Jane Tanner

Hi there everyone! And a special hi to you, Adenike! Keep at it.

After work update:

I didn’t say anything of what I had planned to say, and ate half of a small pizza. I could feel  in about 1 second that there was no way for me to do what I do privately (diet) and so I though I’d just go with the flow, pretend that this was a special occasion,…[Read more]

Thank you Kylie! I will write an update after work.

It’s going to be dinner time when we get to the place. I don’t do dinners yet, and I avoid eating in the evenings for now, as my control is not that great later in the day yet. Most of my slip-ups have taken place in the afternoons and evenings. My focus is the best in the morning and at noon,…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Later today I have a small day trip with work, a similar situation to what happened in late January when I gave in after many prompts and had food (lots of it) when food was offered. Today is my opportunity to put my mind right. I’m thinking of what to think, what to say, and what to do. My thoughts right now go something like…[Read more]

You’re doing so well Kylie!

It’s good to sit down when feeling weak. It can feel quite dramatic, right?

Sometimes I’ve had a pinch of salt to help me perk up.

Keep on getting rid of those pesky fat cells!

Hello again everyone!

For my first 3B today I had air-fryer toasted shrimp and egg sandwich sprinkled with a little finely chopped roasted and salted peanuts, a dollop of red relish, and a few drops of soy sauce. I ate it all in one big bite, no manners. It was delicious and satisfying. I’m happy!

All the best until next time.

Coucou Letileti!

How is it going with you?

I’ve enjoyed reading all of your texts.

Lovely!

I’m telling myself this. It helps!

I saw a few pictures in your previous posts, your bites look positively amazing!

Hang in there Kylie!

The fat cells are throwing a tantrum, and you’re fine!

They don’t like it, and you do!

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight was 51.5 kg / 113.5 lbs / 17.2 bmi.

That’s the right way I feel! Slowly and steady. I’ll have another 3B3B day today, and I’m using my 1 tablespoon (15 ml) measure = 3B, to remind me of the importance of staying within the limitations of the 3B today.

In a sense, I’m cheating using the measuring spoons. I…[Read more]

Hi Kylie!

It’s good to have you in the future already, checking out what’s happening.

Thank you for writing and for sharing how it’s going for you.

I’ve read that the more times we start with the 5BD, the easier it gets.

It seems to be that this is true. 1.9 kg is a wonderful loss!

What route are you on for the bites? I mean food or…[Read more]

Hi Kylie in Oz!

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m wondering and wondering what will happen here in maintenance.

I would like to feel a bit more wiggle-room soon.

Patience is a virtue and all we do is wait and breathe and leave the food alone.

How did you do today Kylie?

All the best to you.

Hi everyone!

For my second three bites today I had three smaller than typical bites of grilled cheese, and then I added the last bite of a shrimp and egg sandwich, making for a little bigger volume meal than I had planned. How easily that happens… Tomorrow I will pay attention and stay focused from start to finish around my two meals.

I have a…[Read more]

Yay for feeling good on a 5 bites day!

Hi again!

I feel a new sense of relief now in experiencing, knowing, and trusting that I can use the 5BD to control my body weight. It seems strange that I would still have doubts. I should have known and trusted this now that I’ve been on the 5BD for a while and now navigating maintenance. Some thoughts take longer time to sink in for me. I feel…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight has dropped by 0.6 kg / 1.2 lbs, from the sudden over-eating weight:

51.6 kg / 113.8 lbs / 17.2 bmi

I’ll do another 3B day today.

It’s not that I’m against weight gain. It’s that I’d rather it come slowly and steadily by me increasing my daily meals bite by bite, and not from one or two days of mad o…[Read more]

Hi Kylie!

Good to see yet another fellow 5-biter.

Hi everyone!

For my second meal I had a 3B piece of a sandwich straight from the freezer without thawing it or putting it in the air-fryer for a minute. It was a bit strange. I managed to stay focused for the rest of the day, even with cooking up a little snack for tomorrow. It’s a relaxing process with the 5B sometimes.

All the best until next…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’m still in maintenance. Instead of 6B like I thought was a good idea yesterday, I’m doing 3B today. I feel so good with smaller meals! Aiming for stability. Fewer bites = less apetite stimulation.

For my first meal I had 3 bites of a chocolate cereal bar. Very lovely!

All the best until next time!
