I bought a Magic Bullet yesterday and used it for the first time this morning for my Protein drink! I did the normal scoop of protein poweder, 1 cup skim milk and then added in a banana. Oh my goodness! There are no chunks at all so I can drink it and it tastes delicious! So much better than just the protein and milk by itself! I would recommend purchasing one if you haven't already! I live in Iowa and purchased it at costco for $35.00! I couldn't resist!

Secondly...

I find that in the evenings I am not hungry as much as I mentally crave food. All kinds of food. Good food, bad food, it doesn't matter. I think I'm going through with-drawls. I can't eat whatever I want, when I want and at the amount I want. Part of me realizes and is quite glad I can't because those actions are what got me in to this mess in the first place so many years ago, and the other part of me thinks about how long my stomach has been there for me. Always able to swallow my feelings. Never turned away from me or told me no or judged me when I couldn't control the things going on around me. It is definitely a wake up call for my stomach and brain with the hopes to finally unite in the right direction!

Thanks for the tip! I burnt my "blender" up during my pureed phase!! I'm thinking about replacing it with a Magic Bullet now.

Congrats on your progress!! Keep up the great work recoginizing your triggers. That is key!

I bought a majic bullet for 99 dollars at Macy's. .. Wow what a bargain $35 ..

Yes I had the same realization that eating has changed for me. More aware of head vs emotional hunger....my stomach is now working in my favor. I had not had the "full" feeling for years..so matter how much is the. Such a nice feeling. I now have a good relationship between my head and my stomach. I listen to my stomach when I eat and stop eating when I feel my stomach when it is time to stop.
