Are you another sufferer that has spent years and decades of gaining weight each time you tried to lose it? — I hear you... I spent 50 years doing the same thing. I was 5'4" at 19 years old the first time I was told I should lose weight. I weighed only 116 pounds.  After three months of practically starving, I had gained 17 pounds.  I know what a lifetime of ignoring the slurs and insults can do to you. I had not stepped on a scale in years.  When I did and saw I was closing in on 300 pounds, I broke down in tears. Is this what comes from starting on a new diet every time one is announced? Well, in part. This diet, the 5 Bite Diet, is based on sound medical proof that anyone with any weight problem can streamline and reach their goal, honestly! It is not just another fad!

​

Of the 100's of so diets I’ve been on, this one has worked and keeps working. 

(SEE MY SPECIAL OFFER: A LAMINATED 8"X 11" MUFFIN RECIPE CARD) At over 70, morbidly overweight, heart problems, died in my 50's with gall bladder surgery and again in my 60's with hernia surgery. It’s a fact that the doctors refused to perform stomach bypass surgery.  No problem, I settled for being the fat Granny and Aunt. I had gradually gained weight year after year, dieting or not.  

​

So, facts are facts: I have only had one notable success in decades of attempts at dieting. When I looked back at all of those failed attempts, I finally saw that there was always a few things 'I' did that sabotaged my success: boredom, finances, and time constraints add those together with a lack of self control, support, and a major lack of self esteem made failure inevitable. 

​

Sound familiar? As I see it, what happens is that the initial exuberance wears off if weight loss begins too slow, frustration and boredom kick in.  The cost of prepackaged, delivered meals was and is out of the question for long term weight loss. If you have only 5 or 10 pounds to lose it can happen fast, in only a weeks or two.  But what about 50, 100 or even 150 or more? Our brains blur out and our dreams are pushed away. We know that we do not have the will of a Mac truck to continue down the road of humiliation and defeat.  I lost 20 pounds per month the first three month...

We tell ourselves that the only thing to help pick you up emotionally, when you’re feeling lost and worthless, is the self same very food you’ve been trying to avoid. 

​

It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s the bane of almost every dieter at one time or another. So, one night I drempt about something that changed it all for me. I coupled the revelation in my dream with the 5 Bite Diet originated by Dr. Alwin Lewis and came up with the answer that would not only help me help myself, but help you and many others too. l am a recovering dieter that is breaking free from what the nutritionists and 95% of the health care folks typically advise. 

 

Now losing weight, to me, is anything but boring. I can hardly wait for each day to begin. It is gloriously simple: I put on my 'big girl face', and never looked back. Yes, I do my very best to stay as close to 20 bites a day, have a steady weight loss and still have pounds to lose.  I eat what I like, and look forward to creating bite sized dishes to share with all of you!  (SEE MY SPECIAL OFFER: A LAMINATED 8"X 11" MUFFIN RECIPE CARD) 

Those that have boarded my train know that we can do anything for a certain time period, some times are longer than others. Some eat breakfast, some don't, some do it with partners, some don't. Some only want to lose for a special occasion or a special person.  I have my person, there are no forthcoming occasions, and I am a good enough reason to do it for myself, and maybe gain a little more time here in this world of milk and honey.

 

In order to lose weight, love your neighbor, or win at anything, you must first be as trainable as a spoon fed child, find the joy in it, learn a few secrets about yourself, and then you can share your newfound freedom, knowledge, and skills to help others imprisoned in their own cell of fat. — thereby we can each be over-comers and grab the the best chance of success. Why make yourself wait another day?
