Yeah, I know it's been awhile since I posted. The Holidays have me busy, busy, busy! First up, I have not lost any weight. None. I'm stuck at 254 lbs. Which isn't bad, but annoying. It's not like I'm gaining weight so there is that. Thing is I have a lot going on.
I mean there are the Holidays, which are stressful on their own. I'm on a new mood medication which increases my appetite a little, AND I just went off my Provera. Which I'm super happy about because it was causing all kinds of problems. Because of that I'm looking for my weight loss to pick up again after the New Year. If it doesn't, well I guess I will have to make some changes. No big deal.
Now onto the blog topic.
I have noticed that my tastes have really changed since taking Zepbound. Maybe it's because I don't crave junk-food so I'm better aware of what I like and don't like. I'm not stuffing my face as rapidly as I can. For example, soda. I really don't have the taste for soda like I used to. I would drink a 2 litter to myself a day if I could. The only thing that would stop me is the shame and guilt of actually doing it. I will have one from time to time if I need a pick me up, but really I run to coffee now. In my coffee I only use a little flavor creamer. I don't like a ton of sugar or sweet stuff. I like mine a bit bitter.
Another thing I have fallen out of love with, chips. Okay, I have been all about Red Hots lately, but even then it takes me two weeks to get through a bag. Sometimes even over a month. I don't eat them all the often. Also, hot fries. I used to devour hot fries, now I'm like Meh.
Chocolate is another big one. At one point I could go through a pound of chocolate in three days time. It was nothing for me to eat only chocolate all freaking day. Now I'm like, whatever. Chocolate actually goes bad in my house. I have had to throw away so much of it over the last few months, it's insane. Sweets in general don't get eaten anymore in the house. Mainly because I'm full all the time. I have been snacking a little through, however; I find myself moving more towards nuts and not so much junk-food snacks.
Then there is fast-food. Not a fan!
Honestly, it's been so long since I had fast-food my stomach doesn't do well on it. I eat fast-food and I feel sick now. Because of that I tend to stay away from it. Now if I'm having a really off day I will start craving something greasy and fast, but those times are rare.
Other things I used to gobble down and don't anymore, corn-nuts, mini candy bars, cake, pie, slim jims, sunflower seeds, candy in general, and fried foods. None of which have really peak my fancy.
What I have been craving:
Artichokes, Mexican (because who doesn't), veggies and dip, stir fry, grilled chicken, and fresh fruit. Some of this stuff is hard to get my hands on right now because we are starting winter, but when summer comes I'm all over it.
I don't feel as though not liking those foods anymore is a loss. Instead I see it more as my true tastes coming out without all that food noise from before. All that crap I used to eat was a product of my shitty upbringing, and years of abuse simple trying to survive. Now, I'm becoming who I was meant to be, and I have been feeling like that for awhile. Which is a wonderful feeling!
