35 Day Excorcism Was Successful!!!

The food whisperer has succeeded. My craving for the white stuff has disappeared. My body has finally given up the ghost of unhealthy carb cravings! I noticed yesterday that I was not really hungry. I ate my 3 squares with a couple of snacks. I only ate when I was hungry. I noticed I just felt hungry, not that desperate-search-the-pantry-I can't-get-satisfied hunger. Today I felt the same way. I went into The Corner Bakery, one of my nemesises, and got a salad, perused all of the sweet treats and did not salivate. I was hungry for the salad and nothing else.

Normally on Thursdays, I bring a big lunch to my class and eat it around 11 a.m. I am starving at that time. Today I had a small bag of carrots with hummus and some popcorn and that held me over until 1:30 when I had my salad.

I am also feeling thinner. My first thought was, now I can treat myself. Then I remembered this is a life change for me, not a diet. There is no going off and rewarding myself with food. I could reward myself with a nice piece of clothing...

I don't know if this is permanent but I am enjoying it. Perhaps its hormones or a monthly thing but we'll see!
