Sharlet, Thank you for your input.
I had to find the trigger that was causing me to eat.
It’s not just an excuse. It’s an emotional problem and we all have them.
I think 5 bite would be more successful if people could figure out their triggers. I just finished Day 4 and it was perfect.

Woke to the most excellent surprise! Decided to try on the jeans I marked for 8/4 and found not only could I button them, but zip them as well! They didn’t fit very well, but they were on after a week of 5 bites (5 days if I’m being totally honest). My new goal for the 4th is to have them fit.

Im sorry this photo posted sideways. Not sure how to fix it

OA has helped me alot. My doctor said i do not have an eating disorder and dont need OA.
BUT i have learned a lot about my eating binges.. I finally made it past day 3. And its seems easier now thanks to Beth. LEARN TO SAY NO’
She helped me figure out “i have to stop doing…[Read more]

Fine. Did 2 bars a day make you nauseous? I can’t imagine that 1 bar a day makes that much of a difference. But, you will feel uneasy, perhaps, whenever your body starts to break down a new depot of fat.

HI HT …

First, you didn’t need the saltines–water would have been fine. But the extra salt does cause water retention (in the short run) so that is probably why the scale isn’t moving much. But, just to finish this thing once and for all, why not go back to bars? One for lunch, one for dinner, and that’s it. Water and coffee. You’ll be…[Read more]

An 8 is currently my goal. I am really hoping to be an 8 by the end of this year. I guess that I can keep going after that.

I actually like that … because when you bought the size 14 you also bought the size 8. I think I would have preferred it more if you had bought all the way down to size 2; I don’t want you to stall when you are in your size 8’s because you don’t have skinnier jeans to work into.

I have! I hung my 16s on my bedroom door with a sign as to when I want to fit into them. I also went to Goodwill today and purchased 1 pair from size 14 down to a size 8. Going to put up a new goal pair as…[Read more]

I like that attitude!
Hopefully, it time for us all to get serious!

I’m right with you. Day 2. I didn’t weigh myself either. It really messes with my head. Instead, I focus on the benefits I’m feeling.

You are not alone.

Thanks so much! It is bothering me not weighing though. I have been weighing myself daily every day for years. Maybe this is what I need.

I am also going…[Read more]

I do alot of work in virtual recovery. OA is helpful and hearing others recovery seems to help me in remembering why I need to do the 5 bite diet. I love the five bite diet because it gets right to the point. I like not cooking extra meals for myself and not having to worry about exercise. Exercise or even just moving for me is such a…[Read more]

So true Madeleine! Good to see you!

Sheila

Always good to hear from you Gayle! I’m looking forward to the consistency in the fall as well.

I’m on day 2, and my children go back to school next week. My hungerstat will be set then and it will be a big help. I’m drinking a lot of iced coffee.

I have a lot of weight to lose, and have been dancing around this issue for far too long, so…[Read more]

I love this Madeline!

Thank you for sharing!

Working to get back on track from what turned out to be a 2 week vacation. One day down and 156 to go before my holiday vacation to Las Vegas. Put together a little journal with a “5 bite diet” sheet I found on Pinterest. Thinking the extra logging will make me even more accountable. Put my scale up for the week, which is proving to be the…[Read more]
