Food...ugh!

It's been 7 months since I've started this weight program and there really isn't a day that goes by that I'm not learning something about my body and how I react to food since I've made the switch. I am realizing that I can't just eat what I use to eat or the amounts of it. Good thing though! Last night I had lasagna and I love it, always have...but man it wasn't liking me anymore. I don't like the feeling I have when I eat "heavy" foods and I am starting to wonder early on in my weight gain did I ever feel the same way or did I just ignore it because I wanted it more then the outcome...make sense? But now, I realize that sometimes it's just not worth the feeling or feeling miserable to just eat something. A whole new outlook and a whole need approach to eating! Good times!


Yesterday I was out cold calling for my job. (in the rain..always a good time) But I took a break during the lunch hour to catch up on email and to just take a rest. I usually go to a Panera Bread because you can use their Wi-Fi. So like I normally do, I found a table in the corner and set up my computer. I hadn't really been there more then 5 minutes and this little lady that worked there came over to my table with a cute little smile and said "Excuse me, would you like for me to bring you something to eat or drink?" That was a first because normally you just order on your own...I glanced over to the large selection of pastries they had out and my stomach hurt, I also wasn't interested in eating lunch at that moment. So I said, I'd like to get an Ice Tea and I'll figure out if I want to eat later. She was sweet and did just that. When she brought my Ice Tea over she said to me "If you want a pastry, just let me know, they are to die for..." And at that moment, in my mind I thought to myself I don't want to die for food...and just smiled to myself. I thanked her for her kindness. I realized sitting there that something had changed in my, I no longer wanted to eat my way though life, I no longer wanted to try every sweet item in that case. The opposite has happened. I am living life without living for food. And all I want to say to that is...ABOUT TIME!
