Health is Wealth - Paradigm shift

 

A strange thing is happening to me.

I don't feel like eating naughty things anymore.

You may remember:

• the dark days of Eatathon I and II
• me eating whole pints of Chunky Monkey in one go
• the cupcake cravings which led to me devising "surprise outings" with Fluffy Bear as an excuse to go to specialists cupcake places around the city. 

I even found a new cupcake shop online before it opened in our town, and waited in anticipation for the big day.

That has all changed.

I don't crave sweet things anymore and I am just not as hungry as I used to be.

I actually went into a donut shop this week and all I bought was coffee!

That may sound like nothing to you but, for me, it's a minor miracle.

It's not that I have more discipline.  Something inside me has shifted.

• I looked at all the donuts in the glass display case and I didn't feel like having one.
• At my usual coffee shop, I don't stare longingly at the chocolate bundt cake anymore.
• When I go out to eat, I often genuinely feel like having a salad.
• I took three chocolate biscuits (cookies) with me to the living room with my cup of tea and only ate one
• I am not drinking half as much wine as I used to.
• I have chocolate frozen yoghurt in the fridge and it has been there for more than a week.

Something, somewhere, has been realigned.

And I really like it this way.
