    Greek yogurt
    raw almonds (unsalted)
    trying new food styles -like Indian foods
    spicy foods taste better now
    I like that since stopping Diet Coke I really taste things.
    I also adore the number on the scales and the old jeans that I saved from two sizes ago. They fit!

    As sick as this sounds, the feeling of hunger. After stuffing myself for years, forgot what it felt like to really be hungry. Nothing like pounding a 2,000 calorie meal after not eating for long periods of time.

    On the positive side, I started loving porridge, mango, low fat dairy and protein filled vegetarian foods after I started watching my calories.

    On the negative side, I have developed a sweet tooth I never had before - I used to be able to take or leave chocolate, and now I like it. Also, my cheesecake longings have intensified.

    Eating breakfast - I actually wake up hungry for my protein shake. Or look forward to my 100% whole wheat toast with natural (sugar free) peanut butter on Fridays.

    Squash - used to hate the acorn and butternut Mom used to make. Turns out those (and spaghetti) are the only ones I don't like. Delicata is my favorite, but hard to find. Buttercup is a runner up.

    Spinach!

    I could put it in ANYTHING. It's pretty much a staple in my diet, because I can add so much of it without dramatically increasing the calories and fat in my meal!

    It's also really good if you don't want a giant meal, I just cook up a piece of chicken and put it in a bed of spinach, and I'm good to go :)

    Bananas! I used to hate them but now I enjoy them and have them nearly everyday. Pineapple, figs, dates, carrots, iceberg lettuce, and red bell peppers too.

    Me. I have such a positive self image now. i've learned to love me :)

    Diet wise.

    I love veggies and salad and fruit. They used to go bad in my fridge. They would go moldy and get thrown out. Now I "overeat" them. I love apples, peanut butter,and rice cakes too. Oatmeal, cream of wheat and cheerios, I have one of those Every morning.

    rice cake with almond butter
    almond milk
    my discipline with working out
    substituting olive oil occasionally with water when cooking
    pyrex containers for immediately storing leftovers!
    chard and collard greens - one of these leaves with hummus as a roll up and I am good!
    almond cashew kind bars with 150 calories (the lowest cals I have seen)

    and my occasional glass or two of wine and piece of 88% dar chocolate

    Greek yogurt. I used to cringe at the sight of any yogurt and now I really dig the greek.

    I also love the fact that I crave something terrible (like pizza or poutine fries) yet I'm able to resist the urge- most of the time! When I find myself craving the same thing for days or weeks on end.. I usually give in for a cheat day.. and it makes it THAT much better!

    I have developed a sweet tooth after never liking chocolate or dessert very much but I'm glad to see that I am not the only one!

    How easy this has been! Simply by having pretty much the same things, but now moderated, logged, and lots of exercise i enjoy...it's been a breeze! No rabbit food, no "cant have this, cant have that", i feel like "Why didn't i do this sooner?!" :D
