I am Peggy Sue Parker. I would like to thank you, Susan for your Vlog. I was surprised to hear my name and the words I had written to you and your staff. I thought maybe I would not get a response back. I believe many people like me need the freedom to do our lines to fit our individual needs. I want to tell you and everyone a little about me. In February this year, a friend, Beth Clarke, told me about Bright Line Eating. I knew she was doing something to lose weight, she had a glow, and seemed very happy. Beth gave me a copy of Bright Line Eating. I started reading it, was so excited! I read it twice during the month of February. I could not stop thinking about it. I started making changes. I decided I would start March 1. I would make my bed first thing, pray, read, write in my journal and prepare my breakfast, and lunch. I would go straight home to finish preparing supper. After supper, I go to the grocery store. It was the perfect time. I was not hungry; I could read labels. Put a list on my refrigerator of the meals I could prepare. Sometimes it's hard to think what to cook. (decision fatigue). I eat three meals daily. That's not been an easy thing for me. I often missed meals but understanding the science behind it helped. I have stay focus. I score a very different score than my friend, Beth. Beth scores a 10plus while I score a 4. Some of our needs seemed different to both of us. We agreed that it's been difficult for both of us. But the journey worth it. I know I cannot eat anything with sugar. No sugar, no honey, no artificial sugar nothing sweet. One bite, and I would be like a drug addict! I refuse to eat anything that would destroy my peace of mind. I understand it's my life. I have loss 20pds weight, since March 1.
Peggy! Thank you so much for writing in and for sharing a little of your story here. It gives so much context! 💗It is always so interesting to hear BLEr's stories (wherever they land on the susceptibility scale). It is really great to hear your story, thank you again for being here 🧡🧡
AT LONG LAST! I lost weight just sticking to the no sugar no flour, 3 meals a day. Now that I have immersed myself into the bright line eating community, I sometimes feel guilty that I don't write it all down or that I don't always weigh my food. BLE creates feelings of guilt in me, and yet-- when I did it on my own without the community and with only 2 of the Bright lines, I lost weight. I really appreciate you trying to embrace all of us for the efforts we are making. Thank you!
I love the idea of using these bright lines as guidelines. Bright Line Eating, and you, Susan Peirce Thompson, have helped me change my mindset about food. I’ve lost 60 lbs and still have about 30 ish to go. I don’t follow all the bright lines all the time but I can still say that binge eating is no longer a part of my life. I would never be able to say that if it weren’t for Bright Line Eating.
Thank you for affirming this method; making the method something that I could do. I tried the method years ago, but was overwhelmed by the "lines". Your video excitement and openness on the issue is refreshing, and helpful to me.
I am so happy to hear this. I, too, have felt like I don't really belong because I don't write down my food ahead of time, I eat what Susan would call "sexy" compliant food, and I have no habit stacks. I see so many comments in the group that say, "There are no BLE police", BUT then go on to imply that what the person is doing is wrong. I've been DOING BLE for almost 3 years and have been in maintenance for over 2, yet I have often been afraid to mention my anomalies in the group and don't volunteer to be a buddy. I consider myself highly successful in BLE, but have felt like the ugly stepchild. It feels good to be validated. To thine own self be true.
I have made my own bright lines (eating sugar when I am invited somewhere, but never alone). I have been in my right body for 4 years. I don´t do it as Susan Pierce Thomas, but watch every video. It is so good for me.
You absolutely answered Peggy Sue’s question so genius! You are so gifted in explaining yourself! Thank you for being so thorough and thoughtful in considering everyone in this BLE community!
It’s THIS that will make me go back to BLE. This. Because although it is said that there are no BLE police, some people truly have a way of making others feel bad. But YOU are the founder, the person everyone looks up to, and YOU give this beautiful message. Thank you Susan. Thank you for just being you❤
Oh my goodness this blog post is my fav of all time. In 2018 I joined BL and stayed on it one year eating perfectly to the letter. I had lost 40 pounds by then. But I began really resenting having to write my meals down each night. I ate the same pattern each day, keeping food on hand that was basically the same for my meals over and over. Soon I became so upset over needing to do that, it really played head games and I began to hate “someone telling me what to do”. I ended up leaving completely for 5 years. But BLE was the only way I could stay away from my addiction and so here I am again. Susan, I have an enlarged understanding today listening to your vlog. I am ecstatic that I can make this my own without feeling guilty. Thank you thank you thank you.,
During the 2016 boot camp, I lost 25 extra pounds by strictly sticking to the four bright lines. After the boot camp, I decided to stick to only two bright lines: sugar and no flour. I've kept my excess weight off. I eat healthy and feel good.
