The Biggest Loss Is Time

So, here I am, six days of eating "real" food and I have noticed some big changes. One, I have a next to nothing appetite. Two, I don't miss food, I miss eating. Here's what I mean, whenever I have lunch by myself, I like to read. I almost have to read. I make sure I have my current book with me before walking in to a restaurant. I eat very slowly, even if I;m not reading, and relax and enjoy the time. Now, I don't need time. I can eat my lunch in two minutes, and as part of the eating change, you can't drink with or up to an hour after you eat solid foods. So wht took 20 minutes now takes two. That's why I am missing the physical action of eating.

I don't feel hungry though, I often feel very full, even after just sipping on water. My protein shake/drinks make me very full. Even now when I can eat more, I find myself not wanting anything to eat and have to be reminded it's time to eat. That's never happened before!
