So lovely to see your journaling again. You are very inspirational Dr Collins xx

Well done Shelly. Two times you eat. Water, tea coffee , iced lemon water. You can do this Shelly. I am right with you. Dig our heels in and when we want to eat for no other reason than eat for emotion we stop right there immeadialty. Have a drink of anything , coffee tea water and write down Immeadiatly what is going on emotionally. Eating is not…[Read more]

Awww Shelly I hope you find some relief and understanding with the therapist. Please stay here which is the best place to be. You can beat this. You absolutely can. I have arthritis hip pain Shelly from all the running I used to do. When i overeat , my pain rushes back like a wave and it is so Painful. I wish you only peace, pain relief and…[Read more]

Well, I am going to get some help.

I am  seeing my therapist for depression every week like I did back in 2014 when I lost this weight

and taking my pain med Diclofenac 75 mg twice a day.   The pain causes me anxiety and I cannot do the 5 bite diet when I am hurting.

I will see if this makes it a little easier

Shelly

Very interesting indeed!

Thank you both for the suggestions, reading this:

10 Common Cravings and What They Reveal about Your Emotional Health

This helped a lot – I am craving cheese (which is odd because I do not eat cheese often if at all)  and oily food and my inability to keep a handle on eating is most likely coming and stemming from…[Read more]

Also, Kristina, feeling a little “empty” in the stomach is … exciting!  It’s a gentle reminder of where you are going.  It’s a place that’s unique, powerful, and exceptionally healthy.  You will be the envy of everyone you know.  And yet, all you need to do to get there is to hold off on eating mindlessly for awhile.  Look forward to the chal…[Read more]

I do find weekends are really tough too, I have lost 20lbs or more on this diet previously without ever being able to have a perfect weekend (not that I recommend doing it that way) What I am trying to say that, with this diet you can loose weight even if you fall of now and then, with other diets you fall of in the weekend and it will all be…[Read more]

Weekends because of corona have been in the house, and we use to go out which made the weekends way easier because we were out non stop

Boredom and worry, my husband came from the dentist and was not feeling well so to be frank I started to eat my feelings even though that is not healthy at all

it’s like food is a pacifier for me, or a smoke break and I don’t have any tools aside from willpower to help me when things get more difficult

Hi.  Why?  Is it because you are home and so close to the kitchen?  Is it because the family is constantly munching on something?  Is it boredom?  What do you typically do on the weekends?

Yes I continued to struggle and keep eating today, looking for any tips or advice for weekends Dr. Lewis, I am struggling with the weekends in particular

Going to end my day here, today was not my strongest day I really struggle on weekends

What are best tips for avoiding food during the day I find that during the week it’s very easy to adhere to this particular diet because I am moving and consistently working all day to the point where I don’t have time to breathe till night when it comes to the weekend I have a lot more free time and I am prone to getting very close to comfort or…[Read more]

Going to post all food logs today, but pretty happy because my weight was: 174.4 today! I am officially no longer medically considered overweight

Second the healthy bites, and more bites – in my case I am eating all of my bites at night so I get 10, and as time goes on probably going to add edits like eating more bites for each mile I walk so at night when I am with family I don’t feel so weird because I am still eating as much as everyone – could not do this eating candy bars and coffee -…[Read more]

Becky I am so sad to read your post. I know how awful, disappointing and depressing it can be to it be able to stick to the diet. I have suffered with bulimia forever and the five bite diet is the only tool which I have honestly embraced in conquering my obsession with food obsession and eating. If we fall down , we get up again. The snickers bars…[Read more]

I’m sorry, too, Becky, but I 100% agree with Pia.  This diet is just a tool.  Intermittent fasting is also a tool.  But if you have a body that needs repair, you need to find a tool that will work for you to fix the problem.  I truly believe that the best, universal tool to lose weight is the 5BD, but again, there are outliers.  Why not try eati…[Read more]

Great start!!!
