The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi again and thanks for being here..It does help to read posts and know I'm not alone in this. I hate being controlled by the urges to eat. I have a friend who is helping me and I spent alot of time on the phone with her today. I am trying to stay honest about my eating because I tend (do) to hide what I do from others.

I don't tell other people that I ...

How happy am I!!??
I can't believe it! I even tried stepping on the scale this morning several times because I really thought it can't be. I know a lot is water weight and all but some of it is surely FAT!!
Thanks to everyone who reponded to my posts. I also wanted to let the newbies know that YES the first week is hard. I am still hungry but I have faith in all ...

I tell ya what, I never knew a pickle could taste sooooo good. First I sucked the juice out of it, I was very surprised and delighted to know how much juice one pickle could hold; then I sucked the seeds off of it, there were lots of seeds just for my enjoyment then I ate the peel of it -- quite enjoyable I might add then I actually ate the pickle---what was left. It ...

I haven’t posted in a long time and I thought it was about time that I did. :) I read all the posts every day and am so very proud of you guys for the changes in your attitudes towards everything. I see the difference between when a newbie first posts and the despair in their voices and then after about 2 weeks on program. The posts ...

I'm kinda new and know I will need support. I struggle with wanting to eat not because I'm hungry but because thats what I do. I want to change that so I'd like to use this forum to "share" what's going on instead of eating over it.

I hope thats ok

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 86:5

Failure is not a terminal condition, unless we allow it to be. We may stumble, but if we repent and receive the correction and instruction from God, we will find grace and mercy and the ability to keep stepping forward on our journey.
Ignoring and making excuses for our failures, leaves us stagnate ...

Hi Everybody,
I had to take my Dad back to the hospital yesterday. He has developed an infection in the lower leg (same leg of the knee replacement). We're not sure yet what type of infection or if the infection is in the knee itself (which would be very bad).

Please keep him in your prayers ...... we need all the help we can get right now. I'm on my way up to the hospital, ...

I ate MF oatmeal today for lunch, as the other ladies I work with had Taco Salad. As I set there eating, my co-worker said, WOW your completion looks so much better (I didn't know it looked bad, ignorance is bliss :? ) The same lady said, I think I am starting to see cheek bones. The other lady said, man that oatmeal smells good and starting ...

The first three weeks of my fast, I sincerely felt like I was going through withdrawal from drugs. Even though I knew in my head that I was not physically hungry, I was obsessed--OBSESSED--with thoughts of eating. The very smell of food would be enough to almost bring tears to my eyes. I realise now I was, indeed, going through a type of withdrawal.

I found some information on the Internet that I thought I ...

Hi guys!

Just change my nick from pinkgeek to hungry. I wake up hungry, I go to bed hungry. Other than the headache, the first three days were better as far as hunger goes. I don't know if I'm in ketosis or if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm having a really hard time. Its not that I'm having cravings but am satisfied, I really feel like there is a hole in my tummy. I ...
