The beginning of this week I was on a bit of a downer about the diet, I felt like it would take forever, and I was never going to get there. 6 months of no food. Nothing, apart from an add a meal week or two. I thought about stepping up to SS+ but I was a bit concerned about how I'd be with the introduction of food, but decided to go for it, and have been enjoying it and now feel a lot more positive.
Anyway, to the point! Sorry, I ramble a lot. Tonight I made a chicken salad for dinner. And now half way through I've put my bowl aside, because I'm full. And it made me think, before this diet, I wouldn't have done that. I would have finished it because it tasted nice. I was the same last week on a night off I went to nandos with my sister, but I ate very little. I've probably always recognised being full, but now I'm listening to it. I just hope that it bodes well for closer to goal and further up the plans!
So if anyone is feeling like I was, like as soon as food is in the picture it'll all go tits up, it doesn't have to. I've realised just how much this diet retrains our minds and habits too. Maybe that's the biggest benefit of this diet, taking food out of the equation, leads to simplicity. But it also means that maybe we start to recognise the feelings of hunger and fullness more, rather than just the I really fancy... or ooh I could murder a... I think it is for me anyway, and I hope it is for all of you!
Anyway, I'll shut up now! Hope you're all having fab days.
