My mental prep wasn’t enough! Just after that, I proceeded to eat a normal-sized supper. :blush:

Lessons?

When I feel weak, I need to *leave* and take a time-out away from the food. Although I’m glad I tried to help myself by posting, I was still in the kitchen and didn’t spend long on my break. As soon as I turned back to my cooking, the…[Read more]

Way to go!! :cheer:

Yesterday: 160
Today: 155.5

Breakfast: 0 bites
Lunch: 5 bites

About to have supper and doing some mental prep . . .

I will stop at 5 bites. I can do this!! I will feel wonderful when I finish my meal with perfect control. So excited to be doing this!! :cheer:

Thank you so much, Shelly!

You’re asking a lot, Dr. Lewis! :blush: But, yes, I will update it. I’m basically just back at square one . . .

Today was great: 0 bites for breakfast, 0 bites for lunch, and 5 bites of burger for supper.

Tonight is difficult because I’m dealing with some stress. But those feelings will come and go whether I…[Read more]

You have done so well, Leti! Thank you for posting often. I am very inspired by what you write and by your “chat” conversations with Dr. Lewis. Congratulations on your weight loss!! :cheer:

Thank you for checking, Design Diva. It was not going well . . . :blush: I even let my membership expire for awhile.

But I’m back, ready to try again. I WILL do this!

Today will be my day 1, and it will be PERFECT.

I fully intend to lose 10 pounds this week!!

I will be posting for every meal for accountability and journaling here to stay…[Read more]

Great job, Corey!

LOVE your jeans strategy. That sounds very motivating!!

Yes, I can!!

I made it through the morning and my 5-bite lunch. But I did have a couple of moments when I came close to just giving up and eating, planning to “start again tomorrow.” Such dangerous thinking!! And it’s all because of the overeating I did yesterday. Once I have ruined my winning streak, my “monster” always tells me to keep…[Read more]

Welcome! So glad you’re joining us. And I’ll be excited to watch you reach your goal!! :cheer:

I love it!!!! :cheer:

Thank you, Gayle! I am going to try to be more aware of when that guilt feeling about my weight loss efforts sneak in. Because when I recognize it and examine it, I can see that it’s not justified. But for some reason, I hadn’t realized it was there before. And you are so right about our kids watching how we treat ourselves. I certainly want…[Read more]

Day 5- 147.5

Thank you so much, Dr. Lewis and DesignDiva!

Great job! And great attitude!!

Sounds like a perfect plan!! You will do great, and it will feel like a huge accomplishment to lose weight while on a trip! :cheer: (I hope you can still update here, too, so we can cheer you on!)

Thanks, Corey! Today is much easier so far. Hope yours is going well, too!

And thanks for your encouragement, Dr. Lewis!!

Day 4- 148.5

I’ve lost 8.5 pounds in 3 days- the 5-bite diet is pretty amazing!!

I stayed perfectly on track yesterday. But I did have some major hunger pangs on and off throughout the afternoon. I don’t know why they seem so unbearable to me. I reminded myself that I would power through a headache. And that I’ve given birth 4 times!…[Read more]

Day 3 of reset: 150.0

Thank you so much, DesignDiva, Gayle, and Letileti!

Yesterday went great, and I stayed on plan perfectly. We did end up going to the huge Fort Worth fireworks show. We stopped at Taco Bell on the way there, around 6:00. I had 5 bites of a taco and had no trouble throwing the rest away. Yay! And I didn’t feel tempted by…[Read more]

Congratulations, Gayle!! And thank you for sharing and inspiring the rest of us!!

Nice to meet you last night! Dr. Lewis was very motivating, wasn’t he?!

I’m amazed by how similar our stats are. We might finish our journey around the same time!

Hope you have a great 5-bite 4th of July!! :cheer:

Nice to meet you last night, Corey. You are doing GREAT!! :cheer:
