Amie, I couldn't agree with you more.

That was one totally unexpected side effect for me in this WOL. Suddenly I wasn't thinking about food all the time. I wasn't thinking about food hardly at all.

On all of those low-calorie low-fat diets I've done in the past, it was a complete obsession with food. How much, when can I have this..I'm so hungry, I'll eat an apple so I can have this or that later. Hunger can make your mind totally preoccupied with thoughts of nothing but eating. It made me completely miserable.

Now I think of food as something that I need for fuel. I am totally happy and at peace with this WOL and even if the weight comes off very very slowly, I'll still be thrilled with it. Nothing beats feeling this good.
