04-Weeks Afterwards

04 Weeks Afterwards (125 lbs  56 Kg)

Oh no 125 lbs :-(  To be honest, I’m not surprised, this week I have splurged on my foods. I have over indulged in cravings for not so healthy foods like cheese doodles, ramen, and pizza. I believe my rebellious phase will be over soon. Part of these cravings are due to that ‘special’ girl time and some work stress. These things too will pass.

One thing I’m noticing is that although I’m over indulging, I’m not enjoying it as much as I used to. Even my favorite pizza leaves me thinking that I could have a better tasting food experience at home. I am by no means a professional when it comes to the kitchen I prepare most of my meals in a slow cooker or the toaster oven. So this way about something prepared by someone that has spent considerable time learning its preparation leaves me feeling like I’m extremely picky. How could I possibly prefer a home made salad with ground beef over delicious pizza? This is perplexing to me.

Another thing I noticed is that I’m indifferent to certain cents that used to call my attention. Funnel cakes, pancakes, street cart hot dogs, philly cheesesteaks, chicken nuggets, and many other foods that used to make me hungry simply by their scent now have no effect on me. I begin to think of how eating that will make me feel sluggish, tired, and skew the statistics on my food tracking application.

Its great that I am making healthy choices for myself. At the same time, I do not like that I am becoming highly critical of restaurant food that I used to enjoy or that I cannot go to a fair with friends and enjoy vendor food. Have you experienced something similar? Can you offer any advice?
