I know we are all very supportive of each other on STAC and it is great. This is what keeps me going and the way I feel. I am never hungry anymore and feel great.
It is cooking for the DH, because he is the only one home anymore. The stepchildren are grown and gone now. Yes, I still cook potatoes, pasta and other high carb foods for him. I now have to mentally think about not tasting the food to see if it needs more salt or spices and hope it tastes good to him.
Does this mean I have to cook separate dinners? Well no, not really. Ususally, we can have the same foods, mine minus the potatoes, pasta, bread or whatever else is not on my foods list. Yup, sometimes there are times when I would just like to have a taste of the potatoes but then I think of how well I have been doing and also having to tell all of you about it. OK, so far, I have been a good girl.
Other things I notice are old habits that creap up. One day I was at work at a very boring class and tried very hard not to fall asleep. I thought to myself as I was sitting there, when I get out for a break, I am going to the snack machine and buying a chocolate candy bar so that I will have energy to stay awake. I walked down the hall to the snack machine, looked at the candy bars, and then realized that THIS was not acceptable for my WOE. I then looked some more and found a double stick of salami. OK, I told myself. This will have to do. I ate those two pieces and lo and behold, I stayed awake during the rest of class. Who would have thought salami would have worked like chocolate!!!
So do any of you have these old ways of thinking and bad habits creep up on you only to realize that you have changed your WOE? I am just glad I remembered in the nick of time.
