Thank you! Yes definitely keeping the bites normal size. I find what’s working for me is setting aside 5 “bite” sizes of food and then eating each one really slowly.

Today was another perfect day. Excited to step on the scale again and see where my weight is at tomorrow.

L – coffee & 5 bites of a turkey panini, multivitamin

Indeed Chloe!  Every time I reread your entire thread I get inspired to lose weight–and I don’t have anymore weight to lose!!

Brilliant, Raya!  When you are not doing bars, it is SO IMPORTANT to keep your bites sizes normal and to stop at 5–no matter what.  But you are doing it!  GREAT!!!

Thanks Dr and Meri!

Mom life keeps me so busy that sleep sounds better than food at times.

I’m glad we’re here to cheer each other on toward our goals!

Chloe, you are doing amazing!!!! I’ve been reading through your journal and I am in awe of you. Thank you for setting this example. It’s really comforting to know you’re somewhere in the world experiencing what we’re experiencing and SUCCEEDING. Yes!!!!

I’m going to start sharing my own progress in a daily log, too. Keep it up!

Day 21

3 weeks in and I rode 18 miles on my bike today! It was enjoyable and easy, I’m quite surprised. I went at a very slow/comfy pace. Excited to log my weight tomorrow to see my progress. zzzz

Love it, Chloe!  Thank you!  You are an inspiration to us all!

Yeah, it feels good!

Day 20

I’m doing great! Still! Still?! so I guess I’m farther in than I’ve ever been so to speak because last time I only got to 16 days or so before I started taking “top ups” on the weekend. It started with just doing 20 bites extra but morphed into terribly uncomfortable buffet weekend and then a really hard week of re…[Read more]

For sure unrelated to the diet.  Claritin should take care of it.  I am really excited for you, Chloe!  It sounds like you are totally in the groove!

Day 19

Easy day today, no energy issues at all. No major circulation stuff. Still had a problem with orthostatic hypotension, but good otherwise.

I did develop some hives randomly and I have no idea what is going on with that. They have persisted for a few days but will hopefully go away soon  hopefully unrelated to what is going on with diet.

Hi Megan!  You had your baby one month ago and you are already back….that’s so inspiring!  You are going to do great.  Good luck, and hang in there! 

We are so happy you are back and can’t wait to see what you can do!

Day 18

So far so good, had breakfast instead and did lunch as usual. I think I prefer just doing lunch and dinner. Anyways, meditation and staying in a positive place mentally does wonders. It’s really nice being free of my addiction to food, not using it as an emotional crutch throughout my day. I am operating off of a different food entirely!

You are totally getting into the groove.  This is about the time that everything becomes really exciting.  Are you there?

Hi Maria!

Yes!  Great!  Bring on the hunger.  Bring it on!  Hunger is the feeling of success!
