So, my progress continues... I don't have a lot to report, as there have not been many huge noticable changes recently. I am still continuing to stick to my diabetes eating plan with amazing ease, and I have noticed that I am eating smaller portions without meaning to.
I have also noticed that I seem to be thinking about food a LOT less, and have been eating because I know I need to rather than because I just want to. There are a lot of days when I end up eating a lot less than intended because I am just not hungry enough to want to spend the time cooking something- though in all fairness, this COULD be attributed more to my innate laziness than to the sub!
Something funny happened just a few minutes ago, which is what prompted me to write a post today. I just got back from erranding, and I was having a major craving for something sweet- and I mean the type of sweet craving that not too long ago would prompt me to eat a whole box of donuts- and I sat down by the computer with my snack and began eating it, reveling in the deliciousness, my sweet craving happily satisfied... and guess what my snack of choice was? A medium sized bowl of freshly washed strawberries, nothing added to them. How funny is that? Eating healthier has become so automatic to me it no longer seems like a big deal, until I notice something like this and compare it to my mindset only a month ago. Crazy!
