This victory is a double edged sword

(Pan Dulce) #1

A friend posted some lovely pictures of Ethiopian food this morning and…I didn’t want any! I am just. not. hungry. :open_mouth:

This is a victory! That said, this is also kind of sad.

I LOVE food - pictures of food, recipe books, blogs, cooking food, shows about food… I love that tingle of longing and that spark of inspiration about what to make/where to go. But now, I’m just not as interested. I’m sated, I suppose. I consume (haha) keto food media, but it is with more of a detached interest, and less of that uncontrollable urge to make+consume allTheThings.

Well worth it, but also a little wistful. Maybe it’s time for another hobby. :laughing:

I used to think of eating food as a hobby but that was until I started gaining weight from what I was eating (everything). I now understand what I thought was love was simply addiction.

It took some getting used to, but I am quite happy with how my desire to eat is not as compelled by what I see and smell. This is how it is supposed to be.

Ethiopian still makes my mouth water but I getcha.

True, it is pretty fabulous. And to be fair (to myself, at least) I did also spend some time watching Sugarless Crystals keto recipe and review videos on YouTube, so perhaps my food fancy has become something different rather than disappeared altogether. :smile:

My keto hell: Wanting to eat bacon, but not being hungry! :grin:
