vegangirl58: Loved the newsletter. Thank you.
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:11:48pm
momthedork: PD makes eating this way so easy!!!
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:12:40pm
sharonhess: Initially I was also worried about tofu – but one of the greatest barriers to staying with whole foods plant based was that I love creamy dressing — PD has been so easy because I love the food
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:14:25pm
momthedork: Gyros, & fishless sticks.
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:14:58pm
julieb: Tofu bacon is my favorite
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:15:05pm
momthedork: Love the bacon!
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:15:23pm
SandyShepherd: SO MANY PUT DOWN POTATOES AND RICE AS WELL AS TOFU
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:16:11pm
JenniferParsley: Sounds like this letter was from a certain sect of plant based eating (AJ) and wanting to criticize what Julie teaches because it isn’t exactly what another plant based leader teaches. This behavior makes me crazy. I wish everyone in the plant based world could just get along. ALL of these leaders and teachers leading people to plant based diets in any form are doing good things for human health and the planet. We should celebrate all of these plans and teachers! **Rant Over**
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:16:50pm
SandyShepherd: Nicely said, Jennifer! I sooooo agree!
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:17:40pm
veganinblack: ive always loved tofu and do eat it in a lot of dishes, i also disagree that it tastes flat until your taste buds get clean, ive served it in dip to a SAD crowd at my gallery openings and nobody knew it was even dairy free much less oil free
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:18:16pm
veganinblack: @JenniferParsley why cant we all be friends
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:18:17pm
sharonhess: I have found that the combination of having foods I truly enjoy combined with eliminating craving producing additives has gotten me to a place where I don’t have craving, where I don’t over eat and I never feel guilty. And I lose weight too!
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:18:20pm
mavery1454: Having problems watching video. was using firefox. getting an adobe
reload page / submit crash report thing on the top of my screen. Went
to try using firefox or chrome and I am locked out. I can see the chat
box but that is it. will have to watch the replay.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:18:24pm
JenniferParsley: I do the same thing Marci. SAD eaters love onion dip, homemade ranch, etc.
50.178.54.155

Tue July 28, 6:18:34pm
veggie365: Hi, all! Here a little late!

72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:18:40pm
momthedork: Everyone related differently from different teachers. You need to find the one that works for you. PD is what works for me.
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:19:00pm
SandyShepherd: Sorry, Maria
45.53.138.8

Tue July 28, 6:19:20pm
CJinPodunk: Good way to sneak in the APPLE PIE comment of the night Jerry.
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:19:33pm
SandyShepherd: LOL!
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:19:36pm
protectivediet:
thanks!
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:19:45pm
momthedork: The night would be complete with out mentioning apple pie!!!
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:19:51pm
momthedork: Would not
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:19:51pm
protectivediet: hoped you would find the humor I inteneded
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:19:51pm
veganinblack: im working on it so much, steo at full, been snacking at work a bit because its been slow and im bored
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:20:01pm
veganinblack: stopping at full
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:20:06pm
sharonhess: Made the creamy coleslaw and baked beans for my SAD eating family members and they LOVED it — the kids too!
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:20:55pm
vegangirl58: They should see your chia seed burgers!!
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:20:57pm
sharonhess: Without enough starch my brain starts craving sweets — eating enough starch is critical for eliminating cravings
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:21:33pm
JenniferParsley: I am still working on it too Marci. I do very well most of the time, yet occasionally emotionally eat. Today was a rough day for me and I wanted to numb with food. At least now I see the pattern and stop myself because I know numbing out with food won’t solve anything. I am watching my PD class, then going to bed, and starting over tomorrow.
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:22:11pm
veganinblack: ive been talking to myself about hey are you really hungry or just need something to do
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:22:13pm
sharonhess: Great plan Jennifer!!! Tomorrow is a new day
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:22:43pm
veganinblack: my ideal is one belt loop away, it was starting there last summer and hasnt gone back
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:22:51pm
sharonhess: I do that too Marci — then I seriously high five myself when I don’t eat out of boredom!!!
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:23:07pm
julieb: eating 50/50 really helped kicked my weight loss into gear. also watching the videos in PD-ED is really helping me stay focused.
72.204.94.76

Tue July 28, 6:23:35pm
eileenyoder14: I can understand jennifer. This is the second week that I have been taking care of my sick husband. He has a BAD case of shingles on his face and we are in quarantine. Can’t see grandkids, etc. So I am trying to stay focused. I never go off plan, but may eat too much sometimes.
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:23:38pm
veganinblack: 10 more lbs to go, and i thought ive never even get here, PD has just been life changing
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:23:38pm
momthedork: I’m doing much better at stopping before I’m full, but I need to work on the 50/50 plate.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:23:40pm
JenniferParsley: The videos help me too Julie. I think this is an underused resource from PD.
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:24:08pm
momthedork: The videos are so motivating!
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:24:42pm
veganinblack: i am able to get thru a movie without popcorn some days, wow right
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:24:56pm
vegangirl58: So sorry eileen. Hope he gets over it. No fun!
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:25:22pm
julieb: now that I’ve been focusing on my food when I eat it I notice other people when they are mindlessly eating!
72.204.94.76

