Today was pretty good, but I was not as perfect as I should have been.

Lunch was 1/2 a Snickers, then I ate a pickle.

Supper was a chocolate covered cherry and 3 bites of potato chips.

I drank 3 cups of coffee so far, and I am going to drink another one.

And NO more bites, licks, or tastes! I can and will be perfect for the rest of the evening!

That totally works actually, just knowing how much went through my system reminds me that taking a break from eating much so much is the most sensible move!

I love your gameplay, Skinny!  Now we just have to find a way to stick to it, come hell or high water, until you cross that finish line.  Yes it will be hard to fend off temptations along the way, but it will be SO WORTH it in the end!  We are all in this together cheering for one another!

Yep.  So if you feel like tonight’s dinner, after 5 bites, wasn’t enough, fill up on the memory of all the food (extra food) you ate during Thanksgiving.  Think of all the different flavors.  Taste the white meat and the dark meat again–with cranberry sauce, of course!  Re-taste everything in your mind, and I think you’ll find it surprisingly filling!

Thanks Chloe!!

Today was really good, except I ate pickles along with my three bites for each meal. I guess my stomach is pretty stretched, and I decided pickles were better than sugary baked goods. But the salt isn’t!

For lunch I had half a snickers, then a little later I had some pickles.

For supper I had the other half of the snickers…[Read more]

Glad to see your post today! I wasn’t totally perfect today, but a lot better than I have been. It’s encouraging to see someone else checking in, too!

Phew, thanksgiving was a doozy, excited to be back on. Hooray for establishing a new habit! Also happy to know I can lose it faster than I gained it over the holiday. Good luck y’all!

It’ll be okay because you can lose it faster than you can gain it, it is just a lot of water retention from the extra food, extra salt, etc. Get back on and ride it out, you can do it!

Ok, here is my weight: 211.2 lbs. 9 lbs up in a week!!

Maybe Thanksgiving just isn’t worth going off the diet for!

I think I’m going to weigh in on Sundays from now on.

Perhaps I can beat my best weekly loss this week!

Oh dear. I was awful today! That first 5 bite meal IS hard, and I failed.

This whole week was a flop, starting last Sunday. But now Thanksgiving is OVER.

All the Thanksgiving food is gone, and there are no more big or unusual happenings planned for next week.

I have a plan and I am going to stick with it!

First, I think I know why I’m…[Read more]

Great.  Start as quickly as you can.  That first perfect 5-bite meal sets all of the wheels in motion, and it’s downhill from there.  But executing that first perfect meal is the hard part.  Skip breakfast and be perfect for lunch.  Then you are perfectly back on track.  You WILL feel so relieved.  You got this!!!

Well, I ate a Snickers for lunch, but I had extra bites after supper. I need to get re-motivated!

I did not drink any coffee today because I have had laryngitis all week, and supposedly caffeine is bad for your voice. I am going to sing with our church choir at a funeral tomorrow, and I was desperate to get my voice back. It’s back now,…[Read more]

Thanks Dr Lewis!

We had a really good Thanksgiving.

It was truly a learning experience for me! I made a ‘normal’ plate, but remember thinking “Wow, each of these ‘portions’ would make an entire meal for me normally!” I ate some of everything, and only finished my turkey and pie. I didn’t need to though. Old habits!!

One thing I…[Read more]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Yes, today is a free day.  But be smart … be reasonable.  You won’t have fond memories of this Thanksgiving if you way overeat.   I give the same recommendation every year:  Taste everything, finish nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yesterday was perfect, just a Snickers for lunch and another Snickers for supper.

I didn’t check in because I took Nyquil for my cold, and then I got too sleepy.

I’m excited for my free day today!

I hope you all stay safe and have a wonderful day!!!

Today was perfect!

I don’t know why I’ve been having such trouble the past few days! Today was easy, thankfully.

For lunch, I had 5 bites of a ham sandwich and threw the rest away.

For supper, I had a Snickers bar. I cut it into 5 bites so I could visualize how much I am eating.

I have had almost no voice for 3 days, and a…[Read more]
