YES!! That’s it!! You did it!! And … how did it feel? :woohoo:

Not tonight, but next week for sure. I forgot to post last weeks chat, so you can view that in preparation for next week. :cheer:

Thank you! Just finished 5 bites of meatballs from my favorite Italian restaurant. And threw the rest out! My friend was bewildered. Didn’t understand why I didn’t want to bring the rest home. LOL

I just told him that I don’t care for the taste of reheated leftovers.

mindset is fundamental. I had never noticed that as long as we look pictures and advertising about food, it is harder to avoid it. it is also true that food advertising is EVERYWHERE.

Throwing food away is hard sometimes! you did it.

designdiva76 you are doing GREAT!

Lunch – 2 bites smoked salmon, 3 bites of poached egg
Dinner – 5 bites deli turkey

I love that, Corey. Yes: when you finally start to pay attention to the small details that affect you the most, you start to pay attention to the small details in other aspects of life as well. Nice discovery! :laugh:

Did pretty well today. Not perfect, but close.
Lunch – 3 bites of hard boiled egg, 2 bites of snickers
Dinner – 5 bites veggie tamale
Off plan – 2-3 bites of popcorn, 2 sips of wine

I had company over, and was feeling anxious. So I indulged in a handful of popcorn, and a couple sips of wine (threw the rest out). Not going to beat myself up…[Read more]

Yes, I can!!

I made it through the morning and my 5-bite lunch. But I did have a couple of moments when I came close to just giving up and eating, planning to “start again tomorrow.” Such dangerous thinking!! And it’s all because of the overeating I did yesterday. Once I have ruined my winning streak, my “monster” always tells me to keep…[Read more]

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.

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
