That sounds a great start.
I was aware last week how good I felt. I didn't eat quite so well over the weekend, or at least, i did still eat more veg and fruit than I would have done but I added in some rubbish too, bag of chips and sweets, cake. Again, not as much as I would have normally had but enough to make me feel rubbish in the morning. I quite liked the focus on how the sugar and salt and fatty chips made me feel physically rather than focusing on how I felt emotionally or worried about how it would make me look.
Lots of veg and fruit make me FEEL so good. Like you say, not as sluggish. Lighter, healthier, my digestion is working better. I have IBS and its barely been there. One day, but I think the smoothie with so much oat milk did that.
Even just after a week or so I feel myself much more drawn to eating fruit and vegetables. I normally get a fleeting dopamine hit from eating crap food. But something has changed in my brain. I am actively looking forward to my avocado and tomato, my soup, my celery and homemade houmous. My yoghurt and fruit. I am interested in how I can add veg to meals. Pasta? As well as the sauce being veg heavy, I griddle aubergine slices or courgette slices and put them on top. Delicious. And I can't wait to go to the veg shop today.
A lot of my 'healthy' diets have been about what I can't eat, what I'm limiting. And i wake up feeling a sense of dread at "will i make it through the day without eating this or that or too much"
Whereas now I wake up and am excited about all the delicious possibilities of food ahead.
For anyone who is doing this to turn around disordered eating, i will also say that I spent a good few months at the beginning of the year doing the Hypnotherapy with Paul McKenna to turn around my thinking. It made a massive difference to my thought process. As is this.
