I have been on the diet for 5 weeks and have lost 38 pounds. Of course I had a lot to lose...started out over 300 pounds. I had to learn that I did not have to eat till I felt full. Through this program I have gotten into the habit of eating until I do not feel hungry. I was always one who ate until it was gone! This is a wonderful lifestyle change for me. I hope that it works the same for you. Brett–way to go my friend. I have been on the diet for 5 weeks and have lost 38 pounds. Of course I had a lot to lose…started out over 300 pounds.

I've got to get started on something. I have a lot to do but it's not anything that I want to do! Well, now I have more motivation to do it. I see my teenage son doing the same thing - maybe he can learn a good habit now. Thanks for explaining that link to me. OMG, that’s it! I’ve got to get started on something.

Do you find yourself constantly looking for something to do, constantly needing stimulation and then finding food to fill that need? I certainly do. If I get bored or frustrated by boredom I typically go to the fridge for comfort. The trick I am finding is occupying your time to a point where you may be over welmed with things to do. This fills the need for brain stimulation without killing your waistline.

It is so encouraging to read about other people facing the same struggles and know you're not alone. I also have ADHD and I was wondering how you feel that is a contributing factor to obesity. I can't make the connection - for years, I felt I should be skinny because I'm so hyper! I am just starting on this program and found your blog.
