Let's Do Lunch Community

Want to say hello and thank you.  Must say that your posts are very encouraging and the friendship and support I see in them makes me smile.  I've been reading posts since May 1 when I bought the red book and decided to take charge of what I put in my mouth.  It took me a week to get the new WOE to a place where I felt I was following LDL.
 
Thanks for delicious recipes that are easy to fix, very tasty, and filling.  I am surprised and delighted to not feel hungry and to have no cravings.  Even though I read that would happen, guess I just had to experience it myself.  It sounded too good to be true.

Isn't one of the biggest challenges knowing when you are full so you stop eating??  Perhaps you have all discussed this and I just haven't found those posts.

Thanks again!!!

Jaye- Let me be the first to welcome you to this board and to Let's Do Lunch the best way of eating (woe) in the world.  We really look forward to hearing from you more and sharing your successes.  Pam

Welcome aboard, Jaye. You'll love this way of eating (WOE).

HI Jaye and welcome.. Yes I think one of the biggest challanges besides my night eating is knowing when you are full.. I try to ask myself how I am feeling at that time.. am I hungry or is it just a habit.. most always.. I am full and its just my habit calling me.  I think my night snacking is in control. I am enjoying my fruit more and more in the evening.. I have been having watermelon and have also tried the yellow watermelon this week. Its green on outside and a pretty yellow on inside. Looks really nice mixed with red watermelon but doesnt have much flavor.. maybe better later in the season.. so welcome again.. I know you will be successful in your journey.. one day at a time.
Hugs! Kathie in Fl.

Roger Troy Wilson wrote:THE coolest thing about Let's Do Lunch is that you can stuff yourself when you start. Why? Because your body won't let you continue to eat that way. Why? Because your blood sugar will become stabilized within the first week, and when that happens your body will FORCE you to become less and less hungry with each passing day. Thus, you will just naturally start to eat less and less, consume fewer and fewer calories and lose all the weight you want...KEEPING IT OFF!

Jaye -- Welcome to the best way of eating ever!  I can attest to Roger's words because this is what I did from day one on LDL -- ate until one more bite would have made me throw up  . Now, after 10 months my capacity for being full/stuffed is one-half of what I used to eat.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome.  I so enjoy reading your posts, your recipes, and all the encouragement you give each other.  This is quite a nice, supportive family and I'm happy I found you... thanks to Ollie (barrypaxton).

Welcome, Jaye....

Looking forward to watching your progress.

Blessings!

Jaye,
Now I am trying to figure out who you are. I have told several people about LDL. Can you give me your first name or initials?

Ollie

Welcome Jaye,

I'm sure you will enjoy this (WOE) just like the rest of us. Just give everything a chance and time to adjust.

PS: I found LDL through Ollie as well.

Welcome to LDL,

It's wild to eat until you are full. But it really works.

I have lost 60 pounds on LDL, and feeling great.

Enjoy your journey,

Halo

Jaye,

We haven't heard from you for a while. Hope everything is OK.

Blessings,
Ollie

Welcome!!  I suggest that you read over old posts, if nothing else read recipes.  Some are just so easy to do.  The secret of this WOE to me, is have stuff on hand, that is easy to fix.  DO NOT deprave yourself.  As Roger Troy says many times in the book eat until your carvings are satisfied.  Wish you the best of luck.  Julybug

I have a hard time believing that I will EVER learn to stop eating. I eat because it is there. I even eat things I don,t like.Some body told me once that I just ate it so no one else could.I hope not. 

Miss Donna,
You sound like a habitual plate cleaner who not only cleans their plate but everyone else's and the serving platters and bowls also. Been there, done that. Be assured that once you get into this Way of Eating the cravings will go away and once you have dropped a significant amount of weight and get to a smaller clothes size, you will never want anything in your mouth that will cause you to gain!

I just wanted to second what Jaye has said.  I just joined the but have been reading all the wonderful posts for a number of months now.  There is such a spirit of caring and fun from all of you.  Thank you for that.  I am new to dieting - have never had to do it before.  But over the past few years I have been gaining more weight every month.  So, it is time.  I need to do something to stop the weight gain and I like this woe and all I have read about it.  I have the red book and recipe cards.  I have tried some of the recipies.  I am trying to change my eating habits and way of thinking about foods.  Thank you all for your help and encouragement.  Looking forward to interacting with you on a more personal basis now I have joined the boards.

Welcome Tanya,
Glad to have you join us on the boards. Please go to the Screen name topic and tell us more about yourself.

It's hard to not share with others, because it has been so exciting to find something to finally work for me.  It really seemed too good to be true, but it wound up being true.  What good news!  I'm so glad others are finding out about LDL.  Just keep sharing everybody.  I love hearing that someone found out about it through someone else who found about it through me.  You can see the ripple effect.  We are making a difference.

Welcome Tanya- I did the same as you, read the boards for almost 3 months before joining. Like I said in my first or one of my first posts, it is one thing to read all the posts, but totally another when these wonderful people actually get to know YOU, and talk directly to you. I just love these boards, you wil be very happy that you joined.  All the best.                                      ck

Oops, almost forgot, a very warm welcome to you to Jaye!

Welcome Tanya
You will just love the food and being on the boards getting to know everyone.  I look forward to seeing your progress so I hope you will have time to start a journal of your own.
Ask lots of questions and enjoy all the delicious recipes on these boards.
