In control

Over the past week I've been attempting to eat smaller portions of food at meals and to cut out snacking in between. During this time I've made a discovery.

This is going to sound completely ridiculous, but all this time (my entire adult life) I think I've been mistaking not-being-full for being hungry.

Wow.

Just, wow.

I've known for years that I've had food addiction problems and problems with emotional eating. But this revelation has just blown me away.

I've spent the week trying to enjoy the feeling of not being full.

This must sound so ridiculous to other people.

I'm feeling very in control of myself at the moment. I'm managing to eat healthfully and to control my appetite. I'm very focused on my goals at the moment.
