Yes great, bring on the hunger, like that parable “little worms eating my fat”, I’m really hungry all the time from I wake till I go to sleep all I think about is food, my hunger stat should be set now after almost a week on bars, but I will power through let “the worms eat up all my fat”. :laugh:

I am not leaving. I am facing HUNGER head on!

How can I add pixtures here?

Indeed! Hunger is just a sign that you are breaking down fat. And as hard as it might seem to endure that hunger, it is much harder on the bard–in the long run–to NOT lose the weight. So use whatever means necessary to avoid eating. Bring the hunger on! Challenge it to lead you astray. But don’t give in.

When I am sooo HUNGRY, it is because little worms are eating my fat.
Okay.
“Go on and have a good job” I tell them!

Your body is giving you signals that you are LOSING your extra weight!

I go on telling myself why I need overeating?

Just two reasons
Very HUNGRY. That’s a good sign I am losing weight!!!!

Need to pig out. But with 5 bite diet I can taste everything.

Being HUNGRY=losing weight!

I am usually most HUNGRY and have lots of CRAVINGS in late afternoon or evening.
Those are the hardest moment for me .
Nevertheless I go…[Read more]

We should be there to stay with them, not just to eat or overeat.

I know it is HARD.

It is HARD to change our habits.
Once changed ….That’s done!

So true.

Yes you’re right mind and habit changing game, and I will keep fighting.

Pia you are describing PERFECTLY what happens.
But now try to think in a different way.
Read and reread the Dr. Lewis book, to find any answer.

How is it going?

Yesterday TOM hit. And I woke around 11pm in a severe anxiety attack. Drank a very small glass of wine to get my heart rate under control, after my meditation wouldn’t work. First glass in over a week, and on a nearly empty tummy, so it worked pretty quickly. Watched a few episodes of West Wing, and settled back in for the night…[Read more]

“Feasting mind” love that expression, that’s exactly what I feel when I go out, I feel like I have too eat everything on my plate and every leftover on my kids plates, and then I have to feel so stuffed that I can hardly get up, breaking those habits is really hard!

Great job I got another day bars only too

Day 3 bars only – success!
Weight = 158

To me it is harder for dinner. But as soon as I remain inside 5 bites PERFECTLY, I can do it.

A little harder if I go out and start thinking in a feasting mind.

I can understand PERFECTLY.
We have to be perfect the first three days to reset hungerstat and wrong habits of mindless eating.

I know it is HARD.

I do not know it.
Nevertheless I think that it is only a problem of hungerstat.

You do not need it.
Just follow Dr. Lewis advices.

Be patient for the first three days. Then you will not be anymore so HUNGRY.

That’s great yesterday was perfect so far today’s on track too

I’m so happy with my progress so far and looking forward to weigh in on Monday. We had some friends call last night and I was so worried they might ask us over for dinner because they have been talking about that. I told my husband later that I worried I would go off the diet because “I can’t go there and just eat 5 bites!” His response – “Yes,…[Read more]
