I discovered that I can eat, including 2 birthday celebrations and a holiday where I didn't have access to my normal foods and still lose weight. I didn't log ANYTHING. I listened to my hunger cues and it still worked. Eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm not.
Not logging shifted my focus from thinking about and obsessing over food. I just got on with life, ate low carb for the vast majority of the time and ate when I was hungry. I proved that I can do it. I'm much more relaxed about food and eating.
what an awesome success!!

For me, I discovered that berries, even in super small quantities, are a kryptonite to me. Any time I ate more than 1-2 blueberries or less than a full blackberry or strawberry - I wanted ALL THE BERRIES!!! I got to the point where at least I was pairing them with HWC, but I had far more desserty things during the month than I wanted so as not to let things go bad. I had counted on my fiance to help me, but unless I made him cobbler or some crap I really didn't feel like making, he wasn't overly concerned with eating them. He did eat some strawberry shortcakes (leaded), but I learned my lesson. Trying to avoid life's sweeter things for a time to get back on track.

Thank you guys.
That was a big step for me. After decades of not knowing how to eat for my body and every diet requiring you to be militant over every mouthful it's a huge relief. Not counting anything is so liberating.0
