I'm such a skeptic, that I still won't say that Sensa is changing anything. So, I'm just reporting events that have happened since starting Sensa, and over time, we'll all be able to see whether it is working or not.
I guess I'm still in that optimistic phase, though, so I'm noticing the little positive things, and haven't seen any negatives (I can't say that I've overeaten even once, and I've really cut down on eating when not hungry)
Yesterday afternoon, I stood on the precipice of a binge episode. I had my face in the freezer, ready to pull out an ice cream sandwich, even though I wasn't hungry, had just finished lunch and a popsicle for dessert. I know how it goes...the ice cream sandwich (that I'm not eating to satisfy physical hunger, but some other kind of hunger) doesn't quite satisfy me, so I reach for another, and then something else, and then I think "no, wait, maybe it's not sweet I'm craving, but salty" so then I open a bag of chips or peanuts, and before I know it, I'm full on into a giant binge episode.
So I stood on that precipice yesterday, and....I closed up the freezer door, telling myself that I wasn't hungry and that eating that ice cream sandwich would only lead to a binge, and I wouldn't be happy after that at all. And it worked!
Now, was this due to Sensa? I'm not sure. It's kind of hard to see how it could be. Was it just that the momentum of losing a few pounds is keeping me focused better? Probably. But, who knows?
