Hunger hasn't been an issue so far. I even went into a grocery store last night. We walked in and right as we enter there is a case full of donuts (one of my favorite foods), and then a big bin of candy - then chips. Now if I were to have a last meal (which I pretty much did a couple of weeks ago) candy would not be on it. Occasionally I eat candy, but I don't like it 1/2 as much as other people in my family. TH keeps a candy drawer at work, though he insists that he is not a big candy eater, but over the last 20 years I have found evidence to the contrary. I have seen this drawer and though not all candy (he has chips and pretzels in it too) mostly candy. But no where have I seen a bigger stash of candy then under D's bed. There is so much candy there at times she could open her own candy store. And don't get me started on T2. She doesn't have the candy in a drawer or under the bed she has flat out in huge containers all through her house.
My grandmom used to have candy out in little dishes and I used to love grabbing a piece and sitting next to her enjoying it. As I grew older I wanted to do that too, so I bought candy dishes filled them with various types of candy and waited for company. But though I don't find candy in my top 20 foods, that doesn't mean I don't like it, so needless to say that candy never made it to the company. Oh that might also have something to do with the fact I never had company either.
It is very interesting that I haven't been having any cravings. I think that it is the shakes. Though they taste horrible, they are completely nutricious and I probably haven't eaten balanced food in a very long time. So maybe this is the secret of dieting. Maybe overeating is the body's way of getting the vitamins and minerals it so desperately needs, and the mind just isn't willing. Maybe they have that saying wrong - maybe it is the flesh is willing but the mind is weak. Or maybe I need another couple of weeks before the cravings hit.
