Its amazing to me how good boring food tastes when you are legitimately hungry.... I was starving earlier and had 5 WW Melba toasts and a half cup cottage cheese... thought I had died and gone to Heaven..........
When I was bingeing... nothing seemed to be satisfying, I'd go from salty to sweet over and over. But OP everything I eat is awesome !!! I love it...
i hear ya! before i changed my ways of eating, i'm not sure i ever really knew what "hunger" was. it's amazing how awesome food can be when your body truely needs it as opposed to when you are just stuffing your face 24/7 like i was! i mean, i knew food was good then, but now...wow!
That is SO true for me, as well! I used to constantly chase my next high from food and nothing ever seemed to satisfy it. Now, give me some string cheese and a corn cake (like a rice cake made of corn) and I'm as happy as can be! Prior, I would eat an eclaire, a croissant and maybe an omlet and not get that much satisfaction. It's weird, but wonderful! I'm not going to say that I don't often want those kinds of foods, but now I can enjoy the good stuff on a regular basis!

I find after a weekend of being away and (usually) indugling in foods I wouldn't eat all the time i.e. lots of cheeses and chocolate I crave "plain" foods like crazy. All I wanted after getting home from Thredbo last weekend (and all I could think about having driving home) was a huge plate of steamed veggies with a little bit of grilled fish!
It was the best tasting meal ever when I finally got it lol.
I get excited every morning when it's time for my boring oatmeal with cinnamon and splenda! I never get tired of it.
Yeah, my tastes are really starting to change. Strawberries and mandarin oranges (the "Cuties", not the canned) taste amazing to me, and I used to HATE salads...now I have them at least 3 nights a week! I still like the taste of bad foods though, unfortunately. I am hoping that will change, too.
