Re: I can already sense a change...

That is great, Sally! It is such a satisfying feeling to me to stop eating something that I don't like. It is truly a sign of change!

Hi all! I'm still not all the way through the book, and I know I have miles to go, but I'm starting to notice some changes in how I approach food, and I'm excited. I'm trying to be very mindful about what I

want to eat and really listen to my body. I'm also trying to make a very conscious effort to taste and take pleasure in my food. Well, yesterday I think I had proof that I'm really fine-tuning my taste

buds. My husband brought home some sort of dried fruit trail mix, and it sounded yummy after our workout, so I sampled some. I usually like the stuff, but oh was it ever too sweet! Blech! The old me would have just said, " eh, " and would have finished the handful. I stopped,

realized I didn't want to have anymore, and gave the rest to my husband. I went and had some almonds instead, which were divine! Also, I think I'm getting better at detecting " satisfied " feelings. I

think I was a bit premature last week, and ended up hungry fairly quickly. I had a rather substantial sandwich at lunch yesterday, with chips, and kept checking in--I decided I was still hungry and just finished the whole thing. Well, I was good and satisfied all the way

up to dinner. I wasn't terribly hungry for dinner, so I ate very lightly and felt great! -- ~c~
