Like that! :lol:

Everyone will find their own sweet spot. In the book I recommend weighing just once a week–I think it ensures that you are truly committed to the program and aren’t using the scale to cheat and see how much extra food you can get away with. But everyone has their own comfort level. Seeing the weight go down a pound or two every day is quite…[Read more]

Probably.

The thing is, there is ALWAYS another reason to eat too much. Another holiday, birthday, family reunion, etc. A few a week. And you won’t remember the extra bites you eat on the Fourth a few days later, so DON”T.

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:

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!
