Activity

I haven’t posted in awhile or followed the 5 bite plan. I’m back up to 162lbs. Feeling very defeated.

The more I study various diets the more lost I become. I’ve read about fasting and calories in calories out, low carb high fat, Atkins, Dr Jason Fung Obesity Code, anti inflammatory diet, boosting metabolic, how eating too little destroys your…[Read more]

We are definitely all in this together!  

Lynda
Thank you so much! I so understand The Filipino pot luck and the boss situation I’m the leader in my department and I work in a hospital with many Filipino friends and we seem to be running a special on baby showers at work in every department. I do better believe it or not in that environment at work( I have figured it out for my work s…[Read more]

Day 37

Breakfast was a strudel pastry

Lunch was a Snickers bar

All 5 bites.

I feel good! I like having a little flexibility, being able to have breakfast every once in a while with my girlfriend. It also makes for a larger fasting period the next day since I won’t eat again until lunch. It comes off the same. I am so busy with other…[Read more]

In 2 weeks you won’t give a damn if the feeder brings home 3 pizzas. You’ll have 5 bites and be done with it. You are only a few days away from setting your hunger stat. And you won’t want to overeat.

Hi NeedingThis,

If you can start the diet in your own space. Get some nice zero calorie drinks available. Get some snickers (if you are in a position where you can’t focus) and arm yourself with responses on why you are not feasting anymore. My challenge will be at the Filipino pot luck parties where there will be 3 women force feeding me because…[Read more]

GREAT!  Ask yourself those questions before you take your first bite.  All of a sudden the extra bites will lose their appeal.  Eating perfectly is so much tastier and filling than just eating more bites.

Insight: So today I’m going to ask myself anytime I’m around food. Will I regret this? Will I remember this in 3 days? My new mantra!

Nice Lynda! Keep pushing! i love before and after pictures of people losing weight, so vicariously gratifying. Can’t wait to do one myself too.

Hi Rachel! Wow i feel like we have gone through similar journeys. I too had gotten up to about 183 and resolved to change, dropped to 173 and then knew i needed some community support to continue.

Oh and I was doing the same thing!: eating a high volume vegan diet which did not serve me well.

I also have gotten deeply into meditation practice…[Read more]

I’ve had 4 days off with the feeder. ( The husband) For now that’s 4 days to many. He’s self employed so he takes off when I have the days off. Today is our last day together. It’s been a disaster for food. No lie he’s ordered pizza to be delivered 3 times in a week ( no lie) I’m really angry. Of course I caved. I feel like I’ve put back on e…[Read more]

Hi Rachel!

So you took the first big leap and came here.  GREAT!  Now, can you take the next big leap forward?  Can you eat NOTHING but a Snickers bar, twice a day, water and coffee, for a whole week?  It will challenge your constitution, but the reward is extraordinary.  So, what do you think?  

I LOVE it!!  

Day 36

topping up. it’s impossible to eat “normally”. That is, I cannot physically eat more than 1/3 of what I used to eat on a daily basis, which caused me to be overweight. I was initially worried about having this “top up day” because I thought it would hinder my progress but I am down another 5 lbs this week to 151. So I am just keeping with…[Read more]

So, I’m down another 6 pounds again. Didn’t think I could keep this pace up, but so far, so good. I don’t want to be doing 5 bites forever, so I’m racing to the finish line. I’m looking forward to being slim this summer. Our summers are really hot, so I’m hoping to feel a lot more comfortable in the heat. I promise to post a before and after shot…[Read more]

HI Needing this,

So I’ve lost another 6 pounds. I really didn’t think I could keep up this pace, but keep thinking about the prize at the end of this race. I haven’t worn a light coloured swim suit in 23 years. Always black to hide the extra weight. I have picked out a swim suit I want to wear down at the pool, where the local pool manager tried…[Read more]

Lynda,
I messed up resetting today! I realize even more how my husband is not really okay with this as I thought, or I am noticing how easily I’ve gotten pulled in in the past to his food fest. Wow awareness is powerful but making me angry that I have fallen for his food fest so long. It’s just not healthy mentally or physically…. more dyn…[Read more]

Day 35

Weighing in tomorrow. Super excited to see where i am at.

Lunch and dinner were just clif bars today.

I did a lot of hiking and swimming and it was a struggle, but not nearly to the extent that i expected. And i felt well enough after taking some breaks to keep going as if my energy levels were completely restored(which is…[Read more]

Welcome Rachel,

Wine has been one of my weaknesses. My partner is a wine executive and gets a huge wine allowance. So I have been giving it away. When I’m in maintenance, I’m saving it for social occasions only. I dropped a really expensive liquor in a fruit cake yesterday. It tasted great.