The scale is awesome for getting enough of great veggies and fruit, protein, etc as well as the peace it gives me so I don't go overboard. There is nothing better. Thank you BLE. ❤
This is a HUGE game changer for me! I LOVE the redirection of my focus now - do what is right for me, and know that if I need to tweak, there is a plan that works!
Thank you for this video... I am day 1 tomorrow. I also am not an overeater. Just an eater of lots of sugar items. My bright lines are: No sugar No flour 3meals And no hot chips/wedges.
I am only successful when I follow the 4 Bright Lines. But I am a 10++. When I fall in the ditch, and I do, I have weighed, measured, written it down, committed it, ate just that and then went back into the kitchen and ate everything wrong.... In addition to my planned food. But I know this works. And it does most of the time.
Thank you, Susan!! I am so happy to hear this! BLE helped me lose 30 lbs. and changed my thinking about food forever. I lost those pounds in 2020 by following the first two lines strictly and the second two loosely. It was easy to cut out flour and sugar by using curbside pickup during the worst of the pandemic, and it helped my digestion a lot. By selecting only on-plan foods, I was meal planning for the week without writing it down. Since I don't like to weigh my food, but have never gone for seconds or large portions (my mother taught me well), I was doing the one-plate method. But, I thought I was off plan and felt like failure, especially when I reached a set point 20 pounds above my goal, stuck just inside onederland for three years. I lurked in the chat groups but rarely participated. The big wins for me are: I didn't gain the weight back; I continue to slowly lose inches; the structure of the program has helped me figure out some food sensitivities. The emphasis on SOLUTIONS resonates with me. Where and how can we "alternative BLEers" share and learn?
Amazing! I so needed to hear this! I started BLE in January 2023 and had incredible success with exactly that … no sugar, no flour and 3 meals a day (no snacking). I gave up my success and the feeling of well being because I felt like a fraud. I felt if I wasn’t following all the rules, I wasn’t part of the club and eventually my 3 bright lines disappeared and the weight returned. Thanks to this blog I have the motivation to resume :)
OMG, it is amazing how accurately you hit the bull's eye. You articulate all the nuances that need to be exposed in the spectrum of food addiction. I am definitely in the highest range of the susceptibility scale, and I am grateful that you get us so well and help us see the truth.
I’m a “10” but I keep trying to write my own food plan and I convince myself that I can have just one bite, one serving, … 1 is too many and 50 isn’t enough. IYKYK
Thank you!!!! Finally, I feel released from the guilt. Thank you for the kind answer, encouragement and examples. I love the word “solutions,” with an “s” added to Bright Line Eating. Hooray for permission to release the guilt and use the solutions that work for me!!
Thanks for making this video, I’ve mentally been really struggling to stay bright and so I never feel like I can do it, but im going to try again even if not perfect
Excellent message! I was distracted by your hoodie, trying to figure out if it said "Prince" or not! So I did a search for "purple Prince sweatshirt" and found it! Love you, Susan!
This is the best BLE video I have ever heard! Thank you for talking about this, I have had this questions for almost a year since I have started, to have the freedom, to be compassionate with me, to be open to hear different stories, I agree it is as important as any other BL. :) thank you for this, it gives me hope, I will keep on, I am not still in my BL wheight but you bet I will!! Loving ourselves, being compassionate, understanding our path it is as important as any other BLE, we are humans, not robots!! Hugs from Mexico City :)
I love this vlog!!! Because I feel the same way as Peggy.. I always felt I was failing because I don’t weigh either… Thank you cause now I feel like a weight has been lifted….I so NEEDED this today🩷
I'm glad to see this, wonderful timing, cause I'm coming to London to meet some of you next week, and I'm just so excited and I didn't even consider I might not be welcome! But I too have been saved by the bright lines as guideline.... absolutely saved me from food misery and poor health for life. Ever grateful for the welcoming tone the community of BLE embodies ❤
Oh my, what a wonderful VLOG for me at this time. I joined originally in 2017 and was focused. Even then however, I did not write down all my food in advance. Was given permission early on by someone in our FB House Group...that allowed me to feel true to myself and not pressured. After 5 years focused and clean, I drifted and found myself eating NMF... I'm not entirely free of that tendency AND, had joined RBRZ, signed up for the UK Conference etc. Still struggling with all the structure. This VLOG has re-inspired me to take advantage of the wonderful support and wisdom in BL Solutions! I respect the core 4 lines including weighing and measuring. My guilty (in the past) deviation was sometimes splitting a meal, having my fruit or salad separately. Which never caused me angst. So many thanks, SPT for this message. Which allows me to return more whole hearted.
