That’s lovely JulieNom!

Today I had my first 5 Bite Diet day off of work. I had planned it carefully, and was really looking forward to it.

First, as I had planned, I got up and just had a big unsweet iced tea. I did some laundry. To keep consistent, I did not want to have my lunch until 1:45, as the lunch time my employer assigns me is always between 1:45 and 2:45.…[Read more]

That’s great JulieNom!

I am losing weight. 185.8.

We are learning and learning. I feel emotion, mostly sadness, while on this diet. Perhaps a few times a day I feel sad. I don’t mind. It seems to me like memories that I buried with comfort food years ago are now coming to the surface. Letting go instead of trying to soothe myself with food is sort of interesting. I don’t fear hunger at the…[Read more]

Oh I just messed up, but I am learning.

This morning I tried to drink black coffee. I got a Starbucks iced coffee. The Starbucks site said that this coffee has notes of malted milk chocolate and brown sugar. I could not taste that. The taste was awful and bitter, and I ended up putting creamer in it. I did not like the taste or smell or way it…[Read more]

It will be interesting to see if shopping urges and habits calm down and follow along with the weight reduction and hunger stabilization of this diet programme. I’m looking forward to experiencing something new in this area of life.

Lovely done!

I’m an avid shopper. This extends to food as well. In the grocery store, I will buy the attractive things! Yes, I would like to cut back on what I spend but still enjoy.

Today I did well again. For my drink in the morning, I had Chik Fil A Iced Tea Unsweet, and it was good. I had 5 bites at around 2 pm.  3 bites Chik Fil A Hash Brown, 2 bites Chik Fil A Mini Chicken Sandwich. Dinner 630 pm. 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites potato chips. I made it through my 10 hour work day and was not irritable, was able to work…[Read more]

Alaska Gal that makes sense to me!

I’ve tossed out the bread that I had saved in the freezer. I wanted the space for other more beloved food items!

I had actually made up my mind not to buy more food until I’ve finished what I have, and then I saw a bunch of yummy French quiche pies when I was out and about, and I went ahead and bought more food…[Read more]

Interesting.

I find I Dont like to eat the same thing after 2 days so I freeze meals too or I just toss them. We save so much $ on this way of eating. How?

We eat so much less in all areas its just a fact. So that allows me to not feel guilty about tossing. I know what used to be 1 meal for me is now 2-3 days worth so if I made it last past 1…[Read more]

Well done!

I like this JulieNom! It’s a new time for us.

A time of plenty, and of having a stash and not eating it all automatically.

Our stomachs and brains and other organs are thanking us!

I am thinking this way: thinking of having a little stash. This is a side benefit. I am not used to things lasting long. For example, yesterday I wanted potato chips. I got one of the small bags, and ate 2 or 3 as part of my 5 bite meals. It is nice that I still have the bag and the end is not in sight. Another example: on Saturday, my father will…[Read more]
