Activity

I will start today Dr Lewis, when I wrote tomorrow it was already night time Now it’s 6.30 in the morning and I’m on my way to work, had my coffee and vitamins, and now preparing myself mentally for the day

Thanks Danicaj, I have flipped a switch and decided to be perfect at least for a week so I can get done with this and start pra…[Read more]

You inspire me Pia. I haven’t been perfect this past week. I went to see my son for his birthday (he’s away at college). I snuck in a few extra bites because I wasn’t paying attention. I wasn’t even hungry. I was at a restaurant talking and catching up. I was discouraged with myself but I think Dr. Lewis has the right answer. I will start again t…[Read more]

Woo, yep. That did it.

Mineral water, plain water, coffee and plain tea.

Great, but seriously:  why not start today?

Thank you so much, yes it would really be amazing if I could stick to 5bites, I want to practice being able to do 5bites with any kind of food (not just snickers) because I think that is what is going to help me when I want to maintain my weight loss. So tomorrow I am going to take up the challenge and keep myself focused even when the food smells…[Read more]

Good.  Sorry you are not feeling well, but it’s not because of the lack of food.  In fact, food will just make things worse overall.

Have an AMAZING day tomorrow, and it will be if you eat just five bites!!!  

Dinner: snickers

No more bites for the day.

Today I felt really ill, nauseous and diarrhea, I don’t know if it was because of the lack of food or just something else but I tried to tell myself that it was my body pulling from my fat stores and that food wouldn’t make me feel better anyway.

Tomorrow is a new day and I will probably feel gre…[Read more]

Congrats on identifying and successfully defeating “self-sabotage.”  The further along this path you go the more you will learn about your body and the control you mind has over it.  Awesome!  

Lunch today was a croissant with chicken and mayo, 6 bites oops 

Pia – that is very true. Getting through that 1 day again and things are already looking to get back on track. Glad to know I’m not the only one!

Danica – So true, it’s very mental. Wow, is it. However, the proof shows up much sooner than most, if not all, diets out there.

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]
