Yes! This is FANTASTIC! You are more interested in getting thin than in the food itself. Wonderful. Trust me: when you are skinny, food will taste AMAZING! All of it!! :woohoo:

When you are feeling a little dizzy, you are TRULY using up excess reserves of fat, and your BP is dropping a little. This is GREAT! But please be patient: it will take a day or so for those symptoms to resolve. Great work! :cheer:

YES!, Letileti! You’ve got it. You’ve reset your hungerstat completely! BEAUTIFUL! THAT is what I’m trying to get everyone to experience. Once you’ve experienced what you feel now, you will NEVER have an issue with weight in your life ever again! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

AND … don’t you feel GREAT about the meal 30 minutes later? A hour later? Even the next day? Doesn’t the ENJOYMENT of eating perfectly last SO MUCH longer than the enjoyment of eating too much?

Hi! Yes–I saw it. You look great, and it doesn’t look like you have far to go, but it’s all about the fat around the stomach (which I couldn’t make out very well from the pictures). But keep pressing onward! :laugh:

It sounds like you are doing GREAT! I am so happy for you. But, I can’t view the images. :S

Great, Letileti! Keep practicing the 5BD. It will give you absolute control over your eating disorder. Experiment eating one bite of 5 different items of food. Then, twenty or thirty minutes later, recall the meal. You will still remember the flavors, but not how much or how little you ate. You will come to realize that the amount of each…[Read more]

Shelly,

Of course water weighs a lot. That’s why your weight can fluctuate so dramatically during the day. Roughly speaking, two glasses of water = 1 pound of weight. But water contains NO CARBON, so it’s irrelevant. Water comes, water goes. What’s important is that you keep everything else to a bare minimum, but EVERYTHING else contains carbon.

Have a great time. Don’t gamble too much, but I’d much rather you gamble with money than with your life. SO STICK TO THE PROGRAM!

right.

NO! You are not eating enough “healthy” stuff in just 5 bites to make a difference. NEVER eat for health. Similarly, never shy away from food because it is “bad.” (This may change a little once you cross the finish line, but we’ll wait until you are there before we discuss maintenance.)

If you would rather have 5 bites of crab than 5 bites of…[Read more]

Brilliant! I love it! Right! Keep the coffee (or tea) coming, but find a way to get by with just five bites for dinner–at most. You’ve got this!

BEAUTIFUL!!! YAY!!! That’s it, Shelly!!! :woohoo:

Ah … But unless you are having just one fish stick (maybe one and a half fish sticks), you need to throw most of it away. Fix it, taste it, and toss it. You MUST keep your hungerstat set at 5 irrespective of what the food is.

That’s it. Keep your eye on the prize. But beyond that, force yourself to be hungry more than your comfortable doing. You don’t need to eat less than 5 bites, but keep pushing the number down to five. It provides very short lived, but GLORIOUS, meals. Guess what? They’ll be another chance to do it again tonight, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow…[Read more]

Yep. That’s it. When you fall off, just jump right back on. As long as your hunger is controlled, who cares how many you eat. Just taste it, fill up, and toss the rest. Now THAT is living! :woohoo:

Exactly right, Pia! You are the messenger. Spread the word simply by setting a perfect example. You are truly exceptional! :cheer:

Right, and it won’t be. BUT, I LOVE food too–really LOVE it–but I don’t love the AMOUNT of it. I’ve learned to eat just the right amount of each item of food that I love without even thinking about it. So will you. First, though, let’s finish this race. Only a couple more steps to go!!! :woohoo:

Great! That’s it.
