Oh yes I am, I’m going to prove I can do it

7-10 days of perfection should get me under the 120 pound mark

Right, Pia.  Eating extra food isn’t going to solve anything in the long run.  In the short run it satisfies a craving and some hunger.  But can you delay gratification for a few days to reset your hungerstat?  Think of doing so as the hardest, but greatest challenge of anyone’s life.  Harder than running a super-marathon (100-miles).  But a few p…[Read more]

Dinner: 4bites of snickers.

Done eating for the day, next meal tomorrow lunch time, I can have whatever I crave I just need to wait for the next meal, mindless eating is not going to help me feel satisfied, that’s what I try to tell myself 

Don’t beat yourself up too bad.We have all had setbacks, just get back up and do it again next meal. I have started and restarted this so many times it is not even funny. I had to get my mind around this because so much of this diet for me is mental. Your transparency is honest and refreshing because we can all relate. Congrats on the weight loss…[Read more]

I’ve been in the same boat so many times, but good news is that in 1-2 days 5 biting you have lost all the weight you gained, I think for me getting back on the forum straight away after messing up help me to get back on track!

Day 14 Entry: 4/23/2018

I didn’t want to write this today, but part of the journey is dealing with it honestly. I completely failed this weekend.

I was so focused on Saturday morning, but once the afternoon struck, I just switched off completely. We took the kids out to get haircuts, and got some food for them, then ordered some for myself and…[Read more]

Lunch: a Danish pastry, I think it was more like 6 bites, I regret that 

maybe I will do 4 bites for dinner instead of 5, just so I can feel a bit better about the day.

Yes!  Right!  Just keep it going.  Settle into a comfortable groove.  THIS is how I want you to eat until you are done, and believe me: you’ll be done in NO TIME!

Yep.  

Completed my day of perfect 5 biting, now I just want to make tomorrow another perfect one

Dinner: a snickers, love snickers I could have another one, but I’m not going to .

Now drinking coffee and water, and thinking about what the weight might be tomorrow 

Food is really calling my name this afternoon, but I will stay strong until my 5 bites for dinner I can do this

Snickers for lunch, perfect 5 bites, while I’m making lunch for the family I have to keep reminding myself not to add any more bites, it’s one of my worst habits that I keep popping things in my mouth mindlessly!

Good luck!  

Danica – great job!! Yes, it is so easy to think about eating, but then when I actually put the food in my mouth, I’m already feeling very full! At bite 5, it’s a feeling of total satisfaction. I actually just had 5 bites of my cheeseburger just now, and feel completely content. Gave the rest to my wife – so more sharing is caring

Day 12 E…[Read more]

Snickers bars are a perfect gauge for my meal size too. It’s easy to take a bigger bite if you aren’t beginning with a pre- portioned meal. Bars take the guessing out of it.
