Hi there! Thank you for checking in with me. I’m actually not doing very well at all. Last week I felt on top of the world. This week I feel stressed, emotional and anxious. We are closing on the sale of our house tomorrow and moving cross country and the stress has made it very hard to focus and I’ve def had some slip ups and mistakes. I’m afraid…[Read more]

That’s funny!  I heard another mantra…”90% is a *itch, 100% is a breeze”. So true.  All-in is way easier that almost-in.

Hi Mel!  Welcome back!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Mel!!</p>
 

I too lost 30 pounds on this diet before I started messing up, a little extra bite here, a snack there. Luckily, I haven’t gained anything but I’m ready to get focused and get these extra pounds off for good!

I know we can do it! The victory will be so sweet 😊

Woke up to another pound lost today!! Feeling the momentum rise! I want to look fabulous on the beach this weekend!

Doing better today. I was happy to see a 1 pound loss this morning!

I am a little under the weather so I’ve just been resting before we go out of town this weekend. Normally I would want comfort food but not today. I’ve done great so far!

Hi Dr. Lewis!  What made me finally commit to perfection was two things.  First, I found myself really depressed, and I realized committing to the diet once and for all would make me feel better.  The second thing was the community. After reading so many posts on the forum, I wanted to commit and try to be perfect too!!  Not just continue to sit…[Read more]

Thank you both for the amazing encouragement and advice! I’m going to read this thread everyday until it’s effortless! Will report back tomorrow.

Hi!  Hang in there!!  I am new on the forum.  I started 5BD back in June.  This week is the first time I managed 3 perfect days and was able to set my hunger stat.  It is amazing once you do that.  Just three days.  Now five bites fills me up.  I feel uncomfortable now if I eat more.  Just keep repeating to yourself “never take a sixth bite”.

Thanks a million!!

Dr Alwin- I am fortunate to have a husband who fixes my meals for me so I eat whatever he makes for dinner and I always have leftovers so I eat that for lunch the next day. Usually a healthy mix of a protein and veggies.  It’s all stuff that I like!  I haven’t tried the bars since I don’t really care for bars, candy bars or sweets period! I w…[Read more]