Tue July 28, 6:25:38pm
eileenyoder14: Thanks! It has been pretty rough but we will get through it with the Lord’s help.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:26:54pm
JenniferParsley: Sorry to hear that Eileen. My bad day was also related to caregiving – had to take my grandmother to the eye specialist today, injections for age related macular degeneration. She is so frail and her eyesight is failing, it is hard to watch and I am such an empath, it really drains me and makes me sad.
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:28:04pm
SandyShepherd: Do sorry Jennifer. It is hard. Eileen, it is so hard to see someone go thru the pain of shingles.
72.204.94.76

Tue July 28, 6:28:27pm
eileenyoder14: yes, I can relate so much Jennifer! I have been so concerned for my husband and don’t like to see him in severe pain. He also had to go to the eye doctor to make sure there were no blisters on his eye and there were so now we are doing drops too.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:28:48pm
JenniferParsley: THE CUP OF TEA REALLY HELPS ME TO SOOTHE MYSELF WITHOUT EATING. ANY IDEAS WHAT TO USE WHEN ITS 90 DEGREES AND YOU DON’T WANT TEA?
72.204.94.76

Tue July 28, 6:28:49pm
eileenyoder14: Yes it is Sandy.
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:28:57pm
mavery1454: I kept refreshing. I can see the class for now.
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:29:04pm
vegangirl58: Iced tea
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:29:11pm
momthedork: So sorry Eileen. Must be hard to watch that but remember to take care of yourself too!
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:29:16pm
SandyShepherd: So many nerve endings there, Eileen. hope he gets better soon.
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:29:23pm
vegangirl58: The strawberry lemonade is good too
72.204.94.76

Tue July 28, 6:30:19pm
eileenyoder14: Mom I am trying really hard to take care of myself. I also have thyroid issues so I am working on keeping my stress level down! No income for possibly a month too cause he can’t work.
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:30:33pm
julieb: I really like that analogy!!
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:30:54pm
protectivediet: @JenniferParsley I would say the answer to what we do when our coping mechanism doesn’t suffice…MICROGOALS (Next week’s class)
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:31:09pm
JenniferParsley: I agree Julie, you have to walk the walk to inspire others. I was thinking lately that Simon & I are the healthiest people I know! That’s why people always ask us about our diet, we are a walking billboard for a PD.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:31:38pm
JenniferParsley: Thanks Jerry, can’t wait to hear more about micro goals.
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:31:51pm
SandyShepherd: I look forward to that day, Jennifer!
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:32:23pm
julieb: I’m excited to be an example for my parents- that’s one of the things that helps me to stay focused
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:32:44pm
JenniferParsley: You will arrive there Sandy, there is no way you can’t when you eat a PD.
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:32:55pm
protectivediet: Thanks for making it happen and sanding strong in who you are. You are a shining example of success. So many of you are
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:33:05pm
veganinblack: over eating is so uncomfortable
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:33:20pm
SandyShepherd: Thanks, Jennifer! You are so right.
72.179.184.242

Tue July 28, 6:34:04pm
momthedork: My husband and I are looking forward to that too Jennifer. We are well on our way.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:34:24pm
sharonhess: I find the same Marci — I’ve been trying to slow down – especially at dinner because I end up eating just a bit too much and then I don’t feel so great
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:34:59pm
JenniferParsley: Simon just joined me, he said to say Hi to you Jerry
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:35:00pm
veganinblack: i remind myself when full and if I want more, that over full is uncomfortable
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:35:08pm
veganinblack: hi simoon
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:35:20pm
protectivediet: Hi Simon!
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:35:34pm
JenniferParsley: Simon says hello Marci, Ms. Veganinblack.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:36:03pm
sharonhess: It seems like when I eat too quickly my brain gets the full message just a few bites behind my stomach
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:36:16pm
mavery1454: I HAVE NOTICED THAT I OVEREAT ON MY LUNCH SALAD BECAUSE I AM DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON MY FOOD. I HAVE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON 50/50 PLATE AND EATING WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS. FOCUS ON ONLY EATING WHEN I AM HUNGRY AND STOP WHEN I’M FULL. DECIDED TO COMMIT
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:36:18pm
veganinblack: eat slower, chew more, i need to do that
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:36:39pm
JenniferParsley: Great job Maria!!!
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:36:58pm
julieb: yes I liked it when Julie said before to ask yourself do I want more because I’m hungry or just because it tastes good. The answer is always because it tastes good & I can wait until the next meal to taste it again.
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:37:57pm
mavery1454: that is so true!
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:38:53pm
sharonhess: I had some really sad news about a good friend last week and its been hard — the day I found out I did eat about a 60/40 plate rather than 50/50, but I was still sad — and that was an appropriate feeling for the situation — sitting with it was hard though
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:39:20pm
veganinblack: a lot of times when i stop at full and say you can have something later, i often dont have a snack
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:39:41pm
JenniferParsley: Sorry to hear that Sharon. It is great that you recognized that it is appropriate to just feel sad. Feel the feelings.
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:39:47pm
veganinblack: putting away lunch is also a good way to not over eat dinner
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:40:01pm
mavery1454: so sorry sharon
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:40:04pm
sharonhess: same here — I had been thinking about the frosty, but never got hungry again after dinner
71.13.9.46

