Some eats from today & yesterday! It's my 3rd day of being free from "artificial" sweeteners. I was SO mentally against this, but I need to experiment and challenge myself. Happy to explain more in the comments if anyone is curious. So far, cravings for sweets have decreased a crazy amount. Keeping foods simple, sticking with beef, butter and mostly egg yolks. It has been satiating and satisfying! Check out my cheap chuck roast steaks 😋 no shame, this girl loves a deal! My food focus has diminished substantially! I used to struggle a lot with overeating and binging, I understand the food noise. I was unstoppable with an insatiable appetite. This way of eating is restrictive, yes, but it's the most freeing I felt. It's worth it to me, I never want to feel the physical and mental anguish and pain of overstuffing myself. It's a narrow road, but the alternative brings short-term satisfaction with long term guilt. It's a choice. It's not perfection. Approach change with kindness, love and gratitude. If you stray away and make a choice that doesn't align with your goals, which we all will, that's ok, it's not the end of the world. Get back on your feet, dust it off, get right back on plan. No need to self sabatoge, you can do this. Observe and try something different or new so you can avoid behaviors that don't align with your goals. Reassess. Remember context. 💜
