    HI everyone!! I didn't realize this thread was still active! Nice to meet you all!

    I've felt really good the past few days cutting out a lot of the junk I used to eat and focusing on better choices! And surprise SURPRISE I haven't been nearly as hungry as I usually am. That is really amazing to me. I used to feel like I was going to die if I didn't stuff myself with junk and fries and soda. I haven't had soda in several days and this is amazing to be as I was drinking 2-3 a day. I haven't even craved soda. Or a bite fast food, except for a small frosty when I wanted a little treat.

    Now, this isn't my first diet but this is my first time where I have tracked carbs and made an effort to cut back on them. And, for me, it has made HUGE differences in how I feel and my cravings have DRASTICALLY reduced. I know I'm still new at this and I am definitely guarded, but for the first time I feel hopeful. For me to be able to drive past McDonalds and not even get a twitch to drive through is shocking. For me not to beg my husband to bring home a large fountain Mountain Dew is even more shocking. I haven't even been tempted to binge since I started. That's HUGE.

    Is it the lack of carbs and processed junk that's making me feel more satiated? I absolutely think so. Time will tell.