Tue July 28, 6:40:16pm
anon1927: What does SAD stand for
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:40:29pm
veganinblack: i also can be lazy and dont want to make anyting after dinner
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:40:48pm
julieb: I agree – I never realized how much extra food I ate when I was putting food away.
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:40:54pm
mavery1454: SAD standard American diet
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:40:56pm
JenniferParsley: SAD = Standard American Diet (= unhealthy junk)
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:40:58pm
SandyShepherd: Standard American Diet
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:41:02pm
veganinblack: Standard American Diet
71.13.9.46

Tue July 28, 6:41:05pm
anon1927: thanks
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:41:13pm
veganinblack: heh we were all on that
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:41:20pm
sharonhess: Thanks Maria — Ive had to learn that feeling sad is tolerable. It is a new concept for someone who ran from emotions for most of her life
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:42:04pm
JenniferParsley: We can definitely change our behavior, it can be a long, painful process though. Lots of lessons to be learned…again and again.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:42:07pm
sharonhess: Binge eating feels so out of control and then I would never know when the cycle would stop
206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:42:23pm
mavery1454: PD is so much more then about the food. It’s a full transformation. You are on your way sharon.
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:42:32pm
JenniferParsley: JULIE – HOW LONG WOULD YOU ESTIMATE IT TOOK YOU TO STOP EMOTIONAL EATING? YEARS?
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:42:34pm
sharonhess: Thanks!!!!
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:42:49pm
SandyShepherd: It is a full transformation, Maria!
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:43:03pm
sharonhess: I sure don’t miss the binging!!!
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:43:33pm
julieb: Yes I also like how J&J say to come to your meal hungry so you’ll enjoy it more. & that’s easier to do when you don’t overeat at the previous meal.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:44:58pm
sharonhess: Ahh the trance — yes I have so been there — and thats the freedom of PD — I don’t do that anymore
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:46:02pm
sharonhess: Julie – its knowing that you did all those things that drew me to PD in the beginning — its all the stuff I did and exactly how I felt
108.64.202.243

Tue July 28, 6:46:33pm
julieb: yup been there done that LOL
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:46:46pm
SandyShepherd: Love and relate to the 2 soda thing! LOL!
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:46:48pm
JenniferParsley: Yes, it helps me so much to hear that Julie has been there too. And look at her now, the perfect example of health living on tortillas and veggies. These stories actually help me.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:46:59pm
sharonhess: Yep – the 2 soda’s
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:47:09pm
vegangirl58: Goodnight al
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:47:10pm
protectivediet: Any questions?
67.184.119.163

Tue July 28, 6:47:12pm
vegangirl58: all
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:47:20pm
protectivediet: we’re wrapping up if not
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:47:29pm
sharonhess: Good night everyone!!! great class tonight!
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:47:31pm
protectivediet: great job, this is going to be an awesome class
45.53.138.8

Tue July 28, 6:47:44pm
CJinPodunk: thanks!
104.182.65.108

Tue July 28, 6:47:54pm
protectivediet: It will probably be sharable…we’ll see
75.142.68.75

Tue July 28, 6:47:56pm
anon7637: WHAT ABOUT PERCENTAGE OF CARBS?
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:48:29pm
sharonhess: 50/50 plate at lunch and dinner
63.211.1.45

Tue July 28, 6:48:50pm
veganinblack: PD food is amazing, all the spices and flavors
97.95.36.124

Tue July 28, 6:51:12pm
JenniferParsley: Binge eating, not chewing well, and distracted fast eating all create bloating. When I consciously eat, chew well, and stop when full, my stomach feels so much better after a meal. I feel thin and light.
107.2.103.242

Tue July 28, 6:51:37pm
sharonhess: I so hate tracking! I so love being able to listen to my body
50.178.54.155

Tue July 28, 6:52:41pm
veggie365: The fudge looks amazing!

206.81.150.193

Tue July 28, 6:52:47pm
mavery1454: Even when I an not seeing the weight loss on the scale but I have seen it in my clothes.
71.52.184.150

Tue July 28, 6:53:04pm
SandyShepherd: Me too, Maria
