Hi everyone!

I’ve had a 50 ml breakfast, which is five polite bites for me. I feel much better than I did after my “all I can eat” breakfast yesterday. I also had an egg white drink with hot water, which was lovely!

Isn’t it funny how one day I say that I enjoy bigger bites, and the next day I am back to smaller bites again? I think so.

Hi Allison!

Thank you for asking.

My guess is that I will track and watch the dots for a long while longer, until I trust myself and my eating.

I’m still figuring out how I want to eat. Today didn’t go that well with moderation. I ate a bit too much. You’ll see the dots in the picture below and know what happened.

Now in maintenance, there’s…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had breakfast, anything that I wanted. I didn’t count bites. I felt a new trust in food and in myself.

Now I’ll go about my day. I have work at noon.

My weight before breakfast was 52.8 kg / 116.4 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

My weight after breakfast was 53.9 kg / 118.8 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

Now my weight is 53.8 / 118.6 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here now.
This morning my weight (after using the bathroom) is back at my ideal weight of 52.5 kg / 115.7 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Now I’ll keep an eye on the dots even more closely to see how I need to adjust so that my weight doesn’t drop below by too much.

Choo-choo!

Onwards!

The train is on its way! Go to the train station to buy a ticket, wait for the train, and hop on!

I think it’s one of those railways that go round and round, with just the one train. We’ll find each other!

Onwards! 🙂

Hi again, fellow dot watchers!

What I want is perhaps not a rounded shape cluster of dots, like I believed earlier. Looking at the last four days of dot clusters, I see now that what I want is an individual cluster per day, without the cluster standing on top of the shoulders of the dot cluster of the previous day, in a chain of clusters.

Now I…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

One more week to calm and steady the dots, before my blood labs are drawn.

All I want for Christmas is steady and calm dots.

Onwards!

Hi Elisabeth!

When I read the title of your post I read that you were doubly charged to get going, and that you wanted help to succeed with re-newing yourself! That was a good title in my view.

Hi everyone!

The dots are shaping up.

Hi everyone!

I noticed yesterday that I was counting my bites while I was eating my toasted bread with ham and cheese. I also noticed that I was not trying to take smaller bites. I was allowing my bites to be as big as I wanted. It was enjoyable, and it was the first time that I counted my bites in real time, instead of artificially counting them…[Read more]

Hi Allison!

Thank you for sharing.

It’s indeed a big learning and unlearning opportunity to be on the five bite diet.

It’s a new and rainy spring day here now.

My weigth has dropped back to 52.8 kg / 116.4 lbs / 17.6 bmi. I feel happy about this.

I’m not hungry this morning. I’ve had a protein drink. I’ll have lunch later today and that will…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

The dots of today are comparatively spread out. I’ll have the dots more collected tomorrow.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve made an adjustment to my note book: meal 1 and meal 2, and below is the number of bites in a circle. I’ve got May 8th, 9th , 10th, and 11th so far.

Hi everyone!

I had my protein drink before lunch today, about one hour before lunch.

My lunch was interesting. I had my planned 20 bites: 5b green peas, 2b rice pirog with egg-butter, 5b of waffled ham and cheese sandwich, and 5b of milk and granola. Then I felt that I wanted more, and I decided to trust that feeling. I thought: if I gain weight…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

Here’s the early morning dot watch.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had the 20 b breakfast.

Before breakfast my weight was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

After breakfast my weight was also 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

After a protein drink my weight was 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

About half an hour after breakfast I noticed some complaints inside of me, and it was clear that I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new morning here now.

My weight this morning was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Following the scale, my weight is down from yesterday, and I will increase my bites to 20 today.

Yesterday my fat mass was estimated to 20.5 % and today it was estimated at 20.2 %.

Now I’ll negotiate a meal plan with myself and listen closely…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I found a picture of a swan landing, and now it’s my new profile picture. The landing looks to be a bit choppy. And now to the dots: they look alright tonight.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I have a method update: I’m taking notes of my weight, the date, and my bites per meal, into a bmi list in my notebook now.

I prefer using the bmi list as the baseline for when to change my number of bites up or down. I don’t know yet when to change, or by how much or how little. I’ll follow along closely and see where it goes.

I…[Read more]
