I love how a quarter cup of pureed vegetarian vegetable soup tastes after being on a liquid diet for three weeks -- how the taste of simple foods please and satisfy. I love that I don't spend time fighting my brain so I won't eat -- not being constantly haunted by thoughts of chips and candy. I love that my stomach says, "Enough!" after a small amount of food. I love not being ashamed every time I pick up a fork. I love how wonderfully different I feel about myself because I can finally do something I've fought to do most of my life -- drop some pounds. Thank you Sleevie. You are my new "bestie." And we've only been together for a couple weeks. Just imagine the possibilities.
