Thanks, Chloe. That’s good advice. I’ll take you up on that, because I was doing really well with managing cravings when I allowed myself diet drinks, but trying to cut them out entirely last week may have been too strict.

Today’s menu was black coffee for breakfast, 5 bites of a turkey club sandwich and a diet Coke for lunch, and 5 more bites of…[Read more]

Brilliant!

Heck yeah Becca, keep it going! if it’s drinks that tempt you just remember it’s the taste you’re looking for, not the extra carbon, so go for the diet stuff if it is so compelling. Also it’s possible to become fairly disenchanted even for diet stuff, to the point where just water will do, but it’s good to take down the cravings and temptations in…[Read more]

Ha  I know, it is so different this time. I think it all started with the strong resolve to “not freak out” and I’ve done all the things that help me stay calm and just be patient.

Thank you! Dinner yesterday was another ThinkThin bar and I went to bed a bit early to avoid further temptation.

Today’s meals were black coffee for breakfast, 5 bites of a cheeseburger with a diet Coke for lunch (threw the rest away), and a ThinkThin protein bar for dinner along with my vitamins for dinner. Getting back on track.

Yay!  I don’t know what clicked this time around, but something has.  You’ve absolute got it!  I love it!!!

Day 32 and 33

still moving right along, keeping my schedule, keeping it going!

Great!  You just did it!  You took that first and all-important step: you executed your meal perfectly.  Once you do it once, it’s a lot easier to do again, and again, etc.

When someone finally decides to undertake this extraordinary journey, their very next meal is the key.  Concentrate and eat only 5 bites.  Water and coffee.  Then throw every…[Read more]

I’m in week 5 now. Lost another 4 pounds last week, but I wasn’t perfect with the diet. I had a couple nights out with friends and allowed myself a “low cal” drink each time. And of course since I cheated then, suddenly some cream in my coffee didn’t seem that bad. I know that carbon in drinks is just as bad as extra bites, so I’m not…[Read more]

Extremely!  You have learned to truly appreciate food and the flavor of it.  Frankly, that’s what eating is all about.  

Days 30 and 31

Still making my way. No problems. Not much to say except, it gets very easy the further out you get it seems. Or at least, it can get pretty easy, probably because of the habits formed. I’m maintaining that determination to continue by staying calm through meditation and allowing the process to unfold. Patience and coffee are my…[Read more]

Well done Raya. Amazing progress in your body, eating habits and mind. Wishing you a strong week ahead with another amazing scale victory. Fabulous work. X

Day 29

Yep easy peazy, just keeping it going until the finish line.

Yay!!

Isn’t it fun to live a five-bite lifestyle?  At least temporarily?  And really, when you think about it, what advantage is there to a 6th bite … EVER?!

27-28

Still good! Weighing in tomorrow. Coffee, meditate, repeat  ✌️

Ok.  Tuesday it is, then!   Please weigh in next Tuesday and we’ll go from there!

Incredible!

Dr, I’m not sure.  I’ve been weighing daily but my last reported weight was Tuesday.

I love that, Chloe!!
