Sharing some thoughts..

I bought a Magic Bullet yesterday and used it for the first time this morning for my Protein drink! I did the normal scoop of protein poweder, 1 cup skim milk and then added in a banana. Oh my goodness! There are no chunks at all so I can drink it and it tastes delicious! So much better than just the protein and milk by itself! I would recommend purchasing one if you haven't already! I live in Iowa and purchased it at costco for $35.00! I couldn't resist!

Secondly...

I find that in the evenings I am not hungry as much as I mentally crave food. All kinds of food. Good food, bad food, it doesn't matter. I think I'm going through with-drawls. I can't eat whatever I want, when I want and at the amount I want. Part of me realizes and is quite glad I can't because those actions are what got me in to this mess in the first place so many years ago, and the other part of me thinks about how long my stomach has been there for me. Always able to swallow my feelings. Never turned away from me or told me no or judged me when I couldn't control the things going on around me. It is definitely a wake up call for my stomach and brain with the hopes to finally unite in the right direction!

Hi Brookie,

I have difficulties in the evening too. On the nghts I'm home, it is a struggle. About 3 nights a week I go to a Zumba class which helps. I have to stop eating 3 hours before bed or I get bad reflux in the middle of the night. I am actually physically hungry after a Zumba class (I eat dinner at 6:00, then go to class from 7:15 to 8:15) but can't eat anything because of acid it would cause. Then I wake up the next morning starving! I agree, on the non Zumba nights it is nothing but head hunger.
