Hi JulieNom!

It’s interesting to read what’s going on. In the future when you look back I think you’ll have a little smile about it all!

Remember what Dr Lewis is suggesting: eat the five bites quickly and then be done with eating until next time. Under a minute and that’s that!

Try to think of the food a little bit like medicine – something we…[Read more]

Last night I was not able to go to sleep, and I got up and ate. Not 5 bites either. I had cookies, and the chips and sour cream dip. I had seen some jelly beans in the kitchen earlier in the day, and I wanted some, but of course I said no. But after I ate the cookies and the chips, I went back to get some, and they were gone. I was upset. I regret…[Read more]

Today I woke up excited and motivated, and had my black iced tea with creamer. I had super energy again. I did not get hungry until 11:30 am. At that time, I decided to try a new routine. I had my first 5 bites (brownie) during my 10 min break at 12:45, and my second 5 bites (McDonalds Fish Filet and French Fries with Unsweet Tea) during my second…[Read more]

We’re learning and learning. More experiences and more awareness!

I did not write up the rest of yesterday. I went off the rail yesterday: had a dinner, and forgot to take my vitamin. Was not worth it. I had the Lean Cuisine Shrimp Scampi and it had an awful fake sauce, plus it was hard to chew. I was way too tired for dinner anyway, and just wanted to go to bed. Now I feel bloated, as I had cookies also. I…[Read more]

I was so motivated this morning! I feel great after no breakfast and my morning caffeine drink (with cream though). Then, for lunch, I decided to have 5 bites of potato chips with sour cream dip: always my favorite. Well, that was not filling at all, so I ended up eating more of them, and cookies as well. I never noticed before that potato chips…[Read more]

Thanks! I know you will hit your goal soon!

I am sorry I missed your post earlier. It has been a very hectic life for me lately with traveling for work. I hope you are doing well. There are some videos out there called the winning lifestyle. And when you hear them describe their diet it is very similar to what I’m doing here with just very little food to five bites in our case on three d…[Read more]

Way to get back in the zone after many “attacks” on your goals.

I get those too, sticks and stones sticks and stones

We got this!

I will hit 149! Going to get there putting it out there so I will got for it to achieve it!

You will get to 170’s!!!! Then you’ll be so proud

I had a great sleep and woke up feeling wonderful. I tried to have Milo’s Unsweet Tea, but it was very bitter and I ended up adding cream. Then, I waited until 2:30 pm to eat, but I began to have doubts. I saw some other diet videos on my YouTube and began to wonder if another plan would be better. Next, I began to think, “I can eat all I want all…[Read more]

I was thinking that too…I am giving my poor stomach a rest.

It’s the early afternoon of day three of maintenance. I’ve had one teaspoon of cucumber relish for lunch, and now my stomach feels good again!

I think that’ll be all for today.

Great job JulieNom!

Friday night, I couldn’t sleep, and was up grocery shopping online. It was such fun! I did not eat extra, though. On Saturday morning at 7 am, I had to go out to breakfast with my father. This is the weekly routine. It threw off my schedule, but my father would have been upset if I did not go. I just had 5 bites of eggs. I told my father all about…[Read more]

It feels so good to let go of fixed ideas about food, in thoughts, and in clearing out old food.

Today is the beginning of my third day in maintenance, and I will respect my hungerstat.

Staying on the plan is the freedom, and going overboard isn’t.

I went a bit overboard with food and my stomach felt uncomfortable.

I think it was a good lesson…[Read more]

Some things I had stashed, I forgot about altogether. Great to hear you are feeling a good energy!

Well done JulieNom!

I’ve sorted the freezer out as I was still having plenty of energy to do things. Now I’ve kept the best things and let go of the rest.

What a lovely feeling!

Me too. I threw out some of the things from last week that I was saving up. Then I got some fresh new things, because each week will be better.
