I sat down with family members today and did not go over the specifics and instead told them I made a resolution to lose weight this year, so if I don’t eat as much it is not because I am:

1. Sick
2. Unhappy
3. Not Feeling Good
4. Not in the Mood
5. Becoming Anorexic

Everything is purposeful, and being done intentionally – and everything is…[Read more]

Great job Kristina looks like your doing fantastic keep it up I look forward to following your progress

Kristina,

People have different comfort levels. When I did it, I just did it, and encouraged people to ask me why I was eating so little. I would then go through the science of it an explain that, as long as there was fat around my belly, I didn’t need to eat at all, let alone 5 bites. I was solid in my conviction to lose weight and my…[Read more]

Beautiful! It looks as though you are right on track. Yes … this entire journey is a learning and discovery venture. You not only will learn about your body and it’s needs (and how well it is designed to thrive off of fat alone), but how to better control your emotions, relationships, and overall organization in your life and around your…[Read more]

Just realized – I use food as a way of dealing with anger – when I am angry that when I want to eat. And that anger is covering vulnerability which doesn’t want to be felt.

I use food as a way to stuff down feelings that are uncomfortable not sure what to think of that. What is good is that by recognizing it can go further, and…[Read more]

Today is hard for what ever reason yesterday was not hungry but today beyond hungry – Weight dropped to 183

Today very hungry though sticking to five bites is a challenge but staying in there

Believe this hunger is just suppose to last 3-4 days and it is complete, the rest becomes easy

Today’s 5 Bites…[Read more]

And seriously one month! That almost seems impossible but will take your word for it – and follow exactly.

Nothing before or after, till dinner. Dinner had difficulty because we went out and there was a lot of social pressure to eat more – so went a few bites over. So counting today as practice day, will not get discouraged and will start again tommorow.

Luckily the goal is progress not perfection.

The mistake was not telling anyone else what I was…[Read more]

Told them that was going to lose weight, but did not tell them the specifics of the diet – going to habe to because people got worried at dinner

Does anyone have tips for 5 bite and eating out, it feels like it is socially acceptable to eat as much as you want but if eating yt? O little people start freaking out big time

Yes. I love it. Are you keeping this journey private, or are your family and friends aware of your New Year’s resolution?

Hi Kristina! Happy New Year!

I really like the photo you took. The food looks great–what it? It looks like you ate the amount I want you to eat. BUT, did you eat only that amount? No extras either before or after the photos? If not, you are doing great, and I just want you to go through your days staying focused and do the same thing over…[Read more]

Happy New Year, just joined as a new years resolution that 2018 is the year all the weight comes off

I hope you enjoyed your vacation!!!

Back on the boat as well. Good luck this week!

Thanks Dr. L. I am really bummed that I messed up. But I will not let it derail me from my goals. Time to pick myself up and keep moving forward.

I can’t wait to see what you can do. I love that attitude, DD, and I can’t wait to see how close you can come to that goal. I don’t think you will be at goal by January first, but try and prove me wrong!

Had a tough week after Thanksgiving. I was too scared to get on to the scale until today. Luckily I must have undone the damage done, because my weigh came in right at what it was before TG. Back on bars only for the rest of the year, until Christmas! Have to hit as close as possible to goal by 12/31. I made a promise to myself, and I intend…[Read more]

You are doing GREAT. I’m so happy for you. A pointer for Thanksgiving: It’s a free day, so don’t count your bites. Make a point to taste everything offered (including at least 1 bite of every pie), but try to not finish any one item of food. Leave a ton of it on the plate. You will lay the day to rest with only positive memories if you do.

TOM arrived yesterday…and the weight is dropping again. 7.5 pounds in one week…not too bad. I really want to beat that this week, but I know it will be tough with TG day coming up. Perfect days only for the rest of this week!

Original SW from July: 164
Reset SW on 11/14: 167.5

I have set some mini-goals for myself…[Read more]

Good idea–switch your bars around. Let’s see how that goes!
