Before I started this journey, bacon was a staple in my diet and the only pork product I ate. I haven't had any bacon in over 6 months. My boyfriend doesn't get off work until midnight so I normally get to bed at 1:30 am. Last night I was awaken by an awful smell. I got up and followed my nose which led me into the kitchen where my boyfriend was making himself blts. I was totally amazed and happy that not only did the bacon stink to me but also when I saw it laying there glinting and crispy..I wasn't the least bit turned on to eat it. I like to believe that my love for bacon has passed and I am so happy happy for that. I use to eat a pack of it every 2 days but never again


Okay, I just wanted to share my happiness. You can all return to your regularly scheduled 3FC surfing .

Congratulations, that is a big step! Bacon can stink up the whole house can't it?

Yes it can and thank you so much!!

That's great that your tastes have changed! I admit that I still love the way bacon smells, but I only have it every 4 months or so now, if even that.

That's awesome!!! You're doing such an awesome job, truly an inspiration!!!

well, since I switched to turkey bacon-which I love--I don't ever smell that in my house--turkey bacon smells really good when it's being cooked though.

I still love the smell of bacon and even eat it at times. One or two slices isn't so bad. Now cooking a pound of bacon and then scrambling eggs in the grease IS bad. As a southern girl, I have done it many a time--but it is most definitely part of my past.

I am a southern girl too, born and bred.

For me, when it comes to foods I once loved and craved, when I am able to look at them and have the strength inside myself to walk away because it is no longer appealing makes me feel so happy and proud of myself

Thank you so much!

I used to eat a lot of bacon as well and have switched to turkey bacon. I cook it in the microwave and it comes out crispy and it really is very tasty.

Several years ago I lost 50 lbs with calorie counting/low fat diet. Prior to that, my weakness was french fries/chips/really anything fried. After my weight loss, I went out to greasy fast food place, ordered my old favorite all fried plate. I spent the next 16 hours in the bathroom with excruciating stomach cramps.

I wish I still had that 50 lbs off my body. Guess I should have kept listening to what the bod was trying to tell me.

That is awesome! I wish I could turn off my love for bacon...

Thank you

I won't lie I still enjoy a slice or two now and then.

Come on it's bacon- when you cook it the pan applauds- how amazing is that?! lol

Way to go! That is awesome that your tastes have changed.

I don't have have pork bacon too often, but when I do I enjoy it. At home we always cook turkey bacon which I like a lot. Much less greasy!
