I want it soo bad

Hello, you guys probably remember me. I come back every couple of months. I try, I fail , I quit. Repeat. This cycle has been going on for 4 years now. I can't believe it. 4 of the best years o my life wasted on the war between food and unhappiness. Gosh.
So I'm back. For the next 50 days. I am starting a 50 day challenge for myself and anyone who wants to be involved. I'm starting mine tomorrow morning. ( I had 10 bites of supper tonight just to get warmed up to the counting bites thing again). My challenge to myself is to eat 10 bites or less 2 times a day for the next 50 days. Peanuts!
I've been reading the happiness project, and something she says keeps sticking in my brain and messing around. "The days are long but the years are short".

I am going to keep my goal in sight. Anyone have any advice on making it a routine? How do you make the diet work for you?
Anyways, ill post my starting stats tomorrow. Smile

Until then!

I agree with Dmac...day by day and then the days really start to add up. I'm really sick right now and I'll be back on the forum and on plan soon. Good luck! You can do it! Twisted Evil

Day 1- 157.4
Day 2- 157.0

Just a quick update Smile

skipping lunch today cause I'm really busy and honestly not hungry at all Smile

49 days left! Excited to feel in control again of my weight. Not feeling it yet, but I know if I stick to it the diet will work!

Have a great day everyone

It will work...If I could be 154 right now, I would be sooooo much happier with myself...but it still would not be near my goal weight...so I get it! Take it easy on yourself, be true to the diet and you will get where you need to be. If you are too hard on yourself, you will start to feel like you can't do this. You are doing this! Focus on the perfect 5 bites twice a day and your weight will melt off so fast! Try not to have anything that will take you off track and only eat foods you love. We are here to support you every step of the way! alien

Hey guys. So went a little off today. I had a sandwich for lunch ( I say 10 bites) and didn't count my bites at supper. BUT even though it was obviously more than 19 bites, I had a normal person supper. We had meatloaf and half my plate was salad with no dressing, so I'm not upset at myself. If the scale goes the wrong way in the morning so be it, cause tomorrow is gonna be perfect.

I think a lot about if this diet is sustainable. My ultamite goal weight is 120, so what happens when I reach it? I can't eat this little forever? But I realised, maybe if I could eat NORMAL portions with no snacking and 5bite every couple of days, the scale would probably let me sustain that weight. The thought of this diet being unsustainable is what usually throws me off, not cravings or hunger. But now I've figured it out ( I think). Getting to that weight, sure I have to stick to it perfectly if I want to reach my goal in a reasonable amount of time,
But now I have the knowledge that this really can be a way of life fr the rest of my life.

I fear yoyo dieting, to me losing and gaining it back is worse than staying this weight. But I can keep it off forever with some dedication and vigilance on my part.

Do you agree? So ends day 47. Oh and I forgot to weigh myself
This morning. Sorry no update there

shelbyfoxx on Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:18 pm

Bad news, scale went up big time.. Didn't thin it would affect me so badly. 159.0 I can't remember the last time I weighted this much. I am on track today. Today is gonna be a perfect day

shelbyfoxx on Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:45 am

Lunch- had a ham and cheese sandwich (10 bites)
Supper - salmon and rice ( 10 bites) and a salad ( 10 bites)

The days are long but the years are short

shelbyfoxx on Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:56 pm

Today's weight in- 156.4 ( wowsers, darn near 3 pounds) feeling fairly in control. I have a new short term goal, next Saturday there's a benifit dance and I want to be under 150. Six more pounds in a week and a day. Think I can do it? Chaaa

ElleBella on Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:57 pm

Wow great job!!!You can do it!!!

Snow White on Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:04 am

Once you get to your goal weight, you just adjust your bites until you find out how many bites it will take you to maintain your weight. I understand about the yo-yoing...b/c that's where I live in yoyoland!!!! The main thing is that if you go back to eating the way you did before, you will gain the weight back. So we do need to make a permanent change in portion size.

shelbyfoxx on Wed Mar 20, 2013 2:24 pm

Hey guys, after a hormone filled last couple days ( get it) i have want back up to 157. Which is surprising. The surprising part being that its only 157 and not 30000. But I guess I did try to watch my portion sizes dispite the garbage I was eating. Well, today is a new day, and I'm gonna fight for it. Smile

Snow White on Thu Mar 21, 2013 6:22 pm

This would help me keep up with because I'm lazy....when you weigh in, could you put down your day 1 weight and your current weight...this way I can see your total loss. This also helps me stay motivated, too to see how much weight I have lost rather than just looking at today's number. If I only look at today's number I can feel defeated because I still have so far to go. Looking back at how far you've come will help you and all the people here that support you. Twisted Evil

I am glad for you that it was not 30000 lol.. Razz