Soooo good to hear this. I do weight my meats/proteins and fruit. Risks to overeat these are significant. Although I like my veggies, I have trouble eating the full 20 oz of these so I am less likely to use the scale. Thank you, thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for this video! I lost 63 pounds and am in my bright body doing a lot of the Bright Line parameters, but only “perfectly” with 2 out 4! I measure everything, but where I go over the lines is that I put 1 teaspoon of sugar (finally stopped artificial sweeteners after a lifetime using them) per cup (250ml) in my tea between meals multiple times a day between meals, (I drink hot tea in a large mug 6 times per day on average, planned ahead and recorded diligently). This is my only added sugar, absolutely no flour. It’s just that I am an avid tea drinker in a coffee world. To thine own self be true indeed!
I think there's something to be said for "coming all the way in and sitting all the way down" at least at first and then very deliberately trialing adjustments with feedback like a scale(weighing yoursel) to keep you honest about results in order to differentiate between guidelines that might not be necessary for you individually but that are essential for others.
I love this SPT. Sometimes I am 100% bright, and other times I am not and I cross the lines. I am NOT a 10 on the scale and can easily bring myself back in line. I have lost connection with groups I was in because they were 10 on the scale and could not understand how I could cross the lines. My buddy and I completely understand and support each other’s journeys which helps me to use the bright lines as guidelines. I LOVE BLE because it is adjustable for our own personal journey. And that is exactly what it is, a journey. This program has helped me so much and I thank you for the vision you had in creating this!
❤ Thank you for your work. I'm a 10÷ I think. Always eating wrong things then getting depressed and feeling guilty. Then, like a crazy person, doing it over and over.
i stopped flour and sugar 5 months ago. also i dont eat before 2pm or after 8pm. lost 34 pounds and am no longer tempted. i do eat as much as i want, though. am 5foot11 and 185 pounds.
I'm in the same boat not because I don't overeat but because I have depression and anxiety and it's simpler to start with the first 3. Also, I'm on Trulicity which takes care of the overeating as far as I know. I've been at it for 14 days, I'm hoping to see some change still and I'm now at that point where I don't know if anyone else has been there where I'm thinking - I wonder if I can go back to eating normally and just pace myself since I've been able to stick to this for 14 days.
Hi there! Are you seeing benefit after 14 days? If so... why mess with what's working? We're also curious what your score is on the Susceptibility Scale? 🥰
Regarding the ACES score for trauma, how do you feel about the question that asks if a parent is addicted to alcohol or drugs? My mom was a food addict, and that definitely caused trauma in my life. I’d love if you would cover this topic if it seems relevant and purposeful for your work. Thank you for all you do! Welcome to the 50s! 🎉🥳
OK, my burning question is what about Stevia and monk fruit? Are these considered sugar? Also, how long does it take to get off of sugar? And, what if you start back up again does the process start all over again from the day that you quit or does your body adapt pretty easily because you've been doing it for a while? I'm just wondering if you accidentally have a cheat day or a cheat weekend with foods you're not supposed to eat, and then you try to start back on Monday, how long does it take for your body to go back to the way it was or to go back to a completely normal state where it's not craving these foods any longer?
I think she advocates no sugar and no artificial sweeteners at all. ARTIFICIAL sweeteners can knock you back to looking for that sweet dopamine hit again .... and i think a lot of them affect your good gut bacteria which isnt good either...
@@mariebrett2179 yep, unfortunately I have to agree 100%! Such a darn shame though lol However, I do know that the more sugar substitute I eat, it just seems like my brain knows that it's sweet no matter what it is, and always looks for that sweetness all the time! :-(
I wonder if i can succeed. I had gastric sleeve weight loss surgery 11 years ago and lost 100 pounds. I am still 260 pounds. I am not physically not capable of eating the quantity of food. That being said, i applied for the bootcamp scholarship and i pray i will receive this. A 10+ on the scale.
Hi there, Susan has explained why we have ads in this vlog: ua-cam.com/video/AfO2oRv-KKE/v-deo.html (our videos were suppressed with ads off). We welcome you to watch our vlogs, ad-free, on our website: www.brightlineeating.com/blog We hope this helps! 🧡
That person is not telling the truth.C’mon if she needs to do BLE in any form she’s in denial she has .If your doing food in moderation your not an addict so try doing the no scale idea for a while.Let’s see how you do.
Logic, keep it simple, and stay the course. It took a while to gain the weight. It will take a while to lose it. You have to be consistant. Maybe you will lose 2 lbs. a month, maybe less. Live your best life. It's all common sense.

