Taste and toss..i did that at my nephews birthday party last week. I tasted everything and didn’t gain,even lost a little something that day… It felt RIGHT!
I will make it a daily habit and not just for the parties and gatherings…

Have fun! Costa Rica is heavenly!

Today was not good. I let myself go. There were a lot of goodies at work, both savory and sweet and I ate several bites. At home, I had 8bites stuffed tomato with rice and 2 bites cheese. After that I had one energy drink and several bites of sandwich and wafers.

I need some advice. Here’s the thing. I love food very much. It’s a big joy…[Read more]

You already proved that you can do this. You are a really focused and strong person. You lost weight during family vacation, what’s more to say??? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

5 pounds gone last week. Could have done better, but I still think it’s good… :cheer:
Today’s meals:
Lunch…………….1 snickers bar
Dinner (early dinner)…………….. 5 bites peas, potatoes + feta cheese

This was always the big question for me. WHY? Why am I fat and this person isn’t? Is it genetics? Is it what they eat? Is it when they eat? And the answer is very simple but nobody wants to admit it. Some people are thin because they eat less and they don’t struggle doing it, it’s completely natural and doable once you get used to it. But…[Read more]

Hello everyone! It’s been 4 days since I last posted but I was sick and super busy -what a luck – Anyway, my bronchitis episode is getting better and I feel great because I generally did good all those days. I was between 5-7 bites for lunch and dinner. I ate a bit more yesterday night at my nephews birthday party. The buffet was awesome. But…[Read more]

I have come to this conclusion. Falling off the wagon is inevitable. Life happens. Problems happen. The crucial point is this. Get right back on track as fast as possible. Don’t eat all day long just because you messed up at breakfast. Don’t binge tomorrow because it’s Sunday anyway and you better start on Monday. I lost many years like…[Read more]

Today was weigh-in day. I lost only 2 lbs this week. Not surprised.
I’m not giving up, though.

Yesterday i managed to eat just 2 bars. I guess i got frustrated from blowing up the bar week and i wanted to prove to myself that i can do it even for 1 day. It wasn’t that bad.

Today i ate 2 bites feta cheese, 1 bite lentil soup, 8 bites pasta with…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind words! All of this support means so much to me. I won’t quit.

Just keep the memories of this wonderful weekend! All it matters is that you are back on track.

It’s been 3 days since I last posted. Things are not going well with the bar challenge. It is too little food for me and too restrictive regarding flavor.
Day 1: 3 bars (I ate another bar after posting because I was too hungry)
Day 2: 1 bar for breakfast, tried to do 5 bites of food for lunch but ended up eating more
Day3: 3 bars (too hungry)
Day…[Read more]

Day 1of bar challenge
1 snickers bar for breakfast
1 for lunch

I feel like crap today. My bronchitis flared up.
I am an elementary school teacher and I also have two small children at home who attend kindergarten so I am always surrounded by viruses. And every single virus infection turns into bronchitis.
Today I have this nasty cough and my mood…[Read more]

Great idea! A sandwich -dip combination!

I love sandwiches and its one of my favorite! :woohoo:

I get the same thing with cooking shows. There are too many cooking shows on Greek television. :dry:

Today’s meals
Breakfast – 5 bites sandwich with gouda, smoked chicken breast, mayonnaise and sliced cucumber.
Lunch – 5 bites beef stew
I had coffees with sweeteners and one lemongrass tea with cinnamon only.

I bought my 14 Snickers and I start the bar challenge tomorrow March 24!

We won’t quit, right Kansas?

Headache is a classic one. It will pass. :kiss:

You are doing awesome! Don’t you feel mad at yourself for not trying this earlier? I do! What was afraid of? That I would miss out on food? That it would be hard??? It’s not hard, you get used to it just fine!

Let’s do this. 14 bars, 1 week. There will be no failure. People have been eating bars for weeks and weeks. We will make it.
