Day 71

Keeping it together, making it happen, weighing in tomorrow.

Had a thought about how useful the feeling of “giving up” can be when used the right way. I used to give up and eat massive amounts of food, enjoying the food while simultaneously suppressing a sense of failure and helplessness. That helpless feeling actually spurred me…[Read more]

I love it!  Thanks for the clarification!

Oh sorry, “day 70”. That’s how long I have been doing the 5 bite diet. I’m getting a little simplistic with my formatting at this point lol. “This is how I live now”is just another way of saying “another successful day where eating wasn’t a massive troubling part of my life”

Thanks Skinny!

Day 16= almost perfect, but I had 3 licks right before lunch. I want to be totally honest guys! And I HAVE been perfect for the last 15 days! This would be my first cheat.

Lunch was the 3 licks, 2 bites of a Clif bar, 2 bites of an oatmeal cake (the icing was what I licked), and 1 bite of stuffing.

Supper was 3 bites of cabbage…[Read more]

Yay!   I’m excited for you too!!

70 is a way to live/method of living?  Sorry … I don’t get the reference.

This is how I live now lol. excited to weigh in at the end of the week!

Thank you!!!

I’m glad to be able to check in here and be encouraged!

Day 15 was perfect!

I was feeling a little sick this morning, maybe the beginning of a cold? But I rested and feel much better now! I’m still wanting to eat everything, but that’s ok. I won’t do it!

For lunch, I ate 4 bites of spaghetti and 1 bite of cookie.

And another day through.

Good job, Skinny.  Whatever your pace of weight loss is, it is!  The point is that as long as you are moving forward, you WILL cross that finish line at some point.  Yes, it might take awhile, so just focus on the process.  Focus on how much [fun!] it is to BE ABLE to stop after just 5 bites!  I can recall that when I was losing weight myself I wo…[Read more]

You beat your record!! Thats awesome and motivating!! 4 pounds is alot compared to other diets that tell us to aim for 1-2 pounds a week! Great Job!!

Thanks so much!!

Wow! 14 days perfect is awesome. I am aiming for this week

It’s so helpful to hear how you tackle each meal. I really liked how you focus on the reality of additional bites hindering you from using the fat reserves. I need to remind myself of that when I’m tempted to take an extra bite!

Thanks Dr Lewis!

I weighed 211.0 this morning. That’s 4.6 lbs lost. I was hoping for more, but hey, what other diet do you expect to lose MORE than 4 lbs a week??

So I’m thankful for what I did lose!

I hope you all have a great day!

Here’s to a big weight-loss week, as I raise my cup ‘o joe!

Great insights!!

Right, BK!  Sort of what Chloe and I talked about tonight.  Good luck just throwing everything away after that 5th bite.  The reality is that you are not being forced at gunpoint to eat that sixth bite.  There’s no constitutional law that states you have to.  You just have to find a way to break all habitual chains tying your to food and set your…[Read more]

Great job, Dana!!
