Sorry, I just now wrote this on Leonag’s thread but I like it so much I’m re-posting it here, for me —-
The Old Saying goes:

“You Are What You Eat.”

But that can lead to some serious social issues (and maybe even legal ones!),
‘Cause if you wanna BE a skinny person you’re gonna have to EAT a skinny ….”
Eeek!

“Eat for the body you WANT, by Eating the body that you HAVE.”

We are
“calorie-warehouses”
with astonishingly ample inventories.

EXACT repeat of yesterday.

Here’s the Lesson:

If I really DO want more than 5 Bites of anything, there’s ALWAYS tomorrow.

Still, left-overs can’t beat fresh. Make enough for today, alone. You’ll thank yourself. (And you’ll get THIN!!!)

The fears and myths are what took me off this diet the first time, too.

The BIGGEST head-game I had to get around was the idea of “missing out” on something REALLY amazing.

I have now completely accepted the FACT 5 Bites is ENOUGH for now. ENOUGH was a huge hurdle for me. And, better yet 5 BITES of whatever I want MOST in this meal window of…[Read more]

I know most everyone here doesn’t need (or isn’t facing) a weight loss of 100 pounds and then some.

When I’m finished, I will have lost over HALF of myself!!

The 155 pounds I’ll be getting rid of is like TEN 15 pound bowling balls, I’ve had to carry around all day, everywhere.

This program is SAVING my LIFE.

1 day 1 meal.

Slice of tomato between two slices of balogna with a simple sauce of wasabi and soy sauce with salt and pepper.

3 liters of SmartWater throughout the day.

Starting Over,

I think I’m buying
organic vegetables
and when I get home
I discover
they’re just
regular donuts.”

I feel like James Brown sings, “… GOOD!!”

your problem is,
the answer

Hi circlecityvegan.

WELCOME!

Just a couple points to ease your mind.
1) Coffee is NOT a requirement of this eating plan.
It’s only brought up so frequently because Doc Al wants to make sure if we DO drink coffee, that we drink it BLACK (so we’re not sneaking in calories in the A.M., outside the eating window). Unsweetened and uncreamed tea…[Read more]

Kinda’ jazzed even if I’m blowing my own horn.

12 pounds this week!

After the little set-back two weeks in, I put my electrolytes/minerals and blood pressure back in order.

Now my trajectory is set. I truly wish I could count on twelve pounds a week cause I’d be done 10 1/2 weeks from now (a bit more than 2 months). Yes, I’m impatient but…[Read more]

Funny how time gets away from us. 20 days since I last posted on this thread.

This week, only one 5 bite meal per day.
Sat: 5Bt, Carnitas (@ a
Wedding, no less!)
Sun: 5Bt, Sausage
Mon: 5Bt, Cheeseburger
(no bun)
Tue: Repeat of Monday
Wed: 5Bt, Baloney, Tomato
& mustard.

Thursday A.M. is my weigh-in. Crossing my…[Read more]

So sorry.

I’m back on track, and will be posting more consistently.

I get how strange it feels when we think we’re writing only to ourselves.

Peace,

Hey, Pia.

T.O.M. would, of course, bring water-weight. Chances are you’re going to slide right out from under any weight gain.

And your maintenance will focus tightly around monthly issues.

Hey RSikes,

I’m also working toward a 100+ pound weight loss. Let’s inspire each other (and everyone else)!!
