Cheering you on!

I am keeping my 5 bite days to bars.  Working great so far!  I do a protein bar for lunch and a snickers for dinner. It does help to not think about it.

I believe he said it was around bmi of around 16 is when, at least in the US, they start to view possible diagnosis of

anorexia. Do you have a doctor that has your history over many years? If you have been around this weight for many years, and became pregnant around this weight then  you just may have a tendency to be naturally thin.

Congratulations

Bravo!

Today has been a great day!! I had some bites I’d turkey pepperoni and a dark chocolate almond butter cup. Lots of water and some coffee tonight is dinner out with a girlfriend and I’m going to have 5 bites of whatever I want on the menu!!!! So much food freedom. Tomorrow is a travel day so I’m sticking to bars and coffee and water…[Read more]

I am happy for you

Thank you so much 🙏 I also listened to Dr. A’s zoom the other evening, but honestly I didn’t catch that part about the BMI factor. Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Could you tell me again exactly what he said about that? It would really help me understand better. 💛

You can do this!! Cheering you on. Keep going!

I’m cheering you on Elizabeth!!! I’m focused on mainly bars as well this week other than a meal out with a friend.  I find bars a lot more structured when I’m getting back to it! We’ve got this and you are going to do amazing!

Thank you so much for the support!! This forum is wonderful. I’m at 157lbs as of this morning and had a perfect 5 bite day! Onwards and upwards. I think the goal for me is staying busy so I don’t think about food.

Wow! Sounds like a bunch of drama that you don’t need. Listening to the zoom from Dr.A evealation the other day he disagreed with all that those doctors & what they were saying. I agree get the iron levels looked at I heard that 14-15% BMI is the concern range not 17.5% so maybe they are trying to make more of this than needs to be. So sorry your…[Read more]

On Monday morning, after an amazing weekend of swimming, I went into the hospital for routine check-ups. They asked me to stay for a day hospital admission, and from there it turned into an acute ward stay because, according to them, my anemia is caused by “eating disorders.”

The truth is, I’ve had this anemia since birth — even back when I…[Read more]

Hi everyone 🌸

I wanted to share my recent experience with you.

Because of my congenital anemia and my chronically low iron levels, I was admitted to the hospital for some checks. Even though all my tests came back perfect (vitamins, cholesterol, glucose, vitamin D, vitamin K, etc.), except for the iron which has always been low for me since…[Read more]

Hi Elisabetta 🌸

I totally understand what you mean — it can be really hard to stick to 5 bites with normal food. Using bars as a structure until your hungerstat is reset sounds like a smart temporary solution.

You’re not alone in this, many of us have gone through the same struggle. Seeing others who have reached Dr. Lewis’s goal and maint…[Read more]

🌸 Thank you so much Alaska Gal!

I really appreciate your encouragement 💕. The swimming race went well, and I felt proud just to participate 🏊‍♀️.

You’re right, with all the swimming I’m doing, I probably need a few more bites for extra fuel and energy. It’s always a balance between following the plan and listening to my body.

I’m so grat…[Read more]

Thank you for the reminder!!!  I am getting back to my routine, and that was a big part of it!!!
