I had a sudden feeling of tiredness in te early afternoon, and I considered taking a nap. The feeling disappeared after a few seconds, just like it had done last time, which was then followed by eating more. This time I also didn’t take a nap. Instead, I had more to eat.

I decided to try to observe as much as possible what was going…[Read more]

I feel how brave you are. It’s inspiring!

It’s another day here.

My weight this morning was 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

I’ll aim to eat about the same amount of food today as I did yesterday, so that I don’t end up with regrets tomorrow.

Onwards!

How lovely for me to read what you wrote! A bit of a relief to me as I was beginning to think that I had overstepped in bringing up this topic.

I would be interested to know more about satiety, food choices, and activity levels from the perspective of Dr Lewis. I’ve read in Why Weight Around? to have at least one bite of meat, egg,…[Read more]

It’s 10:30 pm here now. I feel good and calm.

I’ve had a little bit more to eat than yesterday.

The latest dot is 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Onwards!

Onwards!

It’s a new day here now.

I’m at my goal weight this morning. Actually, I arrived half an hour after midnight.

I’ve had vanilla doughnut, sweets, and a glass of egg whites for breakfast.

I feel calm today. I think that tomorrow might be the day, or perhaps the day after tomorrow might be the day when I have a soft landing on Lake Maintenance.

Now after 10 pm my weight is 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

I think it’ll be a smooth transition into maintenance this time, I can feel it. I feel an absence of…[Read more]

It’s a new day here, and it’s a five bite day for me.

My weight this morning was 53.6 kg / 118.2 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

I had five more bites yesterday evening than planned. Not perfect, and an improvement from the day before.

I was very happy with my five bites this morning. I had a bite of a vanilla cream doughnut, two bites of a…[Read more]

My goal bmi is 17.5 for now. I still have a soft layer of subcutaneous fat here and there. The skin is tightening little by little.

Once I stabilize (will I ever?) I’ll follow what my skin looks and feels like, and what the one inch pinch test says to me.

The best feeling is to not be overloaded with food and beverage to…[Read more]

I’ve had my first five bite meal.

Before meal: 54.2 kg / 119.5 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

After meal: 54.4 kg / 119.9 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

Onwards!

It really feels like something we’re along the ride for.

I’ll have smaller bites today and see if that helps calm things down a bit.

It’s kind of fun to learn how to listen to and talk to the body this way.

My morning weight was 54.1 kg / 119.3 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I should have written “let’s see how many meals in a row I can stay focused” instead “how many days in a row” and the answer this time was two meals in a row.

I noticed I was thinking about food earlier today, and I had my dinner earlier. In the evening I decided to take a bath to distract myself. I also did fairly well when I…[Read more]

During the “food storm” I was having a lot of “zero” beverages, and eating a lot of veggies, so there’s that to take into consideration.

Veggies are like a gateway to overeating for me, it seems at the moment. I’ll figure out a way to have veggies and not go bananas, and for now I’m leaving them alone.

At the moment, for my five…[Read more]

It’s a new day here now.

My weight has dropped to 53.6 kg / 118.2 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

I’ve had my second five bites for today. I feel the calm. It’s very pleasant.

The difference between food calm and food chaos is big.

I wonder how many times it will take for me to get it?

Onwards!

Yesterday I ate and drank a lot, and today I’m on the five bite diet.

My weight this morning was 56.1 kg / 123.7 lbs / 18.5 bmi.

When I eat more I feel uncomfortable, and I want to eat and eat.

When I eat less I feel better, and I don’t want to eat more.

Why it is so difficult for me to remember that I feel better eating less, I…[Read more]

Indeed, onwards!

The morning dots are in. It looks like the food storm has passed.

Keep on keeping on!

It’s a new day here now.

This morning my weight was 54.7 kg / 120.6 lbs / 18.1 bmi.

I’m noticing a shift in my hunger and satiety. It’s clearer to me now when I’m hungry and when I’m full.

I’m experimenting with listening to my hunger and responding to it differently. I’m testing the hypothesis that protein is the most satiating…[Read more]

Here are the dots for June 3rd, 2026.

Onwards!

Thank you for asking me to clarify.

I’m aiming for a 17.5 bmi, which at my height (5’8 1/2″) is 52.9 – 53.1 kg / 116.6 – 117.0 lbs.

A short brush at my ideal weight means I only reach the goal weight for half a day or so, and then I gain weight day after day, until I go on the five bite diet, repeat, repeat.

I’d like my weight to…[Read more]

I’ve had my first meal, three hours delayed, thanks to taking a long and lovely nap and then going to the store to buy more eggs. I’m hanging on to the egg white drinks.

Here are the dots, a one month overview.

I don’t mind the waves, and I do mind the overall weight-gain trend.

It’s a new day here now.

My morning weight was 53.8 kg / 118.6 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

Today is a five bite diet day.

Onwards!

It’s twenty minutes before midnight here now.

My weight is 54.7 kg / 120.6 lbs / 18.1 bmi.

Today was smooth sailing. Loving it!

Four bites and lots of fluids, two meals 12 h apart.

Onwards!

Order is restored, temporarily.

It’s a five bite diet day here for me. No issues so far.

My morning weight was 54.2 kg / 1119.5 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. This was on the ugly end.

Now after having taken a nap, I feel better.

I feel less like a beached whale and more like myself.

Onwards!

My attempt at nipping it in the bud backfired. I ate a lot instead of a little.

I tried to do the five bite diet and it went wrong instantly. I couldn’t find a snickers bar and instead had a vanilla pudding. 2.5 hours later I felt very tired for a brief moment. I considered taking a nap or taking a bath. I didn’t do either. Instead…[Read more]

It’s a five bite day here today.

My first morning weight was 53.4 kg / 117.7 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

I’m nipping it in the bud!

Dinner today was also a little bit smaller than yesterday.

The red lines are my meals today, and the dotted red lines are my meals yesterday.

I might have had a little bit too much for dinner. We shall see tomorrow morning.

I had three “zero” beverages today instead of two.

Onwards!

I’ve had breakfast successfully.

My weight now is 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

I’ll have a “zero” beverage at noon and in the afternoon.

Other than that, I’m fasting until dinner. Meals 12 hours apart.

Onwards!

My weight was 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs this morning, right at the higher end of my bmi 17.5.

I’ll aim for a 900 g / 2.0 lbs weight gain after breakfast.

I forgot why I was weighing myself before dinner. It’s comical!

Before dinner my weight was 53.0 kg / 116.8 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

I didn’t remember to think about what I wanted to weigh after dinner.

I had the same meal as I had for breakfast, a 1.0 kg / 2.2 lbs meal.

So my weight after dinner was 54.0 kg / 119.0 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

You can change it!

Feel free to borrow my micro managing hat for a day or two.

How about pre-weighing your bites and your liquids for a few days?

Then you’ll be guaranteed the outcome you want.

It’s a bit of a cheat, of course. I cheated my way through weightloss in a similar way. I measured my bites with a measuring spoon. I couldn’t trust my bites.

If you do it for a while, you’ll get an idea of what you’re…[Read more]
