Mom pointed out I was eating up to 9 meals a day and said I need to get back to 3 meals and 1 SMALL snack a day… I’m really trying! She said I can try sucking on jolly ranchers to help as long as I suck on them not eat (have trouble eating them anyways so I think it will help)
I agree I need this diet but it’s hard
9 meals is a lot I think your mum has a good idea. Wishing you well.
I only eat dinner and periodically a snack. I’m just not hungry. 9 meals is like a weeks worth for me. 3 meals and a snack is more textbook. Good luck.
9 meals is a ton. Even on Olanzapine I don’t eat anywhere close to that. 3 to 4 meals a day for me. Need to cut out all the snacking I do. Id like to lose 100 pounds.
You got this! 
Good luck! Healthy food can be really tasty. Just look for healthy but highly rated recipes
@LilyoftheValley I love healthy food I just eat way to much!
That’s great! That is more than half the battle!
I’m the same as you. I eat healthy, but too much
I buy sugar free jolly ranchers.
@Jinx I think mine are sugar free too
@LilyoftheValley I’m trying to only eat 3 times a day… I started yesterday morning and it’s already hard
I’m doing that too, plus trying to eat 1200 calories per day
@LilyoftheValley mom’s kinda thinking counting calories and 3 meals a day at the same time will be to hard on me so she said we’ll let me get use to eating 3 times a day then start measuring everything
I think that’s a smart way to do it.
@LilyoftheValley she is a nurse and very smart
Twiline I wish you the best to your lifestyle change.
@Ghosts thanks
Good luck! Trident gum helps me to avoid snacking, plus it keeps me from biting my nails and mildly cleans my teeth. I imagine jolly ranchers will be similar for you
@Ninjastar it gets stuck on my upper denture and I have to wait till it melts or pull off with my fingers and I don’t like gum
Oh, sorry. I wasn’t suggesting an alternative. I get that you picked jolly ranchers for a specific reason. I was just sharing that I use a similar method to help me, and it works well. I have actually been doing this since 2003.
Good luck @Twialine You got this! I am also on a diet too. Best wishes to you for sure!!
