I love that, Corey. Yes: when you finally start to pay attention to the small details that affect you the most, you start to pay attention to the small details in other aspects of life as well. Nice discovery! :laugh:

No no. It’s easy. Read the maintenance section of the book. If you have more questions, please ask away!

Have a blast! :lol:

What a great revelation, 5BiteGirl!–and midway through the crisis so that you were able to avert derailment. Congratulations! I am so impressed! :cheer:

It’s been about 40 minutes since your lunch bar. How is your hunger now?

Right.

GREAT! You are SO CLOSE, Letileti! I’m so excited for you. SO CLOSE! :cheer:

Yes! You mind is in a beautiful place. I LOVE that. Now it’s a game: how to play off each meal so you come away satisfied in 5 bites. And it’s not the size of bites that are so satisfying, but rather the flavor of the bites.

Great job, Design! And most importantly: are you hungry?

But, if just can’t stick to 5 bites during these festive times (I would argue that sticking to five bites makes the occasion even…[Read more]

Yes, it is hard, but you are SO CLOSE. Just one last lunge and you are there! :cheer:

Right, DesignDiva!

I LOVE THAT. One bite of Five different foods: Now THAT is a dinner! :woohoo:

Just think how AMAZING going out with your friends is going to be when you are at your spectacular goal! The wait is DEFINITELY worth it! :cheer:

I agree with Gayle, 5Bite. Even though you may not be that far down from where you started, you have gained SO much in experience and understanding. It’s all part of the process. You are consciously and unconsciously putting everything together: benefits of eating, benefits of being thin, the taste of food, the social expectation of eating,…[Read more]

It sounds like you are doing AMAZING, Letileti! Don’t change a thing until you are there! :cheer:

I think that is a good call, DesignDiva. Focus on the finish line. Get there fast. Then live a life that is fun, healthy, and spectacular! :laugh:
