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]

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]

I’m doing better today than yesterday so far.

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]

Good job coming back!

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]

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]

Lunch arrived and disappeared.

I ate quite a bit at lunch, and even so, my weight is lower today than yesterday.

My weight before lunch today was 53.4 kg / 117.7 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

My weight after lunch today was 54.1 kg / 119.3 lbs / 18.1 bmi.

Now it’s six hours after lunch and my weight is 53.7 kg / 118.4 lbs  / 17.9 bmi.

I’ll…[Read more]

My weight had dropped again this morning to 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

That’s a bigger drop than I had anticipated.

I had a moderate breakfast of bread and mac&cheese as planned.

Then I wanted more to eat, and I ate more. Quite a lot more!

I had yoghurt and frosties, chocolate, a coconut cookie, and a second…[Read more]

I’ve had lunch, and that’s that for today.

I’ve got my notebook planned out for the next few days, which helps me focus.

Now all I have to do until tomorrow is nothing! Also known as waiting.

I have work in the afternoon which will help distract me from thinking about myself too much.

The grilled sandwich weighed 97 grams (104 g…[Read more]

Today I’m tackling two of my biggest over-eating-friendly foods:

bread, and mac&cheese!

I’ve had one such meal for breakfast just now.

I put two slices of bread with mac&cheese inbetween in the waffle maker, and that was breakfast.

I’ll have the same for lunch, and then fast until tomorrow morning.

I can practice portion…[Read more]

This morning my weight was down a little bit again.

Yesterday morning it was 55.6 kg / 122.6 lbs / 18.6 bmi

and this morning it was 54.8 kg / 120.8 / 18.3 bmi.

All the best until next time.

I’m waiting this out now.

I’ve had three reese’s cups for brunch.

A few too many, and it was the best I could do.

I’m enjoying the calm of being back at home.

All the best to us all until next time.

I ate much more today than recommended.
It’s ok – I know that with time and eating less my weight will sort itself out again.
All the best until next time!

This morning I’m at my goal weight: 52.5 kg / 116 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

I feel good!

Until next time, all the best!

I did it! I had an extra meal, followed by a long nap.

I’m at my goal weight now, 52.5 kg / 116 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

Of course, my newly added weight is made up of food, not my own body mass yet.

It was a different experience to be the one in charge of when and what to eat, intentionally eating without being spurred on by hunger. I…[Read more]

I’m having a strategic additional meal in preparation for my work day tomorrow. We’re going on a 13 h round trip. So that’s the revised plan. I’ll have more food while on the job tomorrow, too.

All the best until next time!

Lunch went better than breakfast.

My weight before lunch was 50.3 kg / 110.9 lbs / 16.8 bmi.

My weight after lunch was 50.5 kg / 111.3 lbs / 16.9 bmi.

All the best until next time!

It’s a new day here now.

This morning before using the restroom my weight was 49.9 kg / 110 lbs / 16.7 bmi.
Before breakfast it was 50.1 kg / 110.5 lbs / 16.7 bmi.
After breakfast it was 50.6 kg / 111.6 lbs / 16.9 bmi.

For breakfast I had porridge, followed by pasta arrabiata with cheese and ketchup.

It was a peculiar breakfast,…[Read more]

It’s 10 pm, and I’ve fasted since my extended lunch. I still feel comfortably full and not hungry.

My weight has dropped to 50.0 kg / 110.2 lbs / 16.7 bmi. I’m looking forward to seeing tomorrow morning what it will be. Usually it drops at least 0.1-0.2 kg overnight.

All the best until next time.

I’m calling it “an extended breakfast” and “an extended lunch” today.

I’m skipping dinner tonight.

Tomorrow I’ll have a normal breakfast and a normal lunch.

That’s the plan at the moment.

All the best until next time!

I ate some more food (third lunch) and now my weight is 50.5 kg / 111.3 lbs / 16.9 bmi.

No regrets so far.

All the best until next time.

It’s the Wild West here today.

After my lunch with extra dessert there was more pep in my step when I was out and about at work.

My colleague said that I looked better and that she had been worried about me when I looked so tired a few days ago. I told her that now I’m eating more again, every day eating a bit more and more, and…[Read more]

Lunch time has arrived and departed.

I had my lunch as planned, and I felt that my belly was pulsating and being very active during my meal. I didn’t feel shaky, it was a sensation just a little bit lower than a shaky feeling.

After my meal I added on a spontaneous and generous dessert. It was what I wanted. I allowed my mouth free…[Read more]

This morning my weight was up a little bit: 49.0 kg / 108 lbs / 16.4 bmi.

I feel good about this. I’m a bit under my maintenance weight and slowly gaining weight.

I’ve had a hot beverage for breakfast, a cup of miso broth with mascarpone.

It was a warming and rich breakfast.

All the best until next time.

Dinner time has arrived and departed. It all went swimmingly.

My tapas meal was enjoyable, and I enjoyed it!

This time I added a tbsp of coffee cream to the miso paste in a cup of hot water. I liked it.

One foot in front of the other.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Wishing everyone all the best until next time!

Lunch time has arrived and departed. I did my preparations: brushing teeth, preparing the food, and having a quick read before my meal.

A few moments before my meal I felt shaky and weak. The meal itself was good, and I feel full. I also feel tired and weak. That’s something I remember from earlier on during the weight loss stage. I…[Read more]

I was pondering the food I have in my fridge, thinking I “should” eat it according to the expiration dates.

I looked through my fridge and took note of the expiration dates.

To my delight, the “fresh noodles” had gotten moldy. I tossed them in the compost bag, and noticed that I felt glad that there was one less item to…[Read more]

It’s a new morning here now, day ten of maintenance.

My weight this morning (before using the restroom) was 48.8 kg / 107.6 lbs / 16.3 bmi, a slight increase.

I’m feeling good and calm again.

It was most likely my GI that sparked the eating yesterday, in hindsight. After eating, I had two bm’s in the evening, after ten days of…[Read more]

Another dinner has arrived and departed. It was a similar meal to my lunch today, also a three minute meal, and it was delicious.

I have one regret – I wanted a bit more soup. It was gone in a few sips and spoonfuls. Tomorrow I’ll make myself more miso soup and see what will happen.

I feel content, satiated, and happy with this…[Read more]

Everything is going swimingly with food, no ravenous hunger, and I again feel full and satisfied after my meal.

Lunch was lovely. I prepared myself and my meal in my usual way.

Today I opted for a small glass of miso soup (100 ml) with my meal instead of the hot chocolate. No regrets so far. I also had injera sour pancake that I…[Read more]

This morning my weight was the same as yesterday: 48.7 kg / 107.4 lbs / 16.3 bmi. That’s better than weightloss at this point, I believe.

I don’t know what made the weight stay the same this morning. It could have been the added hot chocolate, or the re-introduction of cooked food, which compared to snacks has more water in it, or…[Read more]

I’ve had dinner: first brushing teeth, then preparing dinner and having a read before having my meal.

Dinner took 2 minutes and the cup of hot chocolate was inhaled in the following minute.

All of it was good! A similar meal to what I had for lunch. One regret: I should have warmed up the cake, that would have been better. Next…[Read more]

I’m adding in a small glass of hot chocolate today after lunch and after dinner:

2 tbsp of cream, 1 teaspoon of cacao, 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, and hot water.

Let’s see if this will slow down my weightloss.

All the best until next time.

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]

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]

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.

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.

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]

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]

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]