I havent started and the weighing/scales have kept me away. I am so glad I saw this video.....
I love this.

We are so sorry you've felt that way 🫂🫂Way to go finding what works for you🧡Sending so much love 💗
Laurie, I am right there with you! I love the “ugly stepchild” analogy but I would say that I am a beautiful stepchild as are you!

Never eating it alone! That’s a great rule if it works! I could do that too..

Awesome Vlog! Love it. Very powerful words and compassion, and I got teary eyed. Great question Peggy Sue! TY Dr. Susan!
Thank you for watching 😁😁😍😍
I’m teary eyed too😢 It’s a beautiful message today.
Found this so wise, helpful, and freeing! I have found weighing my food, in general, gives me the most success and freedom.
During the 2016 boot camp, I lost 25 extra pounds by strictly sticking to the four bright lines. After the boot camp, I decided to stick to only two bright lines: sugar and no flour. I've kept my excess weight off. I eat healthy and feel good.
Way to go! 🧡
Thank you for giving me permission to belong to the community without weighing! It does bring me peace. Now I can feel I can stay.
Oh my dear, yes! YOU belong 😍
The scale is awesome for getting enough of great veggies and fruit, protein, etc as well as the peace it gives me so I don't go overboard. There is nothing better. Thank you BLE. ❤
This is a HUGE game changer for me! I LOVE the redirection of my focus now - do what is right for me, and know that if I need to tweak, there is a plan that works!
So true! 🫂🫂
Thank you for this video...
I am day 1 tomorrow.
I also am not an overeater.
Just an eater of lots of sugar items.
My bright lines are:
No sugar
No flour
3meals
And no hot chips/wedges.
Thank you, Dr. SPT! Beautiful. Wise. Super helpful and encouraging. Again, thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! 🥰
Thank you Susan for speaking for the 10++'s
I Love my food scale ❤
addiction is a powerful force. Thank you, Susan, for giving guidelines to combat addition.
I am only successful when I follow the 4 Bright Lines. But I am a 10++. When I fall in the ditch, and I do, I have weighed, measured, written it down, committed it, ate just that and then went back into the kitchen and ate everything wrong.... In addition to my planned food. But I know this works. And it does most of the time.
This was awesome. “Don’t you dare say peep about it” was perfect. Thank you for the invitation to come in as we are.
🧡🧡🧡

I found this vlog triggering.. I'm going to pretend i never saw it . 🤷♀️😂

Thank you so very much fo explaining this Susan!
Thanks for making this video, I’ve mentally been really struggling to stay bright and so I never feel like I can do it, but im going to try again even if not perfect
This is the best vlog I’ve seen so far. Thank you!

Thank you. BLE is a life saver for me. And I don’t weigh or measure. I have lost weight and most importantly fixing my relationship with food
Thank you for sharing! 💗💗

Personally, this is WHY I weigh my salads. I want to be sure I eat all I need to eat. Also, the chicken I add for the same reason.
I really needed this today! Thank you!
This video might be my favorite for BLE. Being able to pick what works for your peace makes so much sense!
What a great Vlog! I love your gift for clarification and flexibility, Susan. Thank you for addressing this topic.
Thank you for watching 🥰
Awesome! Thank you for this video! I lost 63 pounds and am in my bright body doing a lot of the Bright Line parameters, but only “perfectly” with 2 out 4!

