Hi everyone!

It’s the first day of my second week of maintaining.

Today I brushed my teeth and then I prepared my lunch so that it was ready in the air-fryer. Then I had a read, and five minues before lunch I turned on the air-fryer. It was a success!

For lunch today I had three courses: a Norwegian potato dumpling “klompe” with butter,…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here.

My morning weight before using the restroom was 48.7 kg / 107.4 lbs / 16.3 bmi.

Again a drop, and with this, I’m again increasing my meal volume today.

Slowly and steadily increasing my meal volume day by day, and I’m not experiencing ravenous hunger.

I’m looking forward to my slightly bigger lunch and…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow! I feel confident that I can handle myself well with food.

It’s almost midnight and I’m making Norwegian “klompe” potato dumplings for tomorrow.

All the best until next time.

Hi there everyone!

More of the same: brushing teeth, preparing my dinner, didn’t have time to read, and then had my dinner.

It was a peaceful and enjoyable meal, in the same style as lunch, a three minute meal.

I feel full and happy.

All the best until next time.

Hi everyone!

Same same: I brushed my teeth, had a read of a new book, and enjoyed my lunch.

Lunch was a lovely and calm experience, little bits and bobs.

I had a chocolate covered pistachio nut, two teaspoons of cream poured over a mix of cookie crumbles, two potato chips made into a sandwich with peanut butter and nutella, a small piece of a…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is another update.

Yesterday I felt finished with watching the videos that I have been fascinated by for a few weeks, with people who eat a lot of food, travel the world to visit different restaurants and resorts with all you can eat buffets, et c.

It was so strange to me to see the massive amounts of food, so many different…[Read more]

Streamlined weight curve:

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day. I’ve had an unusually good and long sleep this night, compared to yesterday when I woke up very early. To my delight I’ve found an error from my weight log yesterday, where my weight had dropped more than expected: that was my after-restroom weight. This explains the abnormality, and makes more sense to me.

Here is…[Read more]

Bellissima!

Thank you Letileit! Indeed, my weight has reduced bit by bit!

Sto bene grazie, bellissima Letileti!

Letileti, it’s so lovely to see you writing here now!

I’m happy that you are doing well.

I’m now coming into maintenance. It’s enjoyable!

I’m a little bit scared still, and growing more courage by the day.

Thank you for your sweet greeting.

Hi everyone!

Evening thoughts:

I was thinking about how best to add food back in, and then I remembered:

I can eat what I want, food or cake doesn’t matter, as long as I stay within my food volume limit.

So that’s the end of worrying about what would be the best idea.

I’m wishing everyone all the best until next time.

Hi everyone!

Dinner time arrived again, and with that, more of the same: brushing my teeth, reading the last pages of the book, and having my meal. It was a good meal, lots of little bits and pieces. I feel full and happy.

Wishing everyone all the best until next time.

Hi everyone!

Same same: I brushed my teeth, read about a few of the studies referred to in the book, and had my lunch.

For lunch I had a lovely mix of sweet and salty snacks. It looked like a small meal, and even so, now I’m feeling full. My stomach is noticing the increase, as small as it is. Increasing my meal volume slowly and steadily seems…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s new day, day 6 of going from weight loss into maintenance.

My weight has dropped again this morning: 49.0 kg / 108 lbs / 16.4 bmi

This means that I will increase my meal volume today. I’m looking forward to lunch and dinner! I have peanut butter and nutella waiting on my kitchen countertop, along with cake, cookies, potato…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Today before dinner I brushed my teeth and read about a few of the studies in the book.

At dinner time, I could again feel that the meal volume is at the new level. I’m glad that I’m sticking to my plan, and get to experience the steadiness of taking step by step into maintenance. It feels doable this time.

I’m looking forward to…[Read more]

Thank you Allison!

It’s good to write monologues, and better to write in dialogue.

And thank you for sharing your experiences in the latest chat video!

I’m so looking forward to what’s about to happen when you jump in with both feet!

About the old experiences that you remember, how things went wrong after your dieting in the past, I would say…[Read more]

For the curious:

In my sprint to the finish line I had 1 teaspoon of chocolate per meal. It was a two day sprint, on March 27th and March 28th. This was the third time around of my sprinting to the finish line, and hopefully the last. It took me a month to get from my first attempt to my third, from February 27th to March 28th. All in all with…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is another update monologue.

Before lunch I brushed my teeth and read a couple of the research summaries.

Then I had lunch:

six teaspoons of chocolate mixed with chopped salted peanuts, peanut snacks, and cookie crumbles.

It felt like quite a big meal to me.

I enjoyed the mix of salty and sweet, and the crunchy with the…[Read more]
