Last night was an eye opener

On July 4th, I decided to have 2 slices of pizza, 4 fried raviolis, and 1 loaded potato skin with sour cream, instead of the usual grilled meat. I have come to realize that foods that I once loved and craved are not as good anymore and they are not easy on my stomach. I still have a craving for certain things but once I get them and have a bite or two, I notice that the taste that I was once use too and loved is no longer pleasing to my palate. I can say that I was actually disgusted with myself after eating that stuff. I have been doing a great job and my clothes are even getting loose. I really don't want to backtrack and start eating the things that I use to eat before. This journey that I am on is not going to be easy and I know that no one said that it would be easy, but there are those times that I get a craving and I will eat whatever I am craving and regret it and beat myself up about it. I just need to do better.

I did the samething. And it continued yesterday. I feel like crap. Bloated and sluggish. Did great for two weeks and then after one day fell apart and now its hard to get back to low carb. My bodyblikes low carb but pizza and stuff taste so good hahaha. Anyway i know what you mean. Good luck.

What if you had stooped after thoroughly enjoying one fried ravioli, one piece of pizza, and part of the loaded potato skin? I think that the key in your post is how those things did not taste good to you after a few bites but you kept eating them. Give yourself permission to not join the clean plate club when something is not giving you either pleasure or quality nutrition. Something that is a true sensual delight is worth working into your eating plan, but something that becomes a drag on your taste buds and your gut after a few bites is more of a punishment than an indulgence. Here are a couple of questions for you to think about: First, did you mean to punish yourself and why? Second, is there some aspect of the cravings for these foods that you can satisfy with foods that work better for you?

I have been noticing the same thing. Foods that I used to binge on no longer taste as good as they once did. I think in certain situation I still eat them more because I have an emotional attachment to them then because I want them. However, I am taking it as a good sign that those foods don't taste good anymore. Maybe that can be a source of motivation instead of revulsion.

Ha ha i've myself have been there and back many times, for some reason my mind just goes blank and I go into uncontrolled robot eating.
Why do we do this to ourselves??
Hopefully tracking and with help of hubby, we both can do this journey y o weight loss.
