Let me tell you that when I had previously yo-yo dieted, I would dream of eating food. I would eat cookies, cakes, ice cream, you name it. All in my dreams. I would wake up feeling guilty, but then realizing it was a dream, didn't feel too bad and went on with trying to diet.
Well last night I had a food eating dream. I was at a breakfast buffet. Lots of pancakes, french toast, hashbrowns... all the yummy items. The funny thing about this dream is... I ate only one sunny side up egg. I was excited to find the egg options and happily took one egg.
I think this proves that band-life is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It really does fundamentally change the way I think about food. Even in my subconscious, I am choosing the right portions and the right foods. It's not a diet, I am just winning the battle over mental dependency on food!
