Biggest surprise this week on your journey?

Todays check-in thread. What's the one thing getting you through this week?

Honestly the surprise was how much of my week got easier once I stopped planning meals around the shot and just ate what sounded okay that day

idk, the surprise for me was how much cooking smells changed, stuff I used to love now turns my stomach a bit. Weirdly the only thing I can reliably eat this week is cold watermelon

Honestly the food noise going quiet is what did it for me too. I walked past a bakery case last weekend and felt nothing, which never happens

The quiet food noise caught me off guard too, like realizing at 2pm I never thought about lunch. Mine kicked in around my second week and it's still the strangest part of all this

Mine was the silence in my own head, no running commentary about what I'd eat next. That quiet took some getting used to.

Mine hit around week four too, and the strangest part was standing in the grocery aisle realizing nothing was calling my name. I used to plan my whole afternoon around whatever sounded good, and now i just grab what's on the list and go

The quiet brain caught me off guard too, especially around 3pm when I used to go hunting for something crunchy without even noticing.

The food noise going quiet is the part I still notice most, mine fades late in the week too. What surprised me was that the silence felt strange before it felt good.

The quiet brain thing still catches me off guard on a random tuesday. Did your food noise come back at all once you settled into a routine?

The quiet brain thing caught me off guard too. I keep catching myself finishing a thought I would normally have wandered away from halfway through.

tbh the quiet brain is the part I didn't expect either, mine crept in so slowly I only noticed when I stopped planning my whole afternoon around lunch.

The quiet brain snuck up on me too. I only clocked it when a whole morning went by and food hadn't crossed my mind once, which never used to happen.

What got me was the boredom thing too, I stopped wandering to the pantry around day 5 and only just noticed it this week

Honestly the weirdest one for me is how quiet my head is around food now, no constant mental to-do list about what I'm eating next

What got me this week was noticing I now push the plate away mid-meal without thinking about it. Used to be a clean-plate person every single time.

The fork thing got me too, I keep catching myself about to scrape the plate out of pure habit. My odd one is that I now get full mid-sandwich and just set the other half down without a second thought.

What got me this week was packing lunch and actually not finishing it, which never used to happen. Weirdly proud of a half eaten sandwich

honestly, coffee only mornings happened to me too, though I still keep a box of crackers in the desk drawer for the days it doesn't hold

Breakfast disappearing hit me too, though mine was more that food stopped being interesting at all. Now I eat because it's time to, not because I want it.
