That was 18 years ago. I still can't eat sponge cake with cream filling or anything from Little Debbie or twinkies. Another time he told me the pile of donuts on the plate were really dog poop. I couldn't tell because they were chocolate donuts...
It works for me. Now, I just need an aversion to chocolate anything. Graham cracker anything, sweet anything, or fried anything. All it took for me to swear off meat was watching a couple videos about the meat production industry. Yuck!!! I'll take peanuts, soy beans, fish (sometimes), eggs. I just can't do hamburger or pork or chicken...not after seeing their living conditions!
Anyway, hypnosis does work. If it worked for smoking, I'm sure it will work for eating the wrong foods.

I have to wait to sandwich them until after tax time so I can get batting for them so I am making as many tops as possible before then.
I am making these to sell at a charity event for Tymeless hearts, part of my profit will go to the organization. They help families that have babies that are born with heart defects. They are a non profit organization. I will be making 1 special quilt that will be auctioned in a silent auction.

i think more realistic is 1 -1 1/2 lbs per week. 5 lbs per month in 10 months you will lose 50lbs...............however...........to be realistic when you hit plataues (sp?) 50 would take about a year.[/quote
1 1/2 is more realistic as Tru said. Even if it's .5 lbs, be happy that you've lost weight instead of gaining.

Sor she said if you weight 188 (I wish) on January 1, then your goal for February 1 would be to weight 180. March 1 would be to be at 172 and so on throughout the next year. Then write a short diary on how you got there and your plans to keep going. I am going to try that. Seems easy enough broken down in the small goals like that rather than looking to lose 50 pounds.

this is mostly protein i have had it for lunch as well as dessert. i also have added fresh fruit on top if i need extra calories to consume for the day.
if you use whole milk ricotta just add in the extra calories

Someone mentioned not wanting to eat breakfast. I sometimes am that way and will have cottage cheese with a thinly sliced apple or pear than I sprinkle cinnamon and maybe Splenda. It is really refreshing and good.

Thank you! I'm still trying to work on the 3rd one. I sewed a couple of rows together then realized i did then wrong and spent the afternoon ripping the seams out. ;(
