I like those diet thoughts as well!

Right, guy!  Every fall that you take is a learning experience.  In its own small way, it’s going to help you get to the finish line and stay there eventually.  Just keep getting back up and look forward to your next meal so that you can have just 5 bites.

YES!!!   When you focus on the flavor, it is much easier to eat just 5 bites.  REALLY analyze the flavor of each and every bite you take.  It will help to put the value of the 6th bite–a flavor that you have already collected–in it’s place: at the bottom of the trashcan.

Great!  Let’s all cheat our way to the finish line!!!

Indeed!  Great job!!

Right.  It’s all about being willing to delay gratification.  But delaying that immediate (and forgettable) gratification of eating begins with recognizing that the temptation to eat is 1. just a very strong temptation, 2. a very temporary compulsion, and 3. the rewards of giving in to your desires to eat don’t even come close to the rewards of b…[Read more]

Right.  Keep it simple.  1 bar, twice a day, and unlimited coffee and water.  Clean, simple, POWERFUL!!!

Yes.  The other side of resisting a hunger surge is the “skinny high”–that rush of energy and fullness you get from using up more of your inflammatory reserves.

Right!!!   We look forward to eating just 5 bites today for how much thinner we are going to be tomorrow morning!!

Please don’t forget:  It feels so much better to be on the diet and doing it perfectly than eating “normally.”  It’s just simply better in every way:  The food tastes better, the memory of the food is sharper and cleaner, the lingering hunger after eating 5 bites actually feels GOOD, you have more energy–simply better in every way.

But I don’t like the frappuccino’s: just black coffee, or iced black coffee–no milk or other carbon substitute!

Indeed.  The change is dramatic.  Just imagine what you will look like at the finish line.  (OMG!!!!)

That’s sooo cool!!  I love hearing that!!  Honestly, don’t you feel so much happier, inspired, excited than any amount of food could have made you feel?

Brilliant!!

Wow!  What a spectacular experience!  How many people can say that they’ve been to a Mexican restaurant and only ate 1 chip!!!!    Fantastic!!

Number 3 on that list is KEY:  We all LOVE being on 5 bites.  There is something so freeing about eating exactly 5 bites of food and then voluntarily stopping right there.  So empowering.  So freeing.  So AWESOME!!!!

Indeed!  Great job!!!

Impressive, Michelle!  Keep up the mindset and the great work!!!
