Activity

Thanks Dr Lewis
I feel like a failure
My daughter is living in my house and thinks the 5 bite diet is not healthy
Not eating breakfast slows the metabolism and makes me extremely tired.
So I’ve been eating a low carb breakfast. I have heard a lot of 5 biters say it’s hard to get started again after a vacation and I’m having that problem right…[Read more]

Great, Shelly! Welcome back. You know what you have to do, and you’ve done it before, so as hard as it is for you, just imagine how much harder it is for someone else like you who doesn’t have your experience with this diet. That puts you yards ahead of the crowd already. Now, with that lead and that advantage, stay committed and focused. The…[Read more]

The beautiful thing about this diet is that you are always on … and often off. We just want, in the end, to put together more “on” days than “off” days. But life happens.

But when you have fallen hard, and given that you TRULY want to be thin, then just start again at that moment. Make the personal, internal commitment to finish this race,…[Read more]

You’re doing great, Pia. Like Beth says, just hang in there. You’ve got this. Just let the time pass. Even watching 3 motion pictures in a row is VERY PRODUCTIVE, as long as you don’t involve food.

Exactly

Oh yes it does help, boredom makes me want to eat!

That’s awesome Pia! You can do it! Just keep busy – I find that helps

Thanks Beth it’s so good to have you cheering on me, so far I have done well today it’s 4 in the afternoon and I only had 3 bites of a peanut butter KitKat and one bite of bacon, now I just need to get through the evening, which is always a bit harder, but I will keep going.

Love it! I can’t wait to see how you’re doing

Ok Dr Lewis I will deal with it, nothing is going to stop me I will keep going.

Thanks Beth, yes I will keep going no matter what because I’m afraid if I give up I will regain everything I lost.
Tomorrow I will update my weight tracker so that spurs me on today.

18 perfects!! Great job, everyone! :cheer:

And you’re all inspiring me to get back on track . . .

S.O.S.!!

I have spiraled downward and completely out of control . . . I have no idea how to pick myself up again. I keep trying but only last a few hours . . . I’m sure I have regained all the weight but I’m even sadder about the “monster” being in control again. I thought I had it beat . . .

Ok, I’m hoping that publicly confessing my fall and…[Read more]

I have to see an orthopedic surgeon June 8
Yes. Bone on bone right knee
Yes. I know. I have to loose the weight
But eating bars is too hard for me. I try, I blow it, I give up,
I try, I blow it, I give up
So I try to adjust the diet.

Can’t do just 5 bites twice a day
And now I walk with a crutch 24 hours a day
I deserve it.

I know I have…[Read more]

Every step in the right direction helps and I know you can do it Pia The fact that you’re here and are posting means you are engaged and willing. Don’t beat yourself up just keep on going and you’ll get there

Perfect day yesterday

Thanks Dr Lewis, I think maybe because I have already lost a lot and people keep telling me how skinny I am maybe because of that my desire to eat sometimes gets stronger because I already feel skinny, I don’t know, I’m just trying to figure out why I keep derailing, another thing is this, when I sometimes feel like I haven’t done perfect, I then…[Read more]

Pia — you ARE going to get headaches, shaky, etc. You know this. You’ve read about it. Except it, and look forward to it. BRING IT ON! Since you know you are going to feel these things, let’s just see how bad those symptoms can become. See if your body can throw something at you that is unbearable. When put in perspective, these symptoms…[Read more]

This is why it helps so much to have a rigid program to follow. I don’t care what you eat, but I do care about the number of bites you take. Be exact. Be consistent. Although you will go into the meal thinking that you need more, you will always leave the meal surprise and thrilled that those 5 bites did the job!!

And again, all success stems…[Read more]

I’m not doing perfect I tend to do one day ok and next day I blow it, but today I did ok, I was very busy at work that always helps when I’m bored I tend to think about food all day long, then it gets really hard. I could have been done with this journey a long time ago if I could just stick to it perfectly.
You are doing so well I wish I could do…[Read more]
