Hot water. Just hot water is very good to reduce my cravings and hunger in the middle endless afternoons.

When I am hungrier at lunch I try to eat some bites of pasta or bread, which I find more fulfilling .
When at lunch I am much more prey of cravings, I try to keep more bites, at least 3 for chocolates or comfort food.

Tonight I had both so I had 3 bites of pasta and 2 of panna cotta with Nutella.

Sometimes it is harder. Eating 5 bites at 1 pm.
Wait for dinner till 9 pm.

Probably the hardest part is not the eating one but the long time among lunch and dinner.
I wake up at 6 am. Before lunchtime I have had at least 5 or six espresso coffees in order to kill hunger.
I have lunch….afternoon is always soooo long to pass without chewing.

I will weigh in on Thursday. I do not want to be obsessed by weight in order not to lose my mind on perfect 5 bites.

I am doing well. With little up and down but well.

Yes.

Yes. Trying not to think too much at the “results”. Trying to concentrate on perfection of 5 bites!

I haven’t been weighed in over the last days. Nevertheless people around me are telling me I am too skinny. They do not like me because of my face….good sign!

That means it is working out!

I have read that eating habits can be improved improving our environment around us.
The problem is not having excuses to cheat!

Otherwise I can be in an empty room and go out to look for food.

What it is true is that the diet should be not lived as a diet.
And 5 BD is more a lifestyle than a diet!

Yea

Doing very well. Feel strong and happy!

Going on with my planning. Today I am craving something sweet. For lunch with family I will keep some bites for something very special …. :woohoo:

One or two bites of pasta and the other 3 bites for a cream cake I have in my fridge.

I had a wonderful dinner with my family!
A 5 bite dinner for me.

going on. Little tired. I feel dizzy. Nevertheless I go on.
Stronger and motivated than ever!

I treat my weights problems with 5 bite diet.
Sadness with a light therapy.

I do everything possible to keep the problems separated!

Anibee what excuses are you using to overeat?

Stress?
Then look for a real solution for your stress problems avoiding for example to work too much, annoying people or whatsoever!

For example for me it was a real sadness without any concrete reason.
I was binging and purging everything day or twice a day to cover such sadness l had 24 hours a…[Read more]

Most of the times eating and overeating and binging and purging are just methods that we use instead of working on the real problems that then become excuses to manta in the cycle.

I was saying “I eat because I am too sad”. Considering that I am too sad and that I have strong cravings, I will eat till explode.

Today when I have strong cravings I…[Read more]

Depression is not a cause for binging but it can be an excuse. I am then trying to treat it to ease my journey in life.
I am trying to avoid annoying people.

I mean trying to avoid all the excuses I used to have to overeat

Thank you so much for the encouragement everyone! I did gain 2lbs this last week, but I’m not surprised. For everyone that thinks bulimia makes you lose weight, it’s just not the case. At least not long term let alone all the wonderful side effects

But I had a great day yesterday & I have renewed motivation!

So I’m going to be completely honest… I’m really nervous for the Monday weigh in.

I’m using 5 bite to show me where I struggle with food & I’ve been battling bulimia for many many years. I’ve gone to numerous counselors, tried prescribed drugs & it’s still an issue.

I’ve tried all the diets & this is the first honest one that…[Read more]
