Activity

Right. It wasn’t much, but it made me feel in control. I choose my 5 bites. I don’t just finish a bar just because there is a little bit left. I am proud of my discipline. I haven’t been able to say that in a while. 

Yes, Matt!  You are doing great!  Keep up this wonderful work.  And don’t you think that journaling, as you are, is helping you a lot?

Yes!  I love it!  I especially love that you threw a few bites of your bar away.  Not that the extra bar would have done any significant damage–it’s just a fraction of an oz–but it’s the mere fact that you threw it away means that your mental state is brilliant.  Right where I want it.  You understand.  You’ve got this!!!  And your so welcome!!  

That is true. You can always get right back up, dust yourself off and make your next meal a great one.

I did fall of the wagon this evening, so annoyed with myself; but I did find a very encouraging post on the forum Dr Lewis wrote:”You guys–failing is part of life. Great. Get back up, and go for it again. And again. And again. What makes a champion is not how few times you get knocked down, but rather how many times you get back up”.

So I’m g…[Read more]

Way to go Matt! It feels amazing doesn’t it? I love how fast you feel results with this diet. You’re rocking it!

Day 18 Entry: 4/27/2018

Another day – another LB down!

It’s in auto-pilot now, I’m around food all the time, that is inevitable. The thing that I didn’t expect, and I’m not sure why, is how loose clothes would start to fit. I wear the same jeans each week, and today they are officially needing to go back on the rack. In addition, my favorite…[Read more]

That’s amazing Danicaj 5lbs, unbelievable, well done you, I don’t think I have ever lost that amount of weight at any time in my life

Yes keep that discipline let’s do a perfect 5 bite weekend together 

I’ve finally learned not to feel hopeless, like a victim, or even content with having a body I’m not totally proud of. I had a huge weight loss (5 lbs) after yesterday’s perfect 5 bite day. I ate 5 small bites of an Atkins meal bar, and 5 bites of a roast I made for dinner. Protein keeps me feeling fuller longer. I’m loving this diet!! Thank y…[Read more]

Ok don’t do it!!

So, I just woke up it’s 5:30 am here. I had the most perfect diligent 5 bite day yesterday and I just weighed.. holy moly I lost 5 lbs since yesterday!!!! I’m elated. Keep that discipline. Read my motivation post. I’m in shock.

Just received a message that is really stressing me out, and now I just feel to throw in the towel and just stuff my face with food, but I came on here to try to prevent a binge, the food does comfort me while I eat it but afterwards I know I will regret it because it will get me further away from my goal, so I have to stay strong and keep my head…[Read more]

Oh yes it does feel great, when you’ve done perfect you just know for sure that you are going to wake up next day closer to your goal

I just had my lunch: snickers perfect 5 bite meal

You’ve got this! It feels so amazing to go to bed after a perfect 5 bite day. It’s all discipline at this point. 

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks however last night I was a little less disciplined :cry:</p>
But as you said I only have to focus on my next meal being a perfect 5bite meal 

Today is the day to be absolutely perfect no messing about perfect 5 bites for lunch and perfect 5 bites for dinner not 6-7 bites and no extra bites while cooking…[Read more]

OK sorry if I’m using this post almost like a journal, but here is something else that works for me and keeps me from thinking about food. As soon as I finish my five bites for dinner I brush my teeth and then I whiten them while I am watching a movie or reading my why weight around book.

It’s important to have boundaries and to know that you have the power to say no. If I don’t want to be in a situation because I think it might be too tempting then I can just say no. When my protein bar would be seven instead of five bites I can say no to those last two and feel empowered throwing the rest away. Learn to say no to extra bites or…[Read more]

Exactly. I will not get ahead of myself. I will only worry about my next meal. Before you know it. BAM!!!!! GOAL IS MET!!!!

Indeed!  I can’t wait either!  

These are great.  I especially love, “I ONLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON MY NEXT MEAL BEING A PERFECT 5 BITE MEAL.”  No matter what happens–whether you’ve been eating perfectly or not–your next meal is an opportunity to get back into a PERFECT groove.
