Hello Tiffy!

So another interesting discovery tonight. I made a plate of food which consisted of:

Homemade Meatballs (Super lean)
Pasta Sauce
Lots of red peppers, yellow squash and onions
Covered with melted mozzarella (low fat but still good i swear)

It was pretty good, at first, but as I was eating I had that annoying feeling I was telling you about yesterday like my stomach was still screaming I AM STARVING & I am sitting there shoving food down (and telling myself its really good) I do not understand this. My first thought was well I eat garlic toast A LOT like 3-4 times a week with all kinds of different meals. I kept thinking how the meal was really quite good and I can’t imagine why I am still hungry I am eating a decent amount I think. Well it hit me that had there been my coveted garlic toast, I would seriously be having 3-4 pieces of that with this and I would call it a 5 star meal. Not to mention I would walk away so full and wanting to lie down somewhere. I am wondering if carbs are really addictive in some way, it all sounds so crazy though! However after eating for a while, I just didn’t want anymore, though more was plenty available, I was still hungry, not satiated but I was *done*.

What is up with this? I mean, I am sure if I read a book it would tell me all about evil carbs but even though I am trying this diet I don’t want to hear any hype. This diet is merely a trial and I may do something else after this 14 day experiment. I may stay low-carb after my “Phase 1″ period, who knows. My question is what is the deal? I don’t know, it may also mean I am addicted to being “full” and it is not healthy to be literally “full”. It may not have to do with carbs at all, it may have to do with overeating. It also may have to do with the fact I am also going without beer for 2 weeks and that probably added fullness to my stomach as well. It is just weird, but I am feeling really good. I am only 4 days in but I am becoming keenly aware of the signals that my stomach is telling me, lately however, they are saying they are hungry :P. Oh, I am also eating so much more healthy than I have in my life. I bought like 30 dollars of veggies at the store and I am actually eating them this time. Normally I buy a lot, to feel better about my shopping trip, then they rot in the fridge. My body is probably so confused with me right now!

I also have to say even though I look no different than I did 4 days ago I feel ten times lighter and my self image has improved by leaps and bounds. I am just as lazy as ever, yet I feel more attractive doing it. Har har.