SPT - You are a bright shining light for all. Eternal thanks from this 10++ on your suseptability scale.
Thank you for being here 🙏🧡

Great great message and discussion! I am the same as Peggy! 😊
I love this SPT. Sometimes I am 100% bright, and other times I am not and I cross the lines. I am NOT a 10 on the scale and can easily bring myself back in line. I have lost connection with groups I was in because they were 10 on the scale and could not understand how I could cross the lines. My buddy and I completely understand and support each other’s journeys which helps me to use the bright lines as guidelines. I LOVE BLE because it is adjustable for our own personal journey. And that is exactly what it is, a journey. This program has helped me so much and I thank you for the vision you had in creating this!
Another great vlog, but I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out what your shirt says. lol.
Prince
She’s an avid Prince fan🎉
Omg .. thank you thank you thank you Dr Susan Pierce Thompson for speaking out for ME!!! I really love this one. Me being a 10+++ ❤
🧡🧡
Thank you for saying that recovery is also progressive. That is very encouraging. At present, I am beating the odds. Thank you.
🥰🧡💗
Thank you, because I, too, realized I need to be whole food, plant based diet.
❤ Thank you for your work. I'm a 10÷ I think. Always eating wrong things then getting depressed and feeling guilty. Then, like a crazy person, doing it over and over.
Thank you❤

i stopped flour and sugar 5 months ago. also i dont eat before 2pm or after 8pm. lost 34 pounds and am no longer tempted. i do eat as much as i want, though. am 5foot11 and 185 pounds.
I'm in the same boat not because I don't overeat but because I have depression and anxiety and it's simpler to start with the first 3. Also, I'm on Trulicity which takes care of the overeating as far as I know. I've been at it for 14 days, I'm hoping to see some change still and I'm now at that point where I don't know if anyone else has been there where I'm thinking - I wonder if I can go back to eating normally and just pace myself since I've been able to stick to this for 14 days.
Hi there! Are you seeing benefit after 14 days? If so... why mess with what's working? We're also curious what your score is on the Susceptibility Scale? 🥰
@@Brightlineeating No, no benefits as of yet. I'm hoping to start seeing them soon. My score is 10
Perfect! ❤

Regarding the ACES score for trauma, how do you feel about the question that asks if a parent is addicted to alcohol or drugs? My mom was a food addict, and that definitely caused trauma in my life. I’d love if you would cover this topic if it seems relevant and purposeful for your work. Thank you for all you do! Welcome to the 50s! 🎉🥳

OK, my burning question is what about Stevia and monk fruit? Are these considered sugar? Also, how long does it take to get off of sugar? And, what if you start back up again does the process start all over again from the day that you quit or does your body adapt pretty easily because you've been doing it for a while? I'm just wondering if you accidentally have a cheat day or a cheat weekend with foods you're not supposed to eat, and then you try to start back on Monday, how long does it take for your body to go back to the way it was or to go back to a completely normal state where it's not craving these foods any longer?
I think she advocates no sugar and no artificial sweeteners at all.
ARTIFICIAL sweeteners can knock you back to looking for that sweet dopamine hit again .... and i think a lot of them affect your good gut bacteria which isnt good either...
@@mariebrett2179 yep, unfortunately I have to agree 100%! Such a darn shame though lol However, I do know that the more sugar substitute I eat, it just seems like my brain knows that it's sweet no matter what it is, and always looks for that sweetness all the time! :-(
I wonder if i can succeed. I had gastric sleeve weight loss surgery 11 years ago and lost 100 pounds. I am still 260 pounds. I am not physically not capable of eating the quantity of food. That being said, i applied for the bootcamp scholarship and i pray i will receive this. A 10+ on the scale.

Where is Peggy Sue on thr Susceptibility Scale.
I am a 4 on the Susceptible Scale
That person is not telling the truth.C’mon if she needs to do BLE in any form she’s in denial she has .If your doing food in moderation your not an addict so try doing the no scale idea for a while.Let’s see how you do.
Logic, keep it simple, and stay the course. It took a while to gain the weight. It will take a while to lose it. You have to be consistant. Maybe you will lose 2 lbs. a month, maybe less. Live your best life. It's all common sense.
