I made this motivational paper chain yesterday. I was bored, and feeling hungry, and needed to keep the hands busy. :silly:

Each slip of paper has a motivational message or a “Why weight around” quote from Dr. Lewis, and are numbered Day 1-60 for my planned 5BD journey.

Every day of the 5BD I will remove the next daily message from the chain,…[Read more]

I am not sure why I never noticed it before. Interesting how much more ‘aware’ I am becoming now about a lot of things.

By now still on 5 bites.
I prefer but I have to start mantainance soon ✌

Thank you, Gayle! I am going to try to be more aware of when that guilt feeling about my weight loss efforts sneak in. Because when I recognize it and examine it, I can see that it’s not justified.

I was thinking the same thing today. I am noticing a pattern of hunger following social media or tv time.

Never noticed how many food commercials there are on tv, or how many recipes come across my FB page until now. I’m really, really wanting to eat something, but going to be strong.

The hunger pains will come, and they will go. For sure!

Today, I took some time to take care of me. I had the day off, so I indulged in a mani/pedi, did some shopping, and created an awesome motivational wall.

Lunch – 5 bites of veggie tamale
Dinner – 5 bites of veggie tamale

Have a blast! :lol:

You look so great! Have a fun time!!

The hunger and cravings ALWAYS pass. Think of them as waves that crash on the shore. Feel and notice them coming and watch them crash into calm waters that recede back into the place from whens it came.

Keep up the fantastic work!! Love reading your food logs.

Day 5- 147.5

Thank you so much, Dr. Lewis and DesignDiva!

Dinner tonight – 1 bite of vegan hot dog, 3 bites of vegetarian baked beans, 1 bit of snickers.

Brewing some coffee now as my after meal treat.

I am full and satisfied. I do not have the urge to eat more. Yay!

Had to share! I’m not as slim as I wanted to be, but I still love this picture!

Sounds like a perfect plan!! You will do great, and it will feel like a huge accomplishment to lose weight while on a trip! :cheer: (I hope you can still update here, too, so we can cheer you on!)

Yeah, I would love to come back having lost weight. Going to try to post each evening.

110.6 pounds.
I lost a little more.

But I can not enter it in weight tracking!

I am going to come back and read this post periodically today and tomorrow when I am feeling hungry. Thank you for sharing, very inspirational. And congrats on the wight loss! 8.5 in 3 days is amazing!

It was fine for the last 2 hours. I find it uncomfortable now. Not horrible. But I am thinking of my next meal already.
