Great job!  You are getting the hang of five bitting.  It’s an awesome tool when you have it mastered.  How is your hunger?

Yes indeed.  As you step back a second and look at your life through a wide-angle lens, you’ll appreciate the unnecessary damage all that weight was doing to your body, and for what?  Nothing!  We all are meant to be thin, but you are actually making it happen.  And at a good pace.  Just imagine how good life is going to be without all of thos…[Read more]

That’s exactly right.  So, just go with it.  The finish line is spectacular!

Brilliant!  That’s completely awesome.  More than anything, don’t you feel like you have gained total control over your weight?  After all, you just voluntarily shed 10 pounds!  AND … with a minimal amount of inconvenience.  How hungry are you?  

Thats great to hear. I’ll log in when I get home. I put in my weight information when I joined. Its not showing on the message footer. I don’t know why. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far.

Thank you for your reply. As I go through life in this body, I find that I’m more sensitive to things than others. In most cases I can take half doses of medicine and have them be effective. I really wanted stimulants to work for weight loss and tried lots of them over the years. Now at almost 50, I’ve finally decided to just go with it instead of…[Read more]

I know most everyone here doesn’t need (or isn’t facing) a weight loss of 100 pounds and then some.

When I’m finished, I will have lost over HALF of myself!!

The 155 pounds I’ll be getting rid of is like TEN 15 pound bowling balls, I’ve had to carry around all day, everywhere.

This program is SAVING my LIFE.

1 day 1 meal.

Slice of tomato between two slices of balogna with a simple sauce of wasabi and soy sauce with salt and pepper.

3 liters of SmartWater throughout the day.

Hi Matt,

I have just finished reading your diary and you back on track which is great. You will wake up Saturday morning and commit to the five bite diet perfectly. We have the tools. It is the mental aspect of it. Keep busy, make a point of reading the book every day. Try and keep the  focus away from food and set yourself a goal by the end of…[Read more]

Great.  Keep going.  You’ve slowed down and are taking a water break.  Fine, but you’ve got to get back on the course and finish the race.  You won’t truly understand the amazing benefits of losing weight until you go all the way–complete your race.  Don’t stop at mile 12 of a 26.2-mile marathon.  Even if you have to walk it, find your way acros…[Read more]

“If you’re tired of
Starting Over,
Stop
Giving Up.”

That attitude, right there, is IT!  That’s it, Tao!  You’ve got this.  It’s all about understanding, then attitude, then commitment, then following through on that commitment.  You are most of the way there.  Stay strong!  Life is going to be INCREDIBLE!  You are rebuilding yourself newer, better, stronger.  I can’t wait!!  

This issue with caffeine?  Yes–probably most people.  I do at times as well.  Caffeine causes detrussor instability–an overactive, hyper-contractive bladder.  BUT, at least for me, the coffee is better than its side effects.

Hi Circlecityvegan!  I am often a few minutes late–I do them from home as soon as I get back from the office, and I never close them before 6:15-6:20 (if no one has shown up).

Also, please fill out the weight tracking info so I can get personally involved in your journey, OK?  

Great.  I so enjoy reading your thread, Tao.  I think we all do.  Keep it up!  

The food that you throw in the trash isn’t going anywhere; it will be waiting for you at the finish line.

No amount of the best food can make you feel better than being thin.

Exceptionalism isn’t for everyone, but it is for you.

Good one
