2 Weeks off the White Stuff - and some Revelations

I am finally starting to feel a little lighter. I don't weigh myself, I take note of how my clothes fit.
I have been off caffeine for about 5 days. I realized that I want to try and give up all of my crutches; no caffeine when I am tired or feeling a little blue, no sweets or starchy stuff when I'm stressed, no alcohol to unwind. Perhaps I can lighten up on the cleaning, we'll see.

I want to stand alone, so to speak and see what happens. Will life be okay? I'll let you know. I was shoveling popcorn in even when I wasn't hungry. What's that all about. The action of shoveling something into my mouth to relieve stress. Interesting. Although with the popcorn, I don't feel guilty.

I still salivate when I see delicious foods but I have not been obsessing about my future without them. I've noticed that I am more relaxed. I had to take one of my kids downtown to the doctor (stress) and stayed relaxed while we waited. Normally that drives me crazy. Waiting for doctors.
I am definitely calmer.
