Hi Alaska Gal, and hi Jennifer!

I thought of another thing that helped me a lot: to read the book “Why Weight around?” for ten minutes, before having my five bites. Something about reading it helped me to get in the mood for five bites. Especially reading it out loud, it was effective.

Onwards!

Hi Alaska Gal! And hi everyone!

Sometimes it’s fruitless for me to fight against an eating wave. When I notice nibbling and then more nibbling, my best bet is to immediatly have a snickers bar or two, or some other similar chocolate bar or pieces of chocolate. That will take care of the hunger quickly. That’s better than it escalating into an…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

With my new hight I have a new ideal weight.

My new ideal range is 52.9 kg – 53.1 kg / 116.6 lbs – 117.0 lbs for a 17.5 bmi.

Right in the middle is 53.0 kg / 116.8 lbs.

Hi everyone!

I exceeded my five bites this evening. Not as badly as last time, luckily.

I will be more focused on the five bites tomorrow!

Lots of dots.

Hi everyone!

Dot watch is ongoing.

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here.

My morning weight was 55.0 kg / 121.3 lbs / 18.2 bmi.

If I had used my previous length of 173 cm, my bmi would have been 18.4.

Today is a five bite day!

Thank you Alaska Gal!

It was a positive experience.

The blood pressure cuff came undone during the first measuring, and the nurse said that I have thin arms.

Beautifully done Alaska Gal!

Hi everyone!

I’m thinking about something that Dr Lewis wrote, about how some people eat whatever they want, and then they use the five bite diet to reduce their weight back to their ideal. Not his exact phrasing. It’s beginning to sound like a good fit for myself. I’m willing to try this!

With this approach, I’ll have only one job to do: a…[Read more]

Hi Allison!

I have a question.

Did Sheila write here on the slimming station?

If so, under what pen name?

I’d like to find her posts.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

My health check-up went well.

I met with a specialist nurse, and not a doctor.

I’ll have a further appointment to adjust the dose of my synthetic hormone.

My blood pressure was 119/74.

My HbA1c was 26 mmol/mol (long term blood sugar).

My fP-Gluk was 4.7 mmol/l (fasted blood sugar).

My height has increased from 173 cm to 174 cm…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here, and a beautiful day at that.

I’m having a 5 bite day! I feel happy about this.

My morning weight was 56.1 kg / 123.7 lbs / 18.7 bmi.

I’m going to the health check-up now.

New dots for a new day.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

The hungry dots are here.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow and the snickers to calm everything down.

I ate even more, and then I brushed my teeth again. My belly looks big now.

I will take care of myself with the five bite diet and see if I can connect any dots.

Hi everyone!

I was wrong! There was more eating to come today. I ate as much as I could, to get through this wave of eating as soon as possible.

Now it’s the evening and I’ve brushed my teeth. Tomorrow I’m starting another little round of snicker’s bars. I’m looking forward to it!

Food is still tripping me up, unlike snicker’s bars. I’m really…[Read more]

Yes! Getting into the habit of posting no matter what, that’s a good first step.

Onwards!

Good job posting!

Hi Alaska Gal!

Congratulations on your successful day!

Thanks for asking about the slimming station chart.

When I wanted to update the chart I didn’t know how to. I was able to put in my current weight (from when I joined the slimming station on January 21st, 2026) and then when I put in my weight on week 1 it changed the starting weight. I…[Read more]

Thank you Alaska Gal!

It’s morning here now.

My weight after using the bathroom was 54.7 kg / 120.6 lbs / 18.3 bmi.

I feel calmer and gentle with myself today. I feel that the top of the eating wave has passed, and my guess is that I’ll eat less than I did yesterday. I’ll weigh in and add the dots to my collection for future…[Read more]

ps. The day after tomorrow I’m having a health check-up. I wonder if I’m allowing myself to gain some weight to prevent criticism of my weight, from the doctor? That would make sense to me. Now at an 18.5 bmi I’m in the normal range.

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now.

I decided to eat something even though my weight hadn’t dropped much.

Now my weight is 55.5 kg / 122.4 lbs / 18.5 bmi. It was very quickly and easily done.

I’ll think about what to do tomorrow. Perhaps a day or two of snicker’s is in order.

Onwards!
