That’s just awesome.  The little things really make a big difference and make losing weight SO WORTH IT!!

ps.

I’m noticing: when I was at the allotment yesterday, I didn’t use my little stool to sit on.

Previously, and shall I say about 45-50 lbs ago, I was always using my little stool to garden.

Yesterday I was squatting, effortlessly. (And almost effortlessly getting up again.)

This, if this remains the case, means that I don’t need to bring my…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
It’s a new day here, it’s the First of May.

I’ve had a breakfast of 30 bites: apple, yoghurt with granola, pancake with jam, sausage with ketchup, chicken, cod, mashed potato, mac&cheese, scrambled egg, soup, and bread with cheese.

Looking back and writing this all down, I do not feel deprived at all! I enjoyed it all.

My weight…[Read more]

How wonderful, Samantha!

Onwards!

Good morning! Happy Friday!!

I had a sneaky look at the scale.  I couldn’t resist…
I am 6lbs down since last Sunday

I am now 129lbs – Feels wonderful!

Alaska Gal – you’ve got this!!
Jane – no eating after midday is amazing!!  I agree its easy to eat in the evening and I’ve fired the night time eater too

💛 nice words thank you

Great to read your text, Alaska Gal!

With time and fewer bites, the weight comes off.

Truth is good.

I’ve fired the evening eater. She’s too unreliable.

An early breakfast, an early lunch, and no eating after mid-day for me.

I have water in the evening before bed. That feels good.

It’s the calm that I’m after. Calmness feels better than the…[Read more]

Thank you, i think you’re right.

both days were solid 5 bite until dinner time & after a day of work stress & I lost it so i agree with you. eating was my coping tool to anything stressful or sad.

not anymore!

-6 down from my gain

that lifted the doom i felt from the truth scale

Hi Alaska Gal!

These things happen now and then, almost like the desperate habits from before playing out everything they know to do, wanting us to be our old selves with them again.

We’ll make new choices after a few rounds of being hijacked by the old, and find new habits. There’s a beautiful new landscape further along the path, that’s what…[Read more]

Hi, well dine S!!

I had perfect 2 days this week & messed up big 2 days. Yesterday was a perfect day!

Let’s have a perfect bar day today. You & I & anyone else please join us!

Hi everyone!

I biked to the allotment and did this and that, planted some plants out, did some digging, some tidying up, and sowing. Now I’m back home, not hungry, brushing my teeth, and all is well. My muscle isn’t sore any longer, and I had a steady, slow energy that allowed me to get things done. Everything is much calmer now. I feel calmer.…[Read more]

Thank you Samantha!

I’m in a mindset now to not repeat that meal for lunch. Something else!

Onwards!

Sounds like a great breakfast!

Morning all,

16 more days to go!  I need to stay extra focused today.  My mind keeps thinking about food.

I need to stay busy this morning

Hi everyone!

I think I did fairly well for my first meal today.

This is what I had:

1/8 of an apple (2 bites)

1/2 of a piece of crisp bread with butter and cheese (2 bites)

1/2 of a mini pancake with jam (1 bite)

1/4 of a sausage (1 bite)

potato (1 bite)

chicken (1 bite)

cod (2 bites)

50 ml of yoghurt with 1 teaspoon of granola (5…[Read more]

Thank you Samantha!

I felt unfocused during the evening. Or shall I say I was focused on what I wanted to eat. I weighed in inbetween my snacks. I didn’t mind the scale going up and up. I feel that I’m inbetween my old way and a new way with eating. I’ll refocus on what I really want, instead of what I want habitually.

Onwards!

You’ve got this!

Always good to have a plan and awareness is everything

Onwards!

Thank you Samantha!

I’m aiming to cut my food volume in half tomorrow.

Today started out with a tiny brunch, and then I ate more throughout the day, and in the evening I ate even more. That’s similar to my old eating habits, not the new way that I want to establish.

Tomorrow I’ll eat earlier in the day, and stop eating earlier in the day, too.…[Read more]

Wonderfully done!

Onwards!
