Dear Letileti,

I hope your injury heals up soon. Pain is a great teacher, making it crystal clear what we can and can’t do at the moment.

What is your plan for recovery?

The pasta and m&m family meal sounds lovely!

Wishing you a good day <3

We were having dinner with the whole family, and I truly enjoyed every moment of the conversation. I served myself a normal portion of fusilli pasta with mozzarella, but after just four bites I quietly threw the rest away, trying not to draw attention to myself. There were fifteen of us at the table, which actually made it easier to do without…[Read more]

Dinner:

4 bites of mozzarella and fusilli pasta
1 bite of an M&M

Here I am. 👈

I have a sequestered lumbar disc herniation, and it has completely changed my daily routine.

Because I haven’t been able to stay as active, I’ve gained about 3.5 kg (7.7 lb).

Ironically, before my injury I weighed only 46.5 kg (102.5 lb) at 171 cm (5’7”), with a BMI of 15.9. Even now, at 50 kg (110.2 lb), my BMI is only 17.1, w…[Read more]

Hi there Alison!

How are you?

Did you have the zoom call?

Hi Alison!

Living and learning, indeed!

Today it’s a snickers day here.

Onwards!

Living and learning!!!

Hi everyone!

You know what? I’m moving the goal post back to 18.5 bmi. And with this, dieting is done!

Now I’d like to see if I can stay at or nearby 18.5 bmi in the long term, easily and comfortably. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have moved the goal post to 17.5 bmi. I got a bit carried away.

I’ll have three meals today, at about four hours apart:…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had dinner now, and it was more than a five biter. I had rye-bread and dumplings.

I’ll have a snickers day tomorrow, and then maybe try a day of maintenance practice, a day of five bite diet practice, one after the other like that. A bit like how I imagine Shiela did in her strategy.

I may change my mind, of course.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had lunch: a handful of wild strawberries from the alltoment, a miniature potato, and two toasted waffles with chocolate protein pudding. The waffles were a last minute idea.

I felt grumpy while writing this, and decided to add on a small handful of sweets. Now I feel slightly happier.

Onwards

Hi everyone, and thank you Allison!

I have a sneaky suspicion that this isn’t maintenance. I don’t mean the five bite diet days that I’m on at the moment, I mean the overall time period from my first brief visit at my ideal weight until now. It feels to me more like I’m searching for maintenance. I still haven’t found it, and still haven’t…[Read more]

  I have been on a cruise and not even trying with the diet!!!  And my face and tight clothes show it!!!  I will get back on my routine this week.  Thanks for asking!!!  Ready to get the next 80 off!!!!

Thank you for continuing to share!!!  We don’t often see the maintenance stories – and those are the most important!!!
