Great job, Beth!

Major, major crash last night . . .

I must and will have a perfect day today.

I will check in again after lunch to report on either 0 or 5 bites. I can do this!! If I have done it perfectly for 5 1/2 weeks, I KNOW I can do it perfectly again today. I MUST do whatever it takes to be perfectly back on track!!!

Thanks for contributing, Gayle and Beth!

Yes, you will be there so soon! You’re doing great! :cheer:

Your strategies are absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing them!

Perfect!

Great job, Gayle!!

Join in anytime, Shelly! And remember, you don’t have to take time posting much. Just one “perfect” when you succeed. You can do it!

Perfect!

Perfect!

This morning was my weekly weigh-in. Three more pounds gone . . . So happy!

5-bite eating is becoming very habitual, which makes it so much easier than that first week or two. I am going to try my hardest to keep it this way!!

I completely understand that struggle, Pia!

One thought is that you can brainstorm ways to make mealtimes more enjoyable for you. In other words, try to make sure food volume is the only thing you’re sacrificing. For awhile, I was coloring from an adult coloring book at each meal so that I could still enjoy relaxing and socializing without having…[Read more]

So glad you came back, Shelly! I, too, have come and gone several times . . . There’s no shame in that. You’re not giving up! You’re determined!!

I hope you’ll join my challenge so that we can celebrate every perfect day we manage for the rest of the month. Each one counts and takes us closer to our goals! :cheer:

Wonderful! It sounds like you’ll be going for a 10 out of 10. And I know you can do it!! :cheer:

I completely understand, Pia! And I bet posting on the forum will be helpful for you. It helps me greatly.

You can do this!! And it will be over in no time!! :cheer:

Love your sticky note messages, Gayle!!

Today I resisted the lie that I should eat more bc I was eating out rather than having a normal home-cooked meal. TRUTH: I can enjoy a meal just as much by savoring 5 bites of it. In fact, that will bring me more pleasure than overeating it! Also, I likely have many years ahead of being able to eat a…[Read more]

Wow, Kathe! I’m so inspired by your success story. But I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through in the past year.

Wonderful, Kathe!! So excited for you!

Great job, Kathe!! And now you’ve got the momentum of a solid 5B day behind you! :cheer:

Great strategy, Chelsea! I think that is an excellent way to get going. You will make it!

I have had times when I’ve tracked and celebrated every single hour I went without eating. And it was hard to make it through even one!!

But as you know, it gets easier. I’m sure you’ll adjust very quickly since you’ve done this before. And those 10 pounds…[Read more]

Yes, we’re here for you. And, yes, you can start now! As soon as you commit to it and count yourself as back on the diet, you will feel so much better. It’s the considering it and putting it off that can make you miserable! (Yes, I have some experience with this . . .)

If accountability helps, you can definitely have that here. I check the forum…[Read more]

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

Gayle, I’m definitely inspired by your accomplishment and can’t wait to get there!

Smaro, you have been perfect, too! You’re doing great and are a wonderful accountability partner!

In some ways, for the long run, it may be healthier to be able to flex, make mistakes, and quickly recover rather than to…[Read more]
