Today at the Hy-Vee, I spent a good 5 minutes staring at this: A WALL OF CANDY. My camera couldn't even capture all of it, only half. I suppose this is meant to be to prepare us for Halloween? TWO MONTHS FROM NOW?
So, as I was standing there staring at this, smelling the plastic chocolatey smell, I thought, this is not about willpower. If it was, I would have started at one end and mowed my way through. But, I didn't want it. Any of it.
So, here is the truth. The only way I can understand this is that my biology is changing. I felt no desire, no craving, no interest in this. In addition to the epic wall of sugar, I noticed that the bakery smelled delicious, that the pizza that they were serving as samples looked good, but I didn't feel like I wanted to have it.
I can't even begin to tell you what a huge change this is for me. Normally, I would say I have "no willpower." But when the sugar is out of your system, it goes way beyond willpower. I feel able to make better decisions, decisions that are in the best interest of my body.
I have never, ever felt this way on ANY of the 100, 000, 000, 001 different attempts to eat healthy. Now that is something!
