A couple of additional points to me, or really reminders for myself.
First, the fact that I am posting here about it is part of feeling like I can and am in control. This is an experiment, not permission to keep going.
Also, I enjoyed most but not all of what I ate (and yes, I did stop eating anything that I wasn't enjoying). So while a lot of less healthy foods may always taste good to me, not all of them do, and I can 1) eliminate them from any craving and 2) have hope that eventually, the list of less healthy foods I no longer enjoy will continue to grow.
And I also don't feel that great - blah, bloated, heartburn. I said when I first re-started that I was amazed at how quickly I started to feel a physical difference. I may be willing to eat some of these foods again in the future, but I need to remember this is the price I will pay. But the upside is that I look forward to feeling better in a few days of being on plan again - and a good reminder of why the scale isn't the only reason I'm doing it.
