Went out yesterday for John's birthday. We are only 5 days apart with birthdays so we usually have a birthday week, it's such fun! Anyhow, we have a nice lunch too and yesterday was the day. First time going out for a b/d lunch since I started low carbing and I thought I might have a carby meal which I ordered. It came with chips and a breaded schnitzel and I thought wow that looks so nice. But the oddest thing happened, I found I didn't really fancy it much at all. I ate about 6 chips and only half the schnitzel, I sat back absolutely full. I thought about this later and all these good things have come out of it:
1. My eating habits have changed so much I no longer like the things I used to. I would have been far happier with a nice plain chicken breast
2. My appetite has more than halved and doing LC with healthy fat, I am satisfied with all the good stuff I generally have and a small serving too.
3. Nothing is as it used to be and I have finally realised that as far as eating goes, I am a different person.
I am blown away by all this, I really am because I just didn't realise what has been happening to me. I would find it extremely difficult now to eat a. the amount of food I used to eat and b. the kind of food I used to eat. A lot of it was low fat and I now realise that it wasn't good for me because of the amount of sugar that's usually added to low fat stuff.
I am one incredibly lucky me to have discovered all this so yahooooooooooooooo!!!!
And pssst....I am pretty **** proud too
