This is aweful everything on tv has food on, never noticed before! Water is getting to me, my mouth is feeling and tasting rubbish from it.:tear_drop:
Hi Lynn
Its amaing isn't it - when we take food and remove it from our lives - we start to notice it everywhere else! I felt the same way!!
One day about day 4 or 5 - a girl I work with, knew very little at the time, and who did not know I was on a diet - came up to me and plonked right in front of my face and under my nose the biggest most gorgeous slice of Chocoalte Fudge Cake and she said, "LOOK! LOOK what I have!!!" And it was literally in my face - if I stuck my tongue out I could have tasted it!! Inside I wanted to eat the whole cake and her arm too - and I thought if only she knew I had not eaten for 4 or 5 days!!! LOL Bless her.
So yeah - food is everywher and our senses for it are heightened.
On the same line - you will begin to notice just how much others eat. And how frequently.
I wnet out after about 3 weeks to my inlaws for dinner. They all had a roast dinner and I had my soup. I sat there, utterly amazed at the amount of food piled on their plates. And realised that was how much I used to eat too. It was a REAL eye opener.
There will come a day, not too far away where the site of food won't bother you.
In fact, I spent the last month or so watching allt he cooking shows! It was a vicarious thrill - but I did not dare do it in the early days!! No way - wouldda ate my TV!!
Hang in there - you are going to be so motivated when you do your first weigh in. You will have little doubt after that!
You are all doing so well!!!!
