Sharon Marie!

Thanks for your note. So far my weekend is going well. I am with a group of my boys from the Catholic High School where I am the chaplain.  We are in the middle of a senior retreat. The setting is beautiful. Even this retreat is helping me stay focused on the diet. At Lunch today at first I was afraid to eat my Snicker bar for l…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis,

I haven’t eaten Snicker’s exclusively over a course of several days.  I think the most that I’ve done is three lunches in a row.  Let me ask you very seriously, do you think that I should consider only eating Snicker’s for, say, a week  twice a day?  The small portion would not bother me too much, but I wonder if that is a “he…[Read more]

BK!

I am thrilled with your note and decision to stick with the 5 Bite Diet.  Is it a hard program to be sure, but after having completed the Diet Program in 2007 I was able to turn my life around.  I started donating blood (O-), participating competitive Stair Climbing Races, running long distance including 15 marathons (26.2 miles), etc.  In La…[Read more]

BK…

I just read Dr. Lewis’ note and while it will take me more time to digest what he said, I just what to affirm what he wrote.  There were times 2006 that I wanted to “bag it,” but I stuck with the 5 Bite Diet.  I know the very real positive effect it had in my life.  After all, what “old man” (as one of my students called me!) takes up ru…[Read more]

This is my second time through the diet.  While some things are easier this time around,other things are as challenging as they were before. I like to think of this as a journey that I am on with you and the other folks.  Yes, we’ll trip and fall once in awhile,but we get up and continue the journey. I guess that I have learned a lesson by r…[Read more]

Good afternoon, Sharon!  A short time ago I returned to my home and am able to catch up with personal matters!  My journey is going well, but a moment ago when I tried to update my weight I typed 107 instead of 207!  Yikes!  I hope that I properly corrected it!  I will check it in a few minutes.

How is my journey going?  So far it has becom…[Read more]

When I did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 community support meant everything and ensured success I have back for “Round Two” on the 5 Bite Diet, I am coming to understand the support that is active and real in this circumstance.  You are not alone!  We’re on this journey together!

Skinny,

I remember the first time I did the 5 Bite Diet and I was concerned, even worried, about being ravenously hungry as I got used to eating only five bites twice a day. In fact I remember that I was never ravenously hungry, but rather I felt very weak very lightheaded. After maybe 8 to 10 days that lightheaded weak feeling went away and I…[Read more]

We Catholics have a prayer service during Lent called <i style=”font-weight: bold;”>The Stations of the Cross</i>.  During this prayer service we recall that Jesus fell three times on the journey to Calvary and three times he got up and continued the journey.  Like me, you might have fallen, but the journey continues and that is what is most i…[Read more]

Skinny!  Thank you for your support and encouragement.  They mean more to me than I can say.  I truly feel like I am off to a good re-start of my program.  While it is fairly cold up here in Northern California, my week so far is off to a good start.  My school is still on holiday and that is pleasant.  My 5 Bite Diet is off to a good start for t…[Read more]

How did I do yesterday?!?  Fairly well, though New Year’s Day itself was problematic.  I can assure you that lunch today will be a

!!!!

Ah, it’s great to know that there is another Snicker Fan out there!  When I went to Walgreen’s to get some for diet use they had a Snicker Yard box with 18 bars inside.  I laughed so hard that I had to buy a box.  Now I have to learn discipline not eat more then one at a time. PS:  They are the regular size Snicker Bars, not the King-sized bars.  Drats!

Rachel…Thanks for your simple yet powerful words of wisdom. I will try to remember them.

Wynona, when I first did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 every day I would write a take my weight write it down and or any loss or gain. That paper help me keep focus. That might be my suggestion, for what it’s worth. Sean

Susan, thank you for your very kind words of encouragement. That means a lot to me. So far the day is going fairly well but I have to admit that a couple of times I’ve fallen. However school is out for Christmas holiday and so I don’t have to worry about final exams, students, and a whole host of other things. I will have time to do what I wan…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis, please forgive me for not responding sooner. My School finally finished final examinations and let the boys out for Christmas vacation. Becky asked me an immense amount of freedom to get other things done rather than pay attention to students.

140 lbs!?! I remember you telling me that once in your office and I was horrified! I must…[Read more]
