Hi everyone!

Yesterday night before finally going to sleep, I had what I believe and hope was a mind-set breakthrough.

I was thinking about how to best do the five bite diet, and what it was that I was doing that was making maintenance complicated for me.

I thought about having smaller than five bite meals, to get back to my goal weight…[Read more]

Maybe don’t have your favorite salad.  I just had mine for dinner and I couldn’t stop at five bites.

Back to Snickers!

Thanks Samantha!

We’re lucky to have the five bite diet, and the scale, to help us get back on track.

In a nutshell, I’ve mostly eaten too much since being in and out of maintenance.

So here’s the plan for my next time in maintenance: eat enough, and don’t eat too much.

Back on track!

Thank you Jane for your honest insights.

I believe we all do this from time to time, and with time they do become less frequent.

Again awareness is key and you will be back on track tomorrow

Brilliantly done!

I’m joining you tomorrow!

Onwards!

Hi again everyone!

Of course it’s a five bite day tomorrow!

The fastest way back to sanity!

Onwards!

Just had a snickers for dinner!
Day 10 is done

ps. ps. I see now that I didn’t brush my teeth and prepare for the night like I normally do. I will remember to do this tomorrow, I will brush my teeth before “dinner-time” to help me know and accept that eating is done for the day.

Onwards!

ps. I’m wondering: should I eat less, for my two meals, in general?

I’m beginning to think so. I will try this tomorrow. Much less, maybe half? I had a 30 bite breakfast today. I’ll try a 15 bite breakfast tomorrow and see how I fare. Lunch will also be a 15 biter. I will try it and see!

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’m eating my own words now, as I have had an eating episode this past hour.

It began with a thought: how about if I try out having something in the evening, after all, just a small snack, something light?

So I did. And then I had another idea of what would be a good snack, then another, and another, and so on. Now it has settled…[Read more]

Thank you Samantha!

Less is the new more!

Onwards!

This is brilliant!

Small efforts everyday create massive results!

You’re doing so well creating new ideas along the way

Great Jennifer!

Let’s do it and when we slip up, let’s talk about it… I think this helps us to grow and learn, and then take action to see what we can do better next time.

I’m looking forward to my snickers bar for lunch soon

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ll try something new the next time when I feel that I want more, when I feel reluctant to share with the compost bin, or when I feel reluctant to only have half of something:

I’ll immediatly remove something from my plate! Less, instead of more!

I’ll either reduce my portion, or remove an item completely.

Either I’ll put the…[Read more]

I’m joining you Samantha!  I’m doing a 30 day countdown.  I have a lot of weight to lose.

day 29 – 179 lbs

Jennifer

Thank you Dr Lewis!

I went to the allotment before lunch, and it was a pleasure.

Now I’m back home, I’ve had lunch, and it was a fairly moderate meal. I had ham with bearnaise sauce (9 bites), chicken (2 bites), yoghurt with frosties (4 bites), half of a coconut cake (2 bites), pancake with jam (3 bites), a piece of a cabbage roll (3 bites), mac…[Read more]

You’re on board and in the mood!

I will not weigh in until the 10th day!

Let’s go! 

Only 10 days to go, I can do this!
