Egg timer distraction document !



Recommended Posts

After trying to get a copy of this document from a member & getting no response I'm sad to inform everyone the reason for no response is it appears tomander passed away a few years ago.

I went to the Internet to search for his document thinking he shared it with so many it might be out there. Well I was successful !! So here it is. Thank you Tomander !!!

Egg Timer Distraction

Do you really want a snack? Countdown to less snacking....

Egg Timer Distraction: (make sure your egg timer has a bell on it)Try not to eat a large meal past 7:00 p.m… allow yourself an evening snack but if you really want something try this first…

When you feel hungry after 7:00 p.m. set the egg timer for 10 minutes- When the timer goes off there is a chance you may have forgotten you were hungry- After the egg timer goes off the first time and if you’re still hungry... drink an 8 to 10 ounce glass of Water... then set the egg timer again for 10 minutes-

If the egg timer goes off the second time and you still want a snack... drink another 8 to 10 ounces of water... set the timer again for 10 minutes-

If on the third time your still hungry have a snack but make it a healthy snack...

I eat a lot of cold turkey... I keep in cut up in the fridge and have it as an evening snack

I also eat a lot of cut up veggies now...

I was never a veggie eater before really but now enjoy them with a homemade dip

The egg timer method really worked for me...

Give it a try… you never know it may just work for you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
