Great chat everyone!!

Here is an interesting article I read this morning:

We already know that fast weight loss is the best. But it’s neat to see some more professionals say the same!

Thank you Dr. Lewis!

YES!  Please adopt Rachel’s mantra!  It’s such a good one!!!

GREAT job, Skinny!  You are so right about food’s diminishing returns.  After the first few bites food is not all that it’s cracked up to be.    And great job last night!  You’ve so go this!!

Today’s check in:

Lunch was 1 Butterfinger bar.

Supper was 1 Butterfinger bar.

I ate 1 small bite of fruitcake also. Yep, tastes like I thought it would!

Then I had a hard time this evening NOT giving in since I had already cheated. But I made it! No more bites.

I drank 2 mugs of coffee, and I also had a glass of homemade…[Read more]

Rachel…Thanks for your simple yet powerful words of wisdom. I will try to remember them.

You can borrow my mantra Sean! “I am hungry but I am happy. Hunger is natural and means I am alive. Being full is unnatural.”

Hi Father Sean.  So, simply, you just start again.  You recognize that life is SO MUCH better in the thin lane, and that even though it’s fun to eat for eating’s sake, you want to be skinny much more than you want to put bite after bite of forgettable food in your mouth.  SO, commit to the program.  Plan out your five bites and execute those bit…[Read more]

No!  The Lewis Diet book was an experiment that we ran about 5 years ago.  You’ll have the correct book–with the yellow measuring tape on the front.

? I don’t know, I just found the website.   Dr Lewis will have to tell us!

We can do bars together! A bar challenge. If it would help you.

I haven’t lost anything either; this morning I weighed 197.6! I’m being perfect though and hoping for a drop.

Tonight we are going out with friends to go Christmas caroling and then play volleyball; but my plan is to eat my bar beforehand and not eat while there.

Day 9 of my reset

SW 176
CW 165.5

Zero loss this morning.   Yesterday I had 5 bites of falafel for lunch, and 5 bites of a vegan burrito bowl for dinner.  Pretty sodium and carb heavy maybe?  I will watch that on future bites.   I am considering bars for the rest of the week leading up to Christmas.

I am guessing that it will get a little busier on the forums in the next week or so with all of those NYE resolutions people are making.

Today was a great day!

Butterfinger bars again, one for lunch, one for supper.

I drank 3 mugs of coffee, and warm water when I was thirsty.

I’ve been trying to keep bundled up lately; I’ve been more cold than usual. And I’m hoping it will help me lose faster!

It’s great to be back on track again. Food is such a strong habit! But…[Read more]

Wynona, when I first did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 every day I would write a take my weight write it down and or any loss or gain. That paper help me keep focus. That might be my suggestion, for what it’s worth. Sean

Susan, thank you for your very kind words of encouragement. That means a lot to me. So far the day is going fairly well but I have to admit that a couple of times I’ve fallen. However school is out for Christmas holiday and so I don’t have to worry about final exams, students, and a whole host of other things. I will have time to do what I wan…[Read more]
