Right … why not?   

Great job, AAL!  

Both forms of distraction are excellent.  Personally (and I do this a lot), I like to have a cup of coffee after dinner.  It will ABSOLUTEY kill any lingering hunger.  So, have five bites, then a cup of coffee, and you are good to go.  But you have to be the type that can then fall asleep.  

Oh and I’m down from a size 24 to a size 20!  Now that’s exciting for me.

Thankfully I use a clothing service and order 20 dresses at a time.  I ordered all of my size 20s and sent all my 24s back.  Hopefully by the end of August I’ll be ordering size 18s!

Hi Lynda and Brooks!

Yes I love all the food bites!  Glad to see you two here and can’t wait to see your progress!

works getting busy so I’ll check in when I can but great things in ahead for both of you and I’m excited for all of us!

I’m finding wearing my favourite perfume helps. Whenever I get a hunger pain or think about food, I smell my wrists and stop thinking about it. I have dropped 8 pounds and had a slow start, weaning off coffee with milk and alcohol, but following the diet exactly. You are right Chloe about packing the food away after your 5 bites. It’s tempting to…[Read more]

Yessssss! Way to push through! It will only get easier, listen to that higher self, that’s very inspiring 

Day 6

This is beyond easy. It feels like I can carry on like this indefinitely. I remember feeling the same way with the potatoes after a few days and then crashing with the salt cravings but I have eliminated that variable entirely so there is literally no excuse to not just keep going. I think part of the reason this is okay for me is because…[Read more]

Nice! I think you’ll get through that one meal no problem since you’ve already made so much progress

I like that you’re counting down the days. It’s like crossing off days on a calendar anticipating christmas, except it’s kinda better because it means losing all the fat! 

Fantastic Alison!  Have you weighed in at all or are you waiting until the end of the 120 days?  I can’t remember. It’s exciting.

I’m going to sincerely try to do bars at least once a day for a few days.  Unfortunately, I have some things planned this weekend that involve going out for at least once meal. Although, I am still going to do 5 bites the best I can.  I was down another pound this  morning, so I am motivated to keep going. 170’s here I come!

It is stupidly easy, isn’t it!? Keep it up!

Day 5

This is kind of stupidly easy.

Lunch was 3 spoonfuls of homeade chili and two bites from a krinkle bar.

Dinner I ate a fig bar on the fly at work around my usual dinner. Exactly 5 bites!

I may be dropping my diuretic at least for a little while to avoid any extra complication to this mission. I know i can just go back on it if need…[Read more]

Brilliant!  

Breakfast coffee, lunch 1/2 a snickers in 5 bites, dinner 1 bite green bean, 1 bite pasta salad, 3 bites homemade sourdough bread. Totally satisfying! Another great day!

18 perfect days down, 102 to go!

Leona, you sound like a foodie to me. Not missing out on the good stuff. I took 5 bites from my sons yiros/kebab last night. It was delicious. I’ve already lost 8 pounds on this diet and are feeling better for it. I have a selection of nice cheeses and gourmet bites ready for dinner tonight. I stuggle with not being able to enjoy a class of wine…[Read more]

It really is and I find I’m putting more thought and effort into cooking!

Isn’t it great!  Isn’t eating SO MUCH better this way?!
