Hurray! Good to see you all! This site is quite different from NS. Some things are easier and quicker, and others are hard to figure out. But, we'll get there.

One of my many former vices was sugar! Since I started NS, I've stayed 100% on plan...cherishing my nightly cookie, but intentionally avoiding other sweet things! Well today, I was cleaning and chopping veggies and fruit...and I ate my first strawberry in 2 months...it tasted so sweet. It was better than candy. I know not to go overboard. I've been good at watching serving sizes and even bought a food scale. But I was amazed at how much my taste buds have adjusted.

I also find that with my cherished daily cookie...I savor it. I smell it. I take small bites and hold it in my mouth to get the full enjoyment. (Compared with previously, um, easily could and did eat an entire full-size bag of cookies).
