Talking I don't WANT it!
I'm calorie counting, but I've been trying to listen to my body more. I don't eat something just because it's on my plan.

Every morning when I'm in putting my food on the daily plate for the day, I always plan a "tofutti cutie" which is like, a mini ice cream sandwhich, for my evening snack. The past 2 weeks I've had one like... 4 times. That's it. Tomorrow is my "cheat" meal, but I don't WANT it. It's weird. I spent days upon weeks eating whatever I thought I "wanted" and never feeling satisfied but I hardly have cravings for any of it any more (unless I'm super stressed)!

I feel really... I don't know... I guess I feel proud of myself. I'm proud that I'm finally feeling like I'm doing this in a way that's sustainable. I've never left room in my calorie allowance for snacks, and now that I am... I don't even want them! Not weighing everyday has helped, too. Looking forward to my weigh in day and how much I'm going to lose really keeps me on track. It's almost like a game!

I just wanted to share. I don't really have a question to ask or anything.

That's awesome! It's such a sigh of relief when your body is not screaming for food, isn't it? It's like all these years I've been yelling at the top of my lungs "I'M HUNGRY I'M HUNGRY!" and then when you stop yelling you actually hear that little voice inside of you that says "well maybe I'm not so hungry anymore." I LOVE that new voice!!!!

Congratulations! Doesn't it just feel awesome when you can look at something that was irresistible to you before and say without even feeling bad about it 'nah'!

Oh yes, it's a huge sense of accomplishment and a very wonderful proud feeling. Never mind the weight loss, but being in control feels just marvelous. Knowing that you CAN have something and then deciding that you WON'T - it's an unbeatable feeling.

You've reached a very good place. I'm so happy for you. Thanks for sharing.
