Such a motivating chat tonight! I feel so ready to lose big this week!!

In keeping with my commitment to honesty (no more denial!), I just updated my weight tracker. I guessed on the last 4 weeks and brought my weight up to 157 for today. (I want the weight tracker to reflect the actual time I’ve been on the slimming station. I have to face…[Read more]

Thank you! And good job jumping right up after yesterday!!

I’m still hoping to make the chat. And I’m still on track for the day! :cheer:

I’m about to have supper- a challenging time for me. Yes, I can! Yes, I can! Yes, I can!

:woohoo:

Wowwwww Corey!

You DID it!!!!!

You are completely right! There is always a good reason to eat too much.

Dinner: 3 PERFECT bites of lentils soup and 2 of spaghetti and shrimps.

The thing is, there is ALWAYS another reason to eat too much. Another holiday, birthday, family reunion, etc. A few a week. And you won’t remember the extra bites you eat on the Fourth a few days later, so DON”T.

But, if just can’t stick to 5 bites during these festive times (I would argue that sticking to five bites makes the occasion even…[Read more]

Lost 8 pounds this week! The ticker isn’t giving me my extra pound….
Good week last week and looking forward to a better week coming!

Good ideas! And great job getting on that scale. I fell off plan yesterday and had to force myself to weigh in today as well. I will try to call into the chat too…would be great to meet you and the others. And to hear more about these strategies you come up with. I am going to try more yoga and meditation. And maybe brushing my teeth when I’m hungry.

I fell off plan yesterday. And the scale impact was noticeable. Super bummed. But back on the plan today. A little worried about the next few days, with the holiday and my birthday in the same week.

Ok, I’m ready.

I am jumping in with both feet to show myself that I am fully committed to this. So I WEIGHED this morning. I have been too scared to do that for about a month! Of course, I could tell I’d regained most of my weight, but it still seemed impossible to face the numbers. (Denial?!) Now that I’ve faced the truth of my situation, I…[Read more]

I want to enter in a 5 bites mindset where I learn to feel my weight without the anxiety of weigh in every day.

it means learning to trust the sistem of 5 bites and always been focused and perfect.

Lunch: 3 PERFECT BITES of scrambled egg. 1 PERFECT bite of fennel salad. 1 PERFECT bite of half walnut with nutella on it. :woohoo:

I feel SO FREE and HAPPY!
Thanks to Dr. LEWIS.

Yesterday I was at a marriage, I was not so perfect with bites.
But today I had the same weight :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

This week I want to try to focus just on…[Read more]

Yes, it is hard, but you are SO CLOSE. Just one last lunge and you are there! :cheer:

Right, DesignDiva!

Thank you for the encouragement.

Still not back on track!!

I feel like I need somebody to hold my hand to get me through the first week . . . By the way, would anyone like an accountability partner for the next week? :laugh: If so, let me know!

Either way, my plan is to journal here and set my mind first thing tomorrow morning. I need to do…[Read more]

Breakfast- Coffee
Lunch – 5 bites Ravioli and coffee
Dinner- 5 bites Cheese/Crackers

Practiced yoga and meditation today when I started to get hungry. Seems like a good way to get through the weekend boredom eating/munchies.

Dinner for me is always hard….arghhhhh
Easier to eat 5 bites for lunch

Dinner. I was at a marriage. Tried not to eat too much

Lunch. 5 PERFECT bites of toast

Absolutely! And the scale was down a little more today. Not going out pays off…and now I have the proof. Just need to remember that the next few times I feel bad about declining an invitation.

I think this is what I love about the 5BD plan. Results of good choices are visible immediately, so it encourages you to keep going.

I LOVE THAT. One bite of Five different foods: Now THAT is a dinner! :woohoo:
