No issues these past two weeks with cravings. The solid meals are really doing the job nicely, especially having two each day this week. I find that broccoli is far more satiating than salad, even though I like alternating the vegetables. Luckily I stocked up on broccoli yesterday. I’m almost out of chicken breasts, so I need to make my way to the chicken factory and pick up my usual 5kg box.
Tonight at work, a co-worker had two fresh pizzas, for some reason, sitting at his desk. He offered them to me if I was interested, but I politely declined. It looked amazing (although not as irresistible as before), but I knew that deep down I wouldn’t eat it. I don’t know if it’s because my willpower is stronger, or whether I’ve just broken my old habits, or whether I’ve psychologically crossed the point of no return for this diet. Maybe it’s all of the above. Maybe I’ve tasted the spoils of my efforts and now enjoy the deeper and lasting feeling of achievement more than the short-lived pleasure of junk food. Or maybe I’m just delusional.
