Activity

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

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.

You’re doing great! My youngest son turns 20 on Saturday and normally I would indulge a little, but not now. I drove down to see him at college, brought a cake and was totally content not celebrating with food like I’ve done in the past. I totally get the “feeling light” that you described. It’s a great feeling. 

Dr. Lewis – that is actually so spot on and true. I will definitely be using that as it brings a lot of the accountability back on themselves – and me of course!

Danica – yay, thanks!
