Anyone else feeling like they waste food now?

Didn't realize just how much mental space food used to take up until it stopped. And filling up fast? Genuinely great feeling! Kind of sad that meals don't bring the same joy they used to, but I get why.

The quiet in my head is honestly the biggest win. Never clocked how much space food thoughts were taking up until they were just gone, that nightly back-and-forth with myself over snacking has completely disappeared. Kind of like a leaky faucet finally getting fixed, the silence afterward is striking. My urge to drink faded away too, caught me off guard, and my joints don't feel as inflamed anymore, mornings don't start with that swollen, achy feeling either. Sometimes I do miss savoring a meal the old way, but it beats that endless mental tug-of-war over every food decision. Strangest part is the guilt that used to follow overeating just isn't there anymore, feels like something's been lifted off me. Crazy how far-reaching this stuff is beyond just curbing hunger.
