Hi Allison!

I’m inspired!

I still picture you with the pizza slice, taking one bite of the best part of it, which I imagine to be the tip of the slice, right from the middle of the pizza, and then that’s that, leaving the rest of the slice alone.

I will do this someday soon. I will buy a 2 euro slice of pizza from the nearby pizzeria, and I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Breakfast has now arrived and departed. It was a three minute meal.

I intended to leave a corner of a slice of bread, and when I noticed that I liked how I felt when I left one corner, I left two more corners.

After my meal I tilted my plate over the compost paper bag, said “here you go” to the compost, added “enjoy” and “bon…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here now.

My belly skin is again looking like it’s the skin on a puppy, skin has many small rolls, which tells me that I’ve lost weight, and / or, my belly isn’t as stuffed any longer because I have eaten less.

Indeed, my weight after using the bathroom this morning was 52.3 kg / 115.3 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Technically…[Read more]

Good job!

Hi everyone!

I’m trying out different thoughts to convince me to want to push food away from now on.

-Pushing some of the food on my plate away is something that I’m learning to do with ease.

-I’m moving some of the food on my plate to the compost bin so that the atoms in the food can play a part in that circle of life.

-I’m sending some of…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis!

Ok! I will begin practicing my push-food-away muscles!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had a moderate lunch, and it was easily done.

I’m staying in my food volume lane.

Lunch was 25 bites of this and that, similar to breakfast.

I ate it all in three minutes, without pushing any of it away.

At the moment I’m unwilling not to eat everything that’s on my plate.

Before lunch my weight was 53.4 kg / 117.7 lbs /…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had a moderate breakfast of 25 bites (250 g).

(That’s moderate to me, compared to my over-eating meals).

My pre-breakfast weight was 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

My post-breakfast weight was 53.6 kg / 118.2 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I had 8b bread, 12b pancakes, 2b mac&cheese, 2b jam, 1/2b cottage cheese, and 1/2b of…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight had dropped a little bit: 53.2 kg / 117.3 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

I’ll stick to my last meal volume for breakfast and lunch today and see if I can find a baseline.

My mistake yesterday was that I basically had two meals and then some for my breakfast meal.

Course correction took place at lunch luckily, and now I’ll…[Read more]

Snickers!

Hi everyone!

I had a smaller lunch compared to breakfast, and I feel better for it. I feel calmer and happier.

I had 1 bite of green peas, 10 bites of chicken, 10 bites of cottage cheese, a smaller slice (3 bites) of bread, and 1 bite of a chocolate bar. All in all 25 bites. Nowadays my bite is around 10 ml / 2 teaspoons.

I was curious to know…[Read more]

ps. I toasted a slice of bread and ate it plain after my breakfast. I don’t want to avoid bread. My weight remained the same afterwards. I’ll have a slice of bread with my lunch, too. Aiming for moderation.

Thank you Allison! Hi everyone!

I’m doing better today than yesterday, so far. I’ve had a measured and protein rich breakfast of green peas, cottage cheese, and chicken breast, along with a half of a chocolate bar.

That’s pretty good for being me at this point in time. I’m not hungry at all now. I’ll have the same for lunch.

This morning my we…[Read more]

Wohoo for you!

I’m doing better today than yesterday so far.

Indeed, Allison!

Especially when we’re in a stressful situation.

I’ve come up with another idea to test tomorrow:

I’ll experiment again with regular food, and avoid the more alluring food choices.

Bread seems to be too challenging for me at the moment, for example.

I’ll make a small meal of green peas, cottage cheese, and chicken.

Sort of a…[Read more]

ps. Would it be better to gradually add in more chocolate to find my maintenance volume, by checking my weight like I do now, and then when I know what my “final” volume is, to shift over to food gradually?

Hi!

Good job coming back!

Hi Allison and Alska Gal, and Dr Lewis, and all!

Thank you for the the video chat recording.

The discussion on feeling uncomfortable after eating too much (even if it’s a small volume) hit home with me today.

I most definitly have a similar sensation tonight: bloated, stuffed, and regretting my choices from earlier today.

And that’s on no…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s nine hours after lunch, and my tummy is still feeling stuffed.

I definitly ate too much today.
I will remember this feeling.
Tomorrow I’ll take a break from food, and have a snickers bar for my breakfast and lunch instead.
No food in the fridge is worth feeling stuffed for.
I’d rather let the food go bad and toss it.

I wan…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
