Yes indeed!  Brilliant insight, Chloe!!

Yay! Let’s talk about the 100 reasons why this is going to work…

10 pounds!! You’re a rockstar!! I love reading your posts Chloe. You have such an interesting, introspective approach. It’s quite inspiring and educational.

Can’t wait to connect with you, Dr. Lewis and everyone else.

So I switched my weigh in day to monday morning, it has been one of the better catalysts because I know I’m going to have to talk to Dr. Lewis on chat later and I want to be able to hand him some good news! I lost 1 lb this week despite a lot of mishaps and overeating, but that’s the first 10 lbs down so far! But the past 3 days have been an…[Read more]

Well said Sean!!

It’s a lifelong process Chloe! It’s about never giving up. Different times of life presents us with different challenges. Every day we make choices to move us closer to where we want to be.

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!!

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]
