Hi everyone!

I’ve had lunch. I made a last minute swap that possibly worked out ok.

First I had five bites of green peas, then two bites of a Finnish rice pirog, this time without the egg-butter. Then I had five bites of brioche with lingonberry jam, and lastly the swap: slightly more than three-and-a-half bites of chocolate truffle. I enjoyed…[Read more]

ps. I did a taste test comparing the protein powders in water vs in milk, and I found that I prefer the water to the milk. So that’s the plan for now, powder in water instead of in milk. I wanted to test this as I was feeling a bit concerned with the carbons from sugar in the milk. For now, that’s that. I’ll have the milk with granola instead.…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had my breakfast now. It was enjoyable!

Before the 15 bites my weight was 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

After the 15 bites my weight was 53.2 kg / 117.3 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

After the protein drink my weight was 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I see the beginning of another nice oval shape for the dots today, following the…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

It’s a new day here, and it’s Mother’s Day in Finland. Lots of cake will be eaten in Finland today!

My plan with adjusting my bites to my morning weight is going good so far. I almost believe that I’ve found something that works for me. It’s a little bit too early to tell. So far so good.

This morning my weight was 53.1 kg /…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’m looking at the dots in groups of individual days now, looking at what shapes the dots form.

I like the rounder shapes. I don’t like the taller, thinner shapes.

Playing with the dots like this helps me become aware of the consequences of my over-eating. I appreciate the days that I didn’t over-eat. I want more of the round shape…[Read more]

Thank you Samantha!

I feel a bit more hopeful now about growing into a mature five-bite-dieter.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I experienced an improved impulse control episode today. I’m very pleased and thankful for it.

I had made plans with a friend to go shopping. Before heading out I felt a low sensation of wanting to eat something. I also felt that I wanted to show my friend that I am not denying myself.

She was buying what she wanted for the…[Read more]

Here are the dots again in a wider overview.

Hi everyone!

I found a picture of a “hard-landing” swan. It reminds me of the path from weight-loss to maintenance, for some of us (me). Onwards!

Thank you Samantha!

Here is an update of the dots.

Onwards!

I have the ugly duckling as my profile picture now. Waiting to become a swan!

Onwards!

Thank you Samantha!

I’ve enjoyed a ten bite lunch: five bites of green peas, and five bites of a croissant with nutella.

Onwards today!

Hello Letileti!

You look stunning!

Coming to think about food noice, have you looked into the works of Dr Ted Naiman, regarding satiety? The general idea is more lean protein and low carb veggies, and less carbs and fat overall, to increase satiety. Of course, if you do alot of exercise like swimming, you’ll also want more of the energy p…[Read more]

My weight this morning was 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

For breakfast I’m having five bites of peas and five bites of a croissant with nutella.

Thank you Samantha!

Here are the dots. They’re coming along!

Excellent!

I love that we can disregard the hick-ups and get back on track!

Excellent idea!

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had five bites of green peas for lunch. Lovely!

Onwards!

Thank you Samantha!

It’s lovely to be more measured. Being measured is what I want for myself in life. Balance.

My tummy is also smaller today than it was yesterday. The waist band is not too tight.

I’ve been thinking through ways to guide myself next time I’m at my ideal weight. When I was at my ideal weight earlier and had 30-35 bites or more…[Read more]
