I think I am settling into this. Putting meat and vegetables on my plate and calling it a meal is becoming normal. I am not really doing "low" carb, but moderate carbs so that I am allowed some flexibility. Tonight hamburger steak and a lettuce salad with Crystal Light was dinner and I didn't even get upset because I couldn't put my hamburgers on a bun like everyone else. Since getting the Crystal Light, I am no longer obsessed with Pepsi and sweet tea and I feel like this is just becoming normal life. Emotionally, it is wonderful to be free of the intensity of the cravings and the obsession with bingeing that I have always had and physically I already feel leaner and less "puffy". Those are wonderful motivators. My daughter had her boyfriend over today and I didn't even let myself feel guilty because I didn't have snacks in the house. I cooked dinner at six and we all ate together, but there were no chips, cookies, soda, ice cream bars, or crackers to munch on in between meals. This was huge for me because I am not only an eater, but a big "feeder" as well, and I have always put out food when anyone drops by. Letting go of the feeling that I have to take care of others at my own expense is a big step forward. One day closer to eating to live and not living to eat-YAY!
