And another day through.

68

Thanks! yes I’m already feeling a lot better about the whole project thus far being on track these last 3 days. It just took a little cognitive adjustment. Here’s what helped me refocus my efforts:

I make sure to start up a pot of coffee before I have a meal and I set out a large glass of water

I make up my plate of food slowly and…[Read more]

66 & 67

I weighed in up 1/2 a lb unfortunately this week. Extra bites and extra big bites, no excuses about it. Have been on track the last two days, taking small bites and not more than 5. Already 2 lbs down from that. I’ve been reminding myself that the food is just for the hunger pangs at mealtime and the taste which I don’t need extra big…[Read more]

oh thanks dana I will check it out!

Thanks you too!

Day 65

A little overboard today but not by much. Having the feeling that I want to maintain where I am at instead of push further another 10 lbs. Feeling uncertain about what to do exactly, but staying calm about it. This is a familiar pattern from the last time I quit but I am not going to! It’s just 10 lbs!

I think a part me…[Read more]

Agreed, I notice a huge difference in appetite without caffeine/coffee.

Day 64

Another day, not perfect but still truckin.

Day 63

it continues, another day!

An insight into the value of simplicity and pragmatism.

I went to school to get a degree in philosophy. We spent all of our time figuring out how to critically analyze arguments and worldviews. We learned overly complex jargon to describe things. By the end of it I had essentially learned that everything can be doubted, that all viewpoints were…[Read more]

Day 62

Thanks guys, glad you’re inspired to keep going! That keeps me inspired to continue and finish as well. And onwards, I’m looking forward to the 130s!

Day 61

Another day, schedule go messed up a little but other than that, still losing, and winning! lol

Thanks guys

Day 60

2 months, still movin. GF has also started her own 5 bite journey, wants to drop 10-15 lbs just to be at a lower bmi. It’s nice to have someone to 5 bite with for a bit. Don’t bother trying to convince anybody that what you’re doing is THE WAY to go about things. Don’t waste the energy. Instead use that energy to just drop the…[Read more]

Day 59

welp 147 today, was hoping at least 145 since I was 146 on wednesday. This has got to be water fluctuations doing their thing. I just learned  that something like 1/2 a tsp of salt can make for 6 lbs of water weight which will eventually flush out with more water consumption throughout the day/week. So if it’s possible to have that much…[Read more]

Day 58

Still going, weighing in tomorrow!

Nice, you’re getting over that initial hump. I took it easy on exercise at first and just relaxed my way through the first few weeks only training when I felt comfortable enough to. Maybe that’ll work for you too! everyone is different though, good luck!

I’m hurrying lol!

Day 57

Still going! Happy Halloween y’all

I have also found this tidbit quite illuminating. Thinking of fat as this active inflammation producing process stoked my motivation to be rid of it entirely

Day 56

And onward! Today marks my longest amount of compliance. This is basically the point that I bailed out last time I gave a serious go at this diet. Welp, I feel much better this time to say the least. Only a few more lbs to go

54-55

Keeping it easy, still dropping weight.

Hell yes, good work Susan, have fun in Mexico!
