You’re soo close Pia! Just keep going forward – you got this!

Awesome Gayle! I love your posts! You’re doing great

Thanks Gayle, I did feel great after doing that, but I still feel like every day is a struggle in fact every hour is a struggle, but I am going to struggle on until I’m done done, today I had a snickers for lunch and a snickers for dinner but I still tasted 2-3 bites of the the food the rest of the family had, I really need to stop doing that, but…[Read more]

Shelly–NO! Start there in Alaska! Why not? Pick 5 of the best looking food items, take a bite of each one, and be done with it! You may remember those five bites later, but if you eat a lot of food just to eat it, you won’t remember any of it later.

Day 10 – May 24 – Brain & Food Connection Challenge.
10 day Mini Challenge!

1/10 was a success!! Today will be on target too.

Already preparing for long, holiday weekend challenges. I will not be taken off guard. That’s one of my triggers that has previously derailed me.

Nice job Pia! Leaving a cheesecake behind IS a big accomplishment!!

Perfect! Tuesday, May 23

Thanks 5 B Girl

Yesterday I did much better than I have for a long time. I am off from work this week and I find it really hard when I’m off from work because I feel like celebrating with extra food. Yesterday I had a doctors appointment and after that I went to a nice cafe and bought myself an americano and a caramel cheesecake, I sat outside in the beautiful…[Read more]

I love this. I am currently at meetings in Alaska and food is always in front of me. I want to do this but it may have to wait until I return home Saturday afternoon. I’m going to try to start Wednesday May 24 WHILE I am still here….
Very. Busy days and on the go

Perfect!

That’s so true Dr Lewis I probably could be done now if I had stuck to it perfectly, I will do it perfectly from today that’s it, if I stay committed I can finish this within a few weeks. I woke up this morning with a sore throat last time I had a sore throat I lost 10 pounds in a week so I decide to see it as a good thing, a great reminder not to…[Read more]

Perfect!

Great idea, 5Bite! :cheer:

It does get easier and easier!!

Nice job!!

This morning was my weekly weigh-in. Three more pounds gone . . . So happy!

5-bite eating is becoming very habitual, which makes it so much easier than that first week or two. I am going to try my hardest to keep it this way!!

Thanks!!

I completely understand that struggle, Pia!

One thought is that you can brainstorm ways to make mealtimes more enjoyable for you. In other words, try to make sure food volume is the only thing you’re sacrificing. For awhile, I was coloring from an adult coloring book at each meal so that I could still enjoy relaxing and socializing without having…[Read more]

I like your little reminders, Gayle!

But remember, Pia, that you don’t have to give up the enjoyment of eating for very long–just until you cross the finish line. So hurry up! But, since you are doing this thing for a bit longer, you might as well enjoy it! LOVE how clean you feel when you under-eat. Note how sharp your mind is. Note how light you feel on your feet. It’s a…[Read more]

So glad you came back, Shelly! I, too, have come and gone several times . . . There’s no shame in that. You’re not giving up! You’re determined!!

I hope you’ll join my challenge so that we can celebrate every perfect day we manage for the rest of the month. Each one counts and takes us closer to our goals! :cheer:
