat!  It’s neat to notice nature–the absolute wonder of nature–and it helps to put us–our lives–in perspective.  Living creatures (not the pink moon) all function with a very, very efficient energy balance; only us humans seem to overindulge to our own detriment.  In terms of efficiency, su…[Read more]

Hi Slolady!

Thanks for coming to chat with me last night, but sorry for the connection problem.  As a result, we don’t have a recording of the chat.  But please, everyone: come join me next Monday night!!

Brilliant, BK!!  I think you might have got this … !

Tomorrow, practice by taking 1 bite of an apple and throwing the rest away.  Then take one slice of an orange and throw the rest away.  Have one bite of a pear, dump the rest.  Have one grape.  Have one bite of banana and throw the rest.  You will feel like you had an entire fruit salad for lunch, yet got away with sticking to the diet perf…[Read more]

Yes.  The one thing we all can control is how much food goes in our mouths.

Hang in there … it really does get easier!

Whew!

The last post makes me so happy.  I love the fact that he is onboard.  It will give you the freedom to do the diet perfectly, and now you have to prove to your husband that you have what it takes to succeed.  Brilliant!!

I do hope, though, that the above two posts were written in order, and the last one came about because of the first one.  Right?

Hi BK.  I like your strategy for now.  I am assuming that you are mostly staying isolated in your home, right?  What a great time to be extremely productive–putting all of your free time and energy into achieving one of the great accomplishments of your life.  THIS is the perfect time to do the incredible.  I like your strategy of eating just…[Read more]

OK.  But if you want to change it I would be more than willing.  Thank you!

Hi Poppycat!  So good to see you back!  Yes indeed!, you’re health is what we are all about.  Health is everything.  Food is really, REALLY good, (at times), and it is really fun to eat.  So there has to be something even more compelling than food to tear you away from it for a while; that’s your health.  NOTHING is more important.  And rememb…[Read more]

BK — I am so late and I am SO, SO sorry.  It’s all on me.  Let’s make it up: when is a good time for YOU to do a make-up chat?

Awesome!  I can’t wait!

Yes, yes, YES!!

How has today gone so far?

Beautiful.  Let’s make this stretch of time in the spring of 2020 THE time it happens.  It’s going to be hard, but try not to give into excuses.  They are going to start flying at you from all directions.  But when all is said and done, you’ll discover that those excuses were just excuses, and certainly not worth what they were billed to be.  Bu…[Read more]
