Thanks Leona, I’m keeping it simple and just doing it, day in, day out. Like Dr. Lewis told me, I’m just being a 5-biter and every day it gets more and more my new “normal” and I no longer think, “I’ll be happy when I get to my goal because then I can go back to eating ‘normal'” because this IS normal, not what I used to eat! Also, I’m not…[Read more]

You are killing it!

Thanks!  Finished out with 12 lbs down!

Day 21

Just checking in! So far so good, lunch and dinner both 5 bites of thai curry, one meal with rice, the other with pita bread. It’s nice to be back in control. I intende to “top up” tomorrow after my weigh in then continue 5 bites for the course of the week.

Yay Leona!! Congrats!! 🎉What a great feeling to move into smaller sizes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sounds good!  

34 perfect days in a row!

another day of just naturally following 5 bite without thinking about food except when sitting down to eat!

Morning black coffee, brunch 5 bites homemade egg sandwich dipped in Dijon mustard, dinner 5 bites slow cooker pulled pork and sauerkraut on brioche. Every bite today tasted so good but once I ate, I was done and…[Read more]

Thanks Georgia!

i think it’s just sharing my process. We all have so much to share and from which to learn

Yes ! Chloe – always tweakingand learning BUT loving myself and being true to myself.

Chloe and Shelley!! Not until recently – and I’m talking the last couple of years –  I have learned that I (ME MYSELF) have to come first!! Then I am the best version of myself and the best mother, daughter, friend and therapist. I am teAching my son’s to d…[Read more]

so Proud of you

gayle.   You Always have given great advice.   I’m back too.  Need inspiration

. I also know that if sleep deprived I am vulnerable for shaky days — so sleep is really a must for me.

And I help family members too much.  They don’t ask for it.  But it’s a mom thing. So I am trying very hard to think out of the box.

Less stress. More…[Read more]

You too! And thanks it’s good to know I’m not the only one who hides lol

I love your words of wisdom Gayle. When you said you’re still tweaking your process, it rung true for me because I see this as a new process that I’m now living and I’m getting to know the ins and out of it but I’m no longer in my old process that was self-sabotaging and negative.

Hey Chloe, I’m thrilled to see you haven’t given up!! I know all too well about getting cocky and then having to hide out! It happens to all of us and then we learn and move forward.

Oh and yes, do not keep food in your house, I’ve been doing grocery shopping every 2-3 days and only buying what I plan for meals. No need to tempt ourselves!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Even though in maintenance – it is always a work in progress. I have lost anywhere for 25-30 pounds. That may not sound like a lot – but it is huge to me because I have spent most of my adult life dieting and feeling helpless around food. There is a deep, emotional connection to food and eating issues/disorders…[Read more]

Thanks Chloe but I did have a lot, lot, lot of false starts before this go round!

Today was the first day that this all felt very natural and eating 5 bites is just how I live. In fact, I didn’t think about food until mealtimes and after dinner I forgot again until I saw my chart and remembered I needed to come on here and log my day. I hope this…[Read more]
