Yes!!! Quality over quantity b

  I have seen similar in people I know.  And when I am in control – I BEHAVE like them.  Then when I am not in control – I don’t.  It will probably always have to be more of a decision for me than natural tendency.  But I do have hope that it will become more natural over time.  I have had glimpses of that freedom.  My cruise b…[Read more]

So great to see you here. Looking forward to reaching our goals together.

I have no word of advice and I hope Dr Lewis will answer this for you. Maybe send him a message on your weekly weigh in posts in messages and ask him.

wishing you all the best

So true Elizabeth and what I observe of slim people I know too

Michelle, your observations are always so interesting. Thank you for sharing.

The first thing I thought when you were listing the egg and half a quest as being what she ate  was ‘how #%€!+ (naughty word) depressing is that’. But I settled again when you said this isn’t forever. I think my goal just feels like it is forever away.

Go you!! I am back on track 💕

Right, guy!  Every fall that you take is a learning experience.  In its own small way, it’s going to help you get to the finish line and stay there eventually.  Just keep getting back up and look forward to your next meal so that you can have just 5 bites.

Yes michelle you remembered correctly 👍🏻

why i said this is because i have had a few 10-15 lb weight “loss” weeks & i thought id be having a 10lb weight loss week but when i didnt i had a 6 lb loss this past week i realized my bites were still too big that I could have even eaten less.

i really like what you shared, feel hopeful when you sti…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing Elizabeth! Insightful!

Hi Denise!

Happy to see you here! We have a great 5 Bite Team going, and I am happy to see one more fun person!

I have not experienced this issue. 5 bites actually gives me more energy.

I have found, that when I drink a huge amounts of water, I get more dehydrated because I am always going to the bathroom. I first questioned in my mind when Dr.…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing this Elizabeth! Today, I was actually thinking about the things you shared regarding your husband and his relationship with food.  Yes! There is so much more to life. I so want to stop having food and my weight be the forefront of my thinking. This is such a perfect reminder!!!

Thank you Denise! Yes! it is so easy to fall back into huge portion sizes.

Kylie, we are all in this together. I so can relate! I have done things like what you shared so many times. Even in the most funnest situations, I have silently lived a hellish experience in my head regarding how much I ate….the guilt, the feeling of being so uncomfortable and all all the stuff that goes with it. The compulsive eating disorder…[Read more]

Stick to your plan! I’ve found that if I go off-plan even a little bit….I quickly fall off the wagon completely. Then I am back to “regular size” portions and I find weight loss stalls.

This post is interesting. I am thinking about what I can stick to better…five bites of one type of food or five bites of different types of food.  Hmmm…. I may have to experiment with this.

So far….I am thinking that the Snickers bars are my best choice. They are perfect volume, a little crunchy, sweet and a little salty. Really shuts down…[Read more]

I can relate to this post. I keep doing more than 5 bites and get beyond satisfied to fullness. I’ve only eaten to being uncomfortably full once or twice. I know that when I am in “the groove” and eating only coffee for breakfast and five bites for lunch and five bites for dinner….I feel better. I may feel hunger during the day….but over…[Read more]

Yes! I love this Dr. Lewis and Allison! I need to shift from wanting more volume to really understanding that more volume does not add more flavor. Collect Flavor, not volume. It reminds me of the sentiment that it is better to have a few high-end pieces as your wardrobe as opposed to lots of not that great items in your wardrobe. Quality over quantity!!
