Yes. You can.
Hi peeps
I am going to start this thread, similar to my Stream of Consciousness thread - just so I can record thoughts, experiences, etc., all in one place. Decided not to add to my other thread as I will be discussing food and thought that might be unfair for the other users not yet to this stage.
Today is day 4 of RTM, and it's all going rather well. After day one's upset.
Having gotten so ill after my first meal, I must say I was less then excited to eat on day 2. Considering how long I have waited to eat, it was really something on Day 2 to shudder at the thought of food - but I managed.
Day twos meal did go better then day 1, but was not wonderful. IT was chicken, and I found it a huge effort, all that chewing!!
Day three - however - was a day worth waiting for. To be able to have some fresh veg - well, celery and lettuce leaves - but what joy! And lemon juice! I had a Green salad with a little salmon on top, 2 small spoons of cottage cheese and dressing diluted wit lemon juice.
Oh.......it was Nirvana. I told my OH I could happily live on just that every day for the rest of my life!! LOL
I love that the idea of simple food is so nice. I am hoping I have purged my desire for really fussy food - food that requires a lot of prep, seasonings, etc. I just want to get back to basics. At least for awhile. And that's how I felt last night. It felt so good.
I had a real wobble yesterday while soaking in the bath. I started worrying about hos I have transfered my eating habit to a shopping habit. I laugh, but, if I am honest, is is a serious problem - and that needs addressing. BUt the important peice - is I got myself so worked up and stressed out - and thought this would have been an opportunity to go stuff myself in previous times - so I acknowledged that and though, "What a stupid thing to do, that would be,m to go eat - beacuse of THIS?? Waht would that even solve - why did I ever think it would solve anything!!??" Was quite pleased with that.
S0 - we carry on.
It's so wonderful though - every bit, of each new food - each forgotten flavour that dances across my tongue - it all tastes mainly of one thing: success.
There's no sweeter taste.
Here's to more adventures ahead!
