Thanks Dr. L. I am really bummed that I messed up. But I will not let it derail me from my goals. Time to pick myself up and keep moving forward.

Had a tough week after Thanksgiving. I was too scared to get on to the scale until today. Luckily I must have undone the damage done, because my weigh came in right at what it was before TG. Back on bars only for the rest of the year, until Christmas! Have to hit as close as possible to goal by 12/31. I made a promise to myself, and I intend…[Read more]

TOM arrived yesterday…and the weight is dropping again. 7.5 pounds in one week…not too bad. I really want to beat that this week, but I know it will be tough with TG day coming up. Perfect days only for the rest of this week!

Thanks Dr. Lewis! Each day is just a little bit easier than the last. However today, I am not hungry, but I find myself craving food other than the snickers bar. I may mix it up and try a different meal/candy bar to see if that makes the cravings stop.

Weight loss slowed a little today. Hoping it picks back up tomorrow! Need perfect…[Read more]

Not a perfect day yesterday. Almost made it through without extra bites. But I caved, and took 2 extra bites of a bar yesterday. So 12 bites total.

Today is a new day, and it will be perfect. I did not wake up hungry like yesterday, so I think that is a good sign. I want to be at 153 by Thanksgiving if possible. So only perfect days from…[Read more]

I forgot to get my weight today. I will check tomorrow. Had my 5BD lunch and dinner yesterday – snickers only.

Today I woke up so hungry though, and light headed! :S
I ate my 5BD snickers lunch around 10am. Need to get through this day with only one more snickers. I can do this!!!

Thanks! Yesterday went well. Aiming for another perfect day.

Ready to get this weight off! I want to be skinny, more than my interest in food. Happy to be back on 5BD after a few months away. I thought I could get the weight off following some different diet plans. Obviously that didn’t work. LOL

Ate bars only today, and feeling great! Aiming for a perfect week.

Two days of bars only again, and back to where I was before “Baked Bean Scandal” hit.
Feeling lighter and happy. Tonight I plan to read the book again

Weight = 158

I did not stick to bars only yesterday. Not even sure why I ate off plan, thinking back on it. Had my lunch bar…but around dinner time I ate a bowl of baked beans. It wasn’t worth it, it didn’t taste amazing, it wasn’t a celebration…just a mistake.

The scale shows an increase this morning, so that is highly disappointing. What I ate was…[Read more]

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]

Day 3 bars only – success!
Weight = 158

New challenge- bars only. Let’s do this! 2 weeks minimum.

Indulgent! And fun!

Thanks! Looking forward to it.

Thank you! Just finished 5 bites of meatballs from my favorite Italian restaurant. And threw the rest out! My friend was bewildered. Didn’t understand why I didn’t want to bring the rest home. LOL

I just told him that I don’t care for the taste of reheated leftovers.

Lunch – 2 bites smoked salmon, 3 bites of poached egg
Dinner – 5 bites deli turkey

Did pretty well today. Not perfect, but close.
Lunch – 3 bites of hard boiled egg, 2 bites of snickers
Dinner – 5 bites veggie tamale
Off plan – 2-3 bites of popcorn, 2 sips of wine

I had company over, and was feeling anxious. So I indulged in a handful of popcorn, and a couple sips of wine (threw the rest out). Not going to beat myself up…[Read more]

I made this motivational paper chain yesterday. I was bored, and feeling hungry, and needed to keep the hands busy. :silly:

Each slip of paper has a motivational message or a “Why weight around” quote from Dr. Lewis, and are numbered Day 1-60 for my planned 5BD journey.

Every day of the 5BD I will remove the next daily message from the chain,…[Read more]
