My Current Plan is:
3 meals of 5 bites each, resulting in the volume of each meal totaling about ¼ cup

In the end as a big guy – I was in control 90% of the day – did good leaving food on the plate and was down in weight this AM – but I pledge to not beat
myself up and resolve to be as PERFECT as possible today.

Day 5 of my BAR CHALLENGE!

Already feel like I’m very close to my low end of maintenance. Going to press on as I promised until April 28th. I am hosting a challenge and others are depending on me. Trying to remember that I a link in a chain. It’s also very important for me to FINISH what I’ve started. Maybe I will even reach 114/115.

Hi Michelle-

I am so sorry about your brother. I had a patient with a Glioblastoma and it was quite tragic for her and her whole family (me too!). She was too young also. So unfair.

Life can definitely be challenging and those challenges can sometimes hit us when unexpected. We all slip. Difference is, when we get up right away, little damage is…[Read more]

Looks like you’re making great progress Neil! Keep it going. Push through the cravings a bit more each day to get optimal results. It’s so hard, I know. At the same time, I notice that when I start to take a nibble more one day it can give me license to nibble a bit more the next day. You’re doing great. For me, I know that fast and furious is the…[Read more]

Day 3: 212,8
0,8 lbs down since yesterday ( That’s 2 lbs in 2 days total)

Ate a Snickers bar at 10.30 in the morning with my supplements and filtered coffee with sweetener.

I won’t eat the second bar before 20.00.Yesterday I made the mistake to have my last meal too early (lunch) and I had mild insomnia all night. :ohmy:

This “cholent” looks yummy. Congratulations on not finishing the whole thing! When I like something very much and don’t want to throw it in the trash, I pack it with me for my next meal…

I’m really sorry for your brother and your mother…
They say that the dead can hear you when you think about them and their soul can feel your love. I am absolutely sure this is true….
You might be better eating 10 + 10 bites during these first days. It is satisfying, you get through social gatherings without anyone noticing that you diet, and…[Read more]

So true

Thank you

Neil

Niiice – I love how neat looking is your food journal.

Also – so disciplined

Kudos to you

Great mindset – especially focusing on the positive. My CBT tehrapist calls it giving ourselves credit, very necessary for long term success.

Good luck

Neil

Great journal – it’s encouraging to see your struggle and yet keeping plugging away at it. Life is hardly ever a straight line – more like a zig zag where persistence wins the race.

Good luck,

Neil

Day 2 – OK – but mixed bag

Meal one – before: business meeting with partner over “cholent”

That’s for sure!! I like day 5 better than 4!!!

Day 4: 2 bars and nothing else

I’m excited and know that it will just keep getting easier and easier . . .

Thank you! I’m feeling weak again today but am fighting to stay strong . . .

I will confess that I came dangerously close to ripping open a second bar at supper . . . I’m so glad that I made a commitment to the bar challenge with Gayle. I’m also so glad that I had just explained to my children why I am having a bar for my meals. Accountability…[Read more]

Wonderful how you’re thinking through all your struggles- mental, emotional, and physical. So valuable!
