Activity

Sounds like a great plan.
Having food around can be dangerous!
It was genius giving it to your daughter. Win/win!
You’ve got this!

More relaxed today. I have a lot of pain from helping my daughter move.
But staying home, resting, taking Aleeve.

I have my sugar free spearmint gum, sugar free bubble yum, my hot tea and ice water. Will try warm water if I need it.
Lunch will be half of a monterey burrito. It is Something hot with a lot of protein and satisfies me.

It’s so…[Read more]

I ended up skipping lunch. I just couldn’t eat. I did have five bites at dinner. I just can’t get this weight off soon enough.

Tomorrow is a new beginning for me.
I took a 3 hour nap today. I’m ready to spend time on me.

Boundaries still need to be learned but I am starting right now with a new day and not taking care of or moving anyone in with me again.
I could cry because I feel a huge sense of relief..

After reading Dr Lewis Book again…

Dr Lewis,
I like what you just said:
be afraid to eat too much for awhile. I’m good with that. Just a few bites for lunch, a few bites for dinner.

Be afraid to eat or realize what it will do to your body. I needed that.
Thank you.

Fine — be afraid to eat too much for awhile. I’m good with that. Just a few bites for lunch, a few bites for dinner. That’s it. Keep the ball rolling until you cross the finish line, which is not that far down the road given how well you are doing. GREAT!

If you can stay away from the food, you will walk away a winner, despite how the dice roll. Good luck!! :laugh:

Thanks so much.

Happy Belated Birthday Dr. Wishing you a wonderful year!!!!

Glad to hear you had a wonderful Birthday Dr. Lewis! Happy belated Birthday!

Way to go everyone! Sorry to hear about the accident Sharon – glad your husband is okay. I had a rough weekend myself with having to take my father in law to the hospital. Since my mother in law passed away he’s been having a lot of health issues. This week really didn’t go as well as I had hoped, but am determined to keep on going and get right…[Read more]

Headed to Tulsa for the week. 5 days, 10 bars! Wish me luck at the casino – using the money I won’t be spending on food! Woo hoo!

ILUVMYCOFFEE –

You remind me of an Actor Christian Bale, who played an anorexic in a movie the Machinist. His wife, Cebe, and my wife were good friends at church. Anyway, Christian says that when he got down to about 120 to play the role, he felt a remarkable sense of calmness and ease. It is a great thing to get those inflammatory cytokines…[Read more]

I do not want to say that is easy for me.
But probably having a “rule” can help in overcoming lots of eating and overeating problems.

Hi all,

I had a few great days followed by a few not so great days. I work 13 hr days and when I come home at 10 usually eat dinner. I’m not sure when to have my bites throughout the day, or if I should change dinner time. I tried 5 bites three times a day but then I kept allowing myself more than I intended for the day. And…[Read more]

Thanks so much lumycoffee.
You know I am using 5 bites to overcome overeating and bulimia.

Letileti, I think it is wonderful that 5BD is helping so many people & I appreciate you sharing the struggles that it is helping you overcome.

The longer I stick with it, the calmer I feel. I was so anxious about food and always had so…[Read more]

Yep, I messed up yesterday to, but Im starting to get up even earlier to get on here and read some of the old post for ideas and motivation to help me throughout the day when those hard tests to eat more than 5 bites x 2 comes my way. we can do this!

Happy for you Shelly! Prayers to you as well to reach your goal:-)
