That's right, I survived the second day of the taste bud reset. To be fair, I'm doing an extra day of it just to keep on track with Jussi, who started a day later than me. He started on our agreed upon date, I just cheated and started a day early, partially because I knew that I was going to need some clues to help me grocery shop, and arrange the program for him.
So, I am following the program to the letter - to the point of weighing out and measuring all of my food. I am not doing quite the same for him - his fruits and veggies are not as portion controlled because he does physical work all day and the extra nutrition will be good for him. I am showing him how to portion control the protein and starches though.
So today went better than yesterday - I packed softer foods in my lunch which made chewing them quicker and thus I was able to finish my lunch today. I struggle this morning with the cottage cheese - it turns out I like it no better than I did last time I tried to lose weight. And, unlike last time when I was munching on the stuff around lunch time, at 4:30 in the morning, the texture really gets to me.
In case you couldn't tell, I have texture issues. I don't like wet mushy thick foods. Like yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, oatmeal. I have committed to trying the foods I don't think I like and even to giving them a bunch of tastes over time to see if I can teach myself to like them, or at least tolerate them. I can't make any promises however.
I am loving how pretty my meals look - so many colours.
My biggest struggle is two-fold. The no snacking, and my personally imposed added sugar detox. Oh, I'm allowed added sugars, but I am choosing not to have them because they are a trigger food for me, and right now, that means I'm craving my usual after dinner snack - something sweet, most likely baked like cake. That's my biggest problem right now, and that I know I can overcome, since I have done it before,
