Hi everyone!

It’s past 7:30 pm here now.

Today didn’t go swimmingly. I was tired before my first work session. It was windy and cold outside when I was at work, and I had my spring jacket, it wasn’t warm enough for comfort. I had several extra bites at work to feel a bit warmer. Then I had more bites at home before my second work…[Read more]

Good job Jennifer!

Onwards!

Hi again everyone!

It’s astonishing how much better I feel on a day of the five bite diet compared to a day of guessing how much to eat. Eating is enjoyable, and five bite dieting is also enjoyable.

I’ll see if I can remember this. I still don’t know where the middle is between the two sides.

Overeating is not enjoyable.

I want to find what…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s morning here now.

My weight was over my ideal this morning: 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

It’s a five bite day!

Onwards!

My pleasure!

I wonder if the new habit of eating less is more of a “responsibility” and not really a new habit. I mean, eating more is always a good option in case of famine, so the body will never forget about that, to protect us from starving to death. Now that we are learning new skills, it’s like we have two systems running, instead of one.…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s one hour before midnight.

It looks like tomorrow will be a five bite day. The latest dot is 54.2 kg / 119.5 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I think my lunch was too big. I should have stopped after one bowl of soup. Instead I had two.

I went a bit overboard with the “zero” beverages: one or two wasn’t enough. I had three.

My dinner became…[Read more]

…oops, I think that you meant Jennifer, and not Jane, with the letter J? Apologies.

Hi Alaska Gal, it’s all for you! I mean your posts. You don’t need to motivate anyone else but you. Perhaps you have seen my posts and noticed how they are all about me me me? I think that’s what’s so helpful about posting. It’s your monologue and you’re putting it out there.

Big hug!

Keep going Sharlet!

We are learning a lot about ourselves and about the different inner wants when we go on the five bite diet- a bit like our night and day version of ourselves: the night version doesn’t care about the morning version having to get up early and get to work. The happy eater version of us doesn’t care about the diet version of…[Read more]

Good for you getting back on track!

I know the feeling. It’s a relief once you get back on track.

Hi everyone!

I’ve had lunch now. I made soup.

Before lunch: 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

After lunch: 53.8 kg / 118.6 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

The dots look very polite to me. The three lines are breakfast, a “zero” citrus beverage, and lunch.

Now I’ll wait for a while before I have another “zero” citrus beverage.

I’ll consult the scale later and…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s morning here now.

I got to my ideal weight this morning. Actually, I got to under my ideal weight.

My morning weight before using the bathroom was 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Now I’ve had breakfast. I made an omelette.

Before breakfast: 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.4 bmi.

After breakfast: 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Hi everyone!

I’ve had my eighth meal, the last meal for today.

Before meal eight: 53.4 kg / 117.7 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

After meal eight: 53.8 kg / 118.6 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

Onwards!

Keep going! The scale can do this from time to time.

Hello everyone!

I was called in to work. Now I’m back and I’ve had my seventh meal.

At work I had a glass of 7-up zero, which bumped up my before meal weight a little bit.

Before seventh meal: 53.6 kg / 118.2 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

After seventh meal: 53.7 kg / 118.4 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been out and about, and now I’m back home again.

I’ve had my sixth meal.

Before sixth meal: 53.0 kg / 116.8 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

After sixth meal: 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I felt sleepy and took a nap. When I woke up I remembered that I was out late night and early morning gardening. Now the tiredness earlier and the nap makes sense to me.

Now I’ve had my fifth meal.

Before fifth meal: 52.9 kg / 116.6 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

After fifth meal: 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had my fourth meal.

Before fourth meal: 53.1 kg / 117 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

After fourth meal: 53.4 kg / 117.7 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Now I have more energy to get things done. It seems like it was a good idea to add more energy to my meals.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I felt tired and have increased the ice-cream bar dose from 1/4 to 1/2 per meal. For this third meal I added on the two 1/4 bites to also adjust my first and second meals. 1/2 of a small ice-cream bar per meal for today it is! I don’t want to lose weight too quickly. Now my weightloss is about 1 kg / 2.2 lbs per day.

Before third…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve been to the allotment. It was raining a bit, and the mosquitoes were elsewhere.

I’ve had my second bite. The same as my first bite: a protein drink and 1/4 of a small ice-cream bar.

Before bite 2: 52.9 kg / 116.6 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

After bite 2: 53.2 kg / 117.3 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Onwards!
