I was thinking the same thing today. I am noticing a pattern of hunger following social media or tv time.

The hunger pains will come, and they will go. For sure!

Today, I took some time to take care of me. I had the day off, so I indulged in a mani/pedi, did some shopping, and created an awesome motivational wall.

Lunch – 5 bites of veggie tamale
Dinner – 5 bites of veggie tamale

Dinner tonight – 1 bite of vegan hot dog, 3 bites of vegetarian baked beans, 1 bit of snickers.

Brewing some coffee now as my after meal treat.

I am full and satisfied. I do not have the urge to eat more. Yay!

I am going to come back and read this post periodically today and tomorrow when I am feeling hungry. Thank you for sharing, very inspirational. And congrats on the wight loss! 8.5 in 3 days is amazing!

It was fine for the last 2 hours. I find it uncomfortable now. Not horrible. But I am thinking of my next meal already.

Yes actually…still pretty hungry. Started bars yesterday. 1 for lunch, 1 for dinner. Just had my lunch bar for today. Been trying to find ways to distract myself during those hunger moments

Thank you! I did not do bars yesterday. But I did stay to plan. 1 bite of baked beans, 2 bites of garlic bread 1 bite of coleslaw. You are right…it was unremarkable. I do not feel like I was left out. Now…time to tackle the rest of this birthday week!

Love the new emotional mind set and plan. You will succeed and those anxiety attacks will dwindle. Are you going to try bars only for a while?

Yes! They are! Excited to tackle today after yesterday’s chat session. Dr Lewis had great advice about the 4th…it would be a funny story, to sit around eating a snickers bar while everyone is eating bbq this-and-that.

And maybe the best birthday present I could give myself this week (Thursday) is a day not centered around food. Need to think…[Read more]

Great job Corey!

Good ideas! And great job getting on that scale. I fell off plan yesterday and had to force myself to weigh in today as well. I will try to call into the chat too…would be great to meet you and the others. And to hear more about these strategies you come up with. I am going to try more yoga and meditation. And maybe brushing my teeth when I’m hungry.

I fell off plan yesterday. And the scale impact was noticeable. Super bummed. But back on the plan today. A little worried about the next few days, with the holiday and my birthday in the same week.

Breakfast- Coffee
Lunch – 5 bites Ravioli and coffee
Dinner- 5 bites Cheese/Crackers

Practiced yoga and meditation today when I started to get hungry. Seems like a good way to get through the weekend boredom eating/munchies.

Absolutely! And the scale was down a little more today. Not going out pays off…and now I have the proof. Just need to remember that the next few times I feel bad about declining an invitation.

I think this is what I love about the 5BD plan. Results of good choices are visible immediately, so it encourages you to keep going.

Today was tough. I had to turn down a few invites to go out with friends. I am just not ready to attend social events yet. Kept to the plan though! Looking at the scale tomorrow will help me feel better about saying no.

Breakfast- Coffee
Lunch – 5 bites Tofu/Mushroom stirfry and coffee
Dinner- 5 bites Black Bean Taquitos
Evening Coffee

Perfect Day yesterday with food. Slipped in the evening with alcohol.
Breakfast – Coffee
Lunch – Luna Bar and Coffee
Dinner – 3 bites of bread, 2 bites of tater tots
2 alcoholic drinks

Today:
Breakfast – Coffee
Lunch – Kind Bar and Coffee
Dinner – 5 Bites of Cheese/Crackers

I think I am going to pass on the friend/family outings until the…[Read more]

8lbs, that is so awesome! Keep it up!

So true! Perfection is where it is at. My mind is finally cleared of emotional garbage, and I know that I deserve perfection. I deserve skinny. I deserve fit and healthy. So I am out to get it. No excuses.

I took a peek at the scale this morning…there is already movement. Woohoo!
Super excited to weigh in officially on Monday morning!…[Read more]

Beautiful and inspiring! Can’t wait to get there as well.

Hi Geneva! I am new as well, and excited to start this journey. You can do it!
