This morning I had the coffee with creamer again, and felt great. For lunch at 2:15 I had: 1 bite cheese and cracker, 1 bite cheese, 2 bites grape, 1 bite brownie. For dinner at 6:30 pm I had 3 bites bagel with cream cheese and 2 bites potato chip. Now cannot settle down to sleep. Excited for the weekend, and grocery shopping. Want Lean Cuisine…[Read more]

Jane, you are so kind and thoughtful. You deserve all the success in the world.

This morning I had the Aldi coffee again with creamer, and then I felt absolutely amazing! For lunch, I wanted some of my BBQ potato chips very badly. I ended up having Snickers, but was grouchy during the next 4 hours because I wanted the chips more. For dinner, I decided to have a little bit of bagel with cream cheese. I toasted one half and had…[Read more]

Today I had a hard time getting up, and stayed in bed a half hour more than usual. For breakfast, I had the can of Aldi coffee that was black. It tasted bad! I ended up putting creamer in it. Then,  I felt amazing, and the best focus and problem-solving ability at work. I felt happy, and flew through the 10-hour work day of back-to-back calls. At…[Read more]

How exciting!

Today I had the little Aldi coffee can with cream and sugar again. Work was so hard. I had the 2:45 pm lunch, and had 5 more bites of the pizza. Finally 7 pm work over, had 5 bites of pizza. Pizza finally finished. May get more bars in future, maybe Special K bars. I spend too much on food. Also need to get my vitamins on board. Cold water is…[Read more]

Not letting the Monday grind interfere with my plans. For breakfast, I had the little Aldi can of cold brew, but with cream and sugar. I had a tough day of work, with 5 bites of the little pizza square for lunch. Then at dinner I had another 5 bites of pizza, and it was heaven! The pizzas are about gone now, as my family members helped me eat…[Read more]

That is amazing.

Hello Week 2!

I have weighed myself, and I have lost 6 pounds. I am now at 185. This is major for me. I never have this success with my diets.

The last time I recall being in the 180s was in 2022. I lost weight by accident. I wasn’t trying. I had achieved the dream of all call center reps: I was put on the email queue! I was so excited. I was…[Read more]

The end of the weekend was good. On Saturday night, after I finished my 5 bites, I had an ice cream, but not more, and I went to bed.

On Sunday I had a little can of cold coffee I had purchased from Aldi. It had milk and sugar. I did not like it, but it was better than the Starbucks. To stay on my schedule, I ordered a lunch from Uber Eats to…[Read more]

Today I had my first 5 Bite Diet day off of work. I had planned it carefully, and was really looking forward to it.

First, as I had planned, I got up and just had a big unsweet iced tea. I did some laundry. To keep consistent, I did not want to have my lunch until 1:45, as the lunch time my employer assigns me is always between 1:45 and 2:45.…[Read more]

I am losing weight. 185.8.

Oh I just messed up, but I am learning.

This morning I tried to drink black coffee. I got a Starbucks iced coffee. The Starbucks site said that this coffee has notes of malted milk chocolate and brown sugar. I could not taste that. The taste was awful and bitter, and I ended up putting creamer in it. I did not like the taste or smell or way it…[Read more]

I’m an avid shopper. This extends to food as well. In the grocery store, I will buy the attractive things! Yes, I would like to cut back on what I spend but still enjoy.

Today I did well again. For my drink in the morning, I had Chik Fil A Iced Tea Unsweet, and it was good. I had 5 bites at around 2 pm.  3 bites Chik Fil A Hash Brown, 2 bites Chik Fil A Mini Chicken Sandwich. Dinner 630 pm. 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites potato chips. I made it through my 10 hour work day and was not irritable, was able to work…[Read more]
