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.

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]

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!

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]

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 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!!!

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.

It wasn’t worth it, it didn’t taste amazing, it wasn’t a celebration…just a mistake.

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.

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 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.
