Here’s a weird thing –I have been basically no carbs ( 30 a
day) Since Oct 26th 2015 – and NO grains since that day either. I
have not cheated – gone off this way of eating. So the other morning my husband
had eaten Cheerios – Honey Nut Cheerios and I came to the breakfast table with
my eggs and bacon (can I just say YUMMY??!!)
Anyway As I sat at the table I swear I could smell those
Cheerios right thru the box. My husband
had finished eating already so I didn’t smell his bowl full. Nope I smelled
those little round O’s right thru the waxed paper bag in the closed cardboard
box.
Folks I was jonesing for some Cheerios – some crunchy
cereal… I have walked thru the stores and smelled candy thru the wrappers – no
not like sniffing candy wrappers but seeing a candy wrapper or a food box and
the smell of it comes back to me!
Now I could get all sciency and try and explain the olfactory system and how smells and
memory work but face it we fatties already know about that. What I never
realized is that -just as my body remembers
how to walk up steps( seriously have you ever walked up steps that are smaller
than normal or all the same but one is a bit off? ) It also remembers the
smells of the food I used to love.
I don’t even have to actually smell it to conjure up that
beautiful odor of chocolate bars or Carmel apples.
BUT here is the thing – My body is so much better off
without all that junk. Yes I miss it, but frankly I wouldn’t exchange my Non
scale and scale victories for another bite of anything!!
I have made a list of
Non Scale Victories such as:
- · My Constant Planter fasciitis – gone
- · My inflammation in my knees and body – gone
- · I can walk and breathe at the same time (no seriously!!)
- · The pin pricks of nerves as I am trying to sleep -gone
Just to name a few – But God is good all the time and He
keeps me from these things!!
