Started my first dose today. So far today all I’ve had is an 80cal bag of popcorn and three bites of yogurt. I’m not thinking about food.

I opened the yogurt because I knew I needed to eat something, took a few bites, then got distracted on my phone and legit almost knocked it off the couch because I forgot it was sitting there. That has never happened to me. Normally if I stop eating something mid-way it’s because I didn’t like it. I used to read about food noise and think it was just chatter or thoughts about food, but for me, food noise was food being my main “event” or source of entertainment, and now it’s not.

I can tell I could eat a few bites of Chipotle right now if I wanted, but the idea of finishing a whole bowl doesn’t even register the way it used to.

I’m kinda emotional right now to be honest. Now I actually have to plan to eat food instead of just letting my cravings guide my entire day.

Picture for attention.

every time I catch a whiff of gas, I dutifully leave my gas stove, gas oven, and the building’s gas drying machine behind to go sniff-test my neighbors’ houses first
