So far so good. It's interesting, now that I have realized that sweets and white flour are not the optimal food for me, that they are no longer an option, it has not been hard to give up. I do get sad at the thought of not having my key lime pie or chocolate chip cookies...I have also not missed the alcohol. It is nice to wake up on a weekend morning fresh and ready to go. My husband and I can still sit in front of the fire and have tea and conversation.
When I think about the long term, it seems daunting to give up all of the treats that I love but one day at a time is not so bad. As long as I am satisfied with other foods I don't get the cravings. Also, now that I've realized that I am a stress eater, the problem seems to have almost gone away. I have noticed that I might shovel some popcorn in my mouth when I get stressed but that's not so bad. Also, I acknowledge, "I'm stressed" I need to shove something in my mouth, whereas before I had no idea what was going on.
What I am saying is that when you've told yourself you no longer have a choice in the matter, you can move on. When you vacillate that is when things can happen
