ps. ps. I’m looking forward to reading all of your posts! Onwards!

ps. I agree with you, the spinning out can happen quickly! Before we know it we can gain a lot in one big snack attack. I can do it knowingly, too!

That’s the spirit!

One foot in front of the other!

Hi again everyone!

Here are the dots again, zoomed in on today. No big jumps, which I think is good.

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now.

I had a craving for something sweet immediatly after my last meal, and I reminded myself of the idea of the one hour break inbetween meals, and I waited it out. I felt tired, and then I rested, and after a while the craving had gone away. I brushed my teeth, and now all is well.

The cluster of dots looks…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

Now I’m back home again. I wanted my next meal and I had it. I enjoyed it! Now I’ll wait for an hour and see what’ll happen next. This idea of having a small when hungry feels very simple to me. I’m less worried about when my next meal will be. I’m less worried that I might eat too much. So far, I’ve done much better today than…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

So far I’ve had five meals. Now that an hour has passed since my last meal, I’m noticing that I’m not feeling hungry. That’s ok.

I’ll go to the bathroom now and then I’ll go to the allotment for a while. If I’d like to eat more later this afternoon or in the evening, I’ll follow the same idea.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

It’s the afternoon here now. I’m experimenting with spacing out my five bite meals.

I’ve had four meals so far. I feel good! Much better than the times that I’ve eaten too much at once.

If this should turn out to be a good idea for me, I’ll figure out how to prepare my meals ahead so that it’ll be easy to get other things done…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

Here is an overview of the puff clouds linking into wave patterns.

Next I want to see the pattern weave up and down over the middle line in smaller waves.

That’s what I want. Maybe I can get there before next Christmas.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had a 50 ml breakfast, which is five polite bites for me. I feel much better than I did after my “all I can eat” breakfast yesterday. I also had an egg white drink with hot water, which was lovely!

Isn’t it funny how one day I say that I enjoy bigger bites, and the next day I am back to smaller bites again? I think so.

My…[Read more]

Hi Allison!

Thank you for asking.

My guess is that I will track and watch the dots for a long while longer, until I trust myself and my eating.

I’m still figuring out how I want to eat. Today didn’t go that well with moderation. I ate a bit too much. You’ll see the dots in the picture below and know what happened.

Now in maintenance, there’s…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had breakfast, anything that I wanted. I didn’t count bites. I felt a new trust in food and in myself.

Now I’ll go about my day. I have work at noon.

My weight before breakfast was 52.8 kg / 116.4 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

My weight after breakfast was 53.9 kg / 118.8 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

Now my weight is 53.8 / 118.6 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here now.
This morning my weight (after using the bathroom) is back at my ideal weight of 52.5 kg / 115.7 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Now I’ll keep an eye on the dots even more closely to see how I need to adjust so that my weight doesn’t drop below by too much.

Choo-choo!

The train is on its way! Go to the train station to buy a ticket, wait for the train, and hop on!

I think it’s one of those railways that go round and round, with just the one train. We’ll find each other!

Onwards! 🙂

Hi again, fellow dot watchers!

What I want is perhaps not a rounded shape cluster of dots, like I believed earlier. Looking at the last four days of dot clusters, I see now that what I want is an individual cluster per day, without the cluster standing on top of the shoulders of the dot cluster of the previous day, in a chain of clusters.

Now I…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

One more week to calm and steady the dots, before my blood labs are drawn.

All I want for Christmas is steady and calm dots.

Onwards!

Hi Elisabeth!

When I read the title of your post I read that you were doubly charged to get going, and that you wanted help to succeed with re-newing yourself! That was a good title in my view.

Hi everyone!

The dots are shaping up.

Hi everyone!

I noticed yesterday that I was counting my bites while I was eating my toasted bread with ham and cheese. I also noticed that I was not trying to take smaller bites. I was allowing my bites to be as big as I wanted. It was enjoyable, and it was the first time that I counted my bites in real time, instead of artificially counting them…[Read more]

Hi Allison!

Thank you for sharing.

It’s indeed a big learning and unlearning opportunity to be on the five bite diet.

It’s a new and rainy spring day here now.

My weigth has dropped back to 52.8 kg / 116.4 lbs / 17.6 bmi. I feel happy about this.

I’m not hungry this morning. I’ve had a protein drink. I’ll have lunch later today and that will…[Read more]
