Self-Control....so this is what it feels like?

It's amazing. This is Day 10 on SS, and I feel AMAZING! I feel like for ONCE in my life I am in control of SOMETHING. There are hundreds of variables in my life that I have absolutely no control over, but for ONCE...I have control over something. What? I have control over WHAT goes into my mouth, and my body!
I have always felt like food had an overpowering hold on me. I could NOT resist that big slice of chocolate cake, or that big slice of pizza, or that HUGE CHINESE BUFFET. But, 10 days are behind me, and now I can actually say I don't really miss it! I feel like for once, I just might actually REACH that goal weight. I have been having some "free veggies" like mushrooms, and zuchini. I think that has helped a LOT too. I feel like I'm eating something that is good for me, and I'm starting to LOOK forward to eating those veggies. I've NEVER been much of a vegetable person, but they are becoming more appealing EVERYDAY. I can see how they will definitely be a big part of my maintenance, because I'm actually developing a taste for this stuff! If I had been eating this stuff BEFOREHAND, I wouldn't be learning this NOW. Oh Well!
I love being in control!!
