More like thought for food!

“So my observations of watching people obsess over healthy, highly regimented eating and still getting fat AND not enjoying themselves, my instinct says something is not right.”

I completely agree and it is something I did for a long time. The obsession only made things worse and I’d binge on the foods that I craved because a part of…[Read more]

Awesome! You’re getting it done. I can’t wait until I can say the same 

Thanks everyone for the pep talk. I know I can do this. I just have to keep my focus on the prize at the end. In 6 weeks I can be where I want to be if I stick with it. All I need is 45 perfect days

Nice! It feels so good to drop into the next 10ths. I will be dropping into the 150s tomorrow or the next day for the first time in 2 years and I am so excited.

Great job Matt! Yes, I also feel fuller when I pay attention and count my bites. Also, if you look at my last Friday’s post, you’ll see I really struggled with the habit of what Friday means. That unwinding from the week, the throwing caution to the wind, eating drinking and being merry, etc. It was tough but I pushed through it and woke up…[Read more]

Thanks Pia, thanks Dr. Lewis

Restart is in full effect. Still eating whatever I want, but being very mindful of my bites and counting them. It’s amazing how you can feel fuller faster when you count your bites. Does anyone else feel that way as well? I start to feel full after the 3rd bite, so then I’ll put down the savory food and finish…[Read more]

There are a bunch of little goals that I’m working toward on the road to my overall goal (Chloe and I were talking about this yesterday), and I use them as checkpoints to strive for so I don’t get overwhelmed with the big picture.

Before I started 5 bite, we bought new rocking chairs for the front porch and they have a weight limit of 250. So at…[Read more]

Chloe, it does seem like a super power doesn’t it? I saw a delivery car for a sandwich place we used to get all the time. The sandwiches are probably 9″ subs but thinner than a subway sub. I was thinking how I used to down the entire thing plus chips and a large cherry coke and I could have eaten more. Now, one sandwich could last me several days…[Read more]

I’m sure you will! You’ve totally got this!

To add fuel to the fire….so to speak. I can see the discontent on peoples faces when I say yes, you can live off 2 snickers a day. Everyone is pounded by “you must eat a lot of healthy food, super food or die” message. Let me introduce you to the halo effect. I believe a lot of the population are overeating due to this psychological effect. And…[Read more]

My hunger stat is set really well. I don’t stray from the 5 bites, although my childen bitterly complained my bites where too big when I took them out of their Big Macs. Too funny. Anyway, I think it’s really important to stay hydrated, drink whatever zero calorie drinks you need to. When I get dehydrated that’s when the hunger/dehydration plays…[Read more]

I’m really going high end foodie at the moment. I’m enjoying my 5 bites, smoked rainbow trout with pumperknickel bread. I hate been a little naughty and have had wine and gin and tonic. But still strong on the 5 bites.

I’m blown away with the thought that we may have got it completely wrong on the calorie count. Obsessing about energy and not…[Read more]

Day 11

Today has been just like any of the other days after the first 3, slightly uncomfortable, foggy when I stand up too quickly, but otherwise completely managable. I even managed to push through a bunch of manual labor chores without any difficulty at all really. The body just feels different. A little harder to move but it will do so if I…[Read more]

Just take it meal, by meal, Kmarie!  You’ve just prepared your veggie or chicken patty and placed it in front of you.  Then the show begins.  The lights go out and the curtain raises.  The spotlight is on you and your food.  The role you are playing is that of a perfect 5-biter, and the entire world wants to see how well you can perform.  PLE…[Read more]

Indeed.  Great job.  Just because you are going out doesn’t mean you can’t be PERFECT.  AND … when you are done losing weight, you can go back to the same restaurant and eat carelessly, if you want.  So there is NO REASON why you should eat more than 5 bites now.  Good luck!  

killing it! i’m about to eat dinner now myself. I hope I can do as good as you are when I get to 4 weeks

Day 3 just bars ✅

24 perfect days in a row ✅

I feel really good today. I was busier than usual so it seemed to fly by but when I made dinner, savory food smelled sooooooooooooooo good after 3 days of snickers so I plated up the kids’ food, took a deep inhale of the food then rushed out the door for a walk. Almost halfway through my week of just…
