Although my weight is everso slowly coming off, I continue to see significant life changes in my relationship with food. Yesterday I baked a cake for a birthday party at work. Not just any cake, but a Hummingbird cake.
Now if you don’t know what Hummingbird cake is, just imagine a lightly sweet, spicy, nutty piece of heaven in your mouth - with cream cheese frosting. The miracle here is that I baked the cake, served it to my coworkers, didn’t eat any, and it didn’t bother me nearly as much as one would think.
Another true lifestyle change - another huge step in my carbohydrate recovery. I am begining to understand how an alcoholic feels when around alcohol - I am the same with carbohydrates, especially cakes and cookies and pasteries. Forget the chips, don’t need bread, won’t miss the potatos and rice. But for me to slice and serve that beautiful cake and not so much as taste it… I’m very proud of myself!
