I find it a lot easier now Pauline, without really realising I am doing it before I eat something I think am I actually hungry do I really want it, if the answer is yes then I eat it but I find the majority of the time its wanting to eat it for the sake of it, I realised after reading something on another thread earlier, I don't snack between meals anymore ? I was always a picker , the odd biscuit here, packet of crisps there but I don't do that anymore and I hadn't actually realised I had stopped doing it until someone mentioned snacking ?? I still have an evening treat but then not always its strange how your eating habits change on this diet. I have found that I don't live for food anymore, despite having free reign on UP days I find I mostly make healthier choices , I do have more treats on a weekend UP but thats more a phychological thing. Don't get me wrong I still love my food but its not so important to me now IYSWIM ?
