food freedom

I love this post that was on Facebook today on Whole30:

From Melissa Hartwig, co-creator of the Whole30
The term so many people use to describe their Whole30 results is “food freedom.” This is what food freedom means to me:
Going out to dinner, deciding I’d love some dessert, looking at the menu, and passing when nothing looks incredibly delicious to me—even though I told myself I could have something....
Ordering dessert, taking a few bites, savoring every one, then setting it aside because I just don’t want any more—even though it’s sitting right in front of me.

Walking out of a long Sunday brunch feeling just as energetic as I did walking in, because pancakes are never, ever, ever worth it anymore for me.
Craving things like sushi, blueberries, and hot tea instead of French fries, candy, and wine.
Having sweets in the house (I have a variety of dark chocolate bars sitting in my pantry) and not having to wrestle with temptation every single night. I actually haven’t touched them in weeks.
Realizing if I decide to have some, I really CAN be satisfied with just a square or two. Yes, I am now that annoying person.
Knowing if I ever fall off track (hello, stress), I have a structured plan guaranteed to get me back on track quickly and effectively. Thank you, ‪#‎Whole30‬.
What does achieving Whole30 “food freedom” mean to you? I want to hear your thoughts. -Mxx

PREACH!!!!
Love love love it. Can't wait for Monday!!!!
