I Didnt finish my lunch, no I didnt clean my plate!
This is just a huge deal for me (a former member of the clean plate club). I felt full, took a few more bites, (old habits die hard) and then said, "Nah, I'm done."
I left a half a bunless cheeseburger and half of my pumpkin dessert.
Since when do I know how to say when?
I was talking to my mother last night about my disappointment in not losing as much as quickly this time around but told her that if I never lost another lb on this WOL, I would still NEVER go back to eating the way I did before.
My main reason, is I have finally gotten my addiction for food under control. I dont wake in the morning and not want to get up because im so tired but then make myself because im motivated by some sweet something I have in the pantry. my whole day doesnt revolve around food anymore! Actually, when Im really busy or involved in something and I get hungry, (yes I know that hungry feels like now), I have to make myself stop to eat.
Also, since when have I had to MAKE myself eat. Quite the opposite of eating even when im not hungry or worse, eating even though Im full.
Also, I can do math in my head again! Yeah, who knew carbs put you into such a mental fog you feel stupid all of the time.
Mine got so bad, I was having serious short term memory problems. I went to the Dr expecting an MRI with all of the crazy symptoms but she recognized the effects of a high carb diet and pointed it out. This woman saved my life no doubt. Of course, I swore she was a quack at the time until doing my homework.
NO ONE CAN SAY THIS WOL doesnt work. Sure, other plans out there work as well for some such as weight watchers, south beach, etc. But for those like me with a serious food addiction (mainly sugar and carbs) There is no such thing as "you can eat this everyonce in a while in moderation" when it comes to sugar and complex carbs. One bite can be the kiss of death and this is the only WOE that has given the the will power I didnt have otherwise to stop my cravings.
I wish I could just kiss Dr atkins.
Sorry for the rant, Im on an emotional high here! There is no feeling greater than getting control of your life back from an addiction.
I CAN SAY NO!
