Strawberry! You are not alone.  I first di the 5 Bite Diet in 2006-07 and now I am trying to repeat my previous success.  I know that success in this is partially dependent on community support.  Be assured of my prayers and best wishes in this wonderful, life-giving adventure!  Sean Hallissey

Hi Gayle! Good to hear from you again, congrats for keeping most of the weight off for so long, I can’t say the same for myself right now but I’m working on it again!

Great post indeed Chloe!! Good to see you again. I am also back!! I miss being skinny. I LOVED THE FEELING!!

Looks fantastic!

your before/after picture is quite inspiring!

Wow!  Thanks for posting this, Chloe!

I happened to be at the exact weight I want to be (actually, maybe a pound lighter!), and it’s mealtime, so I’m going to go find something to eat.  But after reading your post, I lost the desire to eat.  Crazy!!

spiderchlome. thanks for your encouraging emoji!!! Sean

beclean, Yes, for us this is perfectly normal.  I  get folks all the time telling me that it is not healthy.  However, being overweight is NOT healthy.  Also, I remind people that even though I am 69 years old, in the last 10 years I have run 15 marathons.  Unhealthy people cannot do that.  I maybe crazy, but with all the Snicker Bars that I’ve…[Read more]

SCS, in fact, not only does the candy bar look delicious, it has become quite normal in these crazy days!  I must admit, though, that when I reach mu optimal  weight I will likely leave Snicker Bars off the menu for a while!!! Sean

I started reading a book on cognitive behavioral therapy to help me out with sabotaging thoughts around food. it’s supposed to help a person stick to ANY diet vs sticking to any particular diet. Most of the stuff is what Dr. Lewis already says but there are some other strategies that I feel compliment 5 bites really well. I think I’ll just post…[Read more]

Hi Strawberry –

You are doing EXACTLY what you need to do to stay motivated!! YOU have joined, started and are getting involved. YOU are making a commitment to yourself that YOU are worth it! You are worth the effort of saying no to temptation, you are worth the momentary hunger, you would do anything for the you that would do anything for the…[Read more]

Exactly right, Tonia!  The food that you don’t finish tasting today will be waiting for you at the finish line.  But NOTHING comes even close to tasting as good as being thin feels.  So keep up the good focus and find a way to pass time that doesn’t involve food.  An absolutely extraordinary life awaits you!!!

Today is day one, have had my snickers and then had an egg. Felt yucky from all the booze yesterday so I needed the egg.

I am so stuffed from all the food I ate yesterday I am not hungry at all. But my mind and greed wants me to get something tasty because I’m bored and because food does taste good. But I won’t because nothing tastes as good as…[Read more]

good work!

Yeah I don’t even mess with those, way to tempting. popcorn and other types of snack food are out for me since it’s too difficult to get just right, but that’s just me

this is amazing… love the pic…

only us understand the pic, a snicker and people would panic about what are we doing. jajaja, but I LOVE IT..!

Spoon…

Yes, I guess I am use to have nuts given that I am vegetarian for 25 years now, and somehow, they are just a usual food for me that I don’t crave it. But I will watch it, in fact I am going to count the amount of almonds that fit in the spoon for times that I don’t have a spoon and know how many almonds to eat and count it as a bite…

thanks.
