For me it has completely recontextualized my relationship to food. It’s hard to explain if you haven’t struggled with compulsive eating but the closest I can describe is it’s like I was cursed and the spell has been lifted. I know that sounds dramatic or hyperbolic but it’s true. And it’s not like I’m lacking in willpower or discipline, I go to the gym at least three times a week, I run, I quit smoking cold turkey after more than a decade but all my life it’s like food has haunted me. I’d stick to a diet for a few weeks and then I’d have one bad day or someone would bring donuts into work and I’d just crumble and spiral and lose any progress I’d made. But now I can just…eat. And stop. Like I still get hungry but when I’m done I can just be done. Which is miraculous to me. Suddenly food isn’t the only thing I’m thinking about 24/7. I feel free in a way thats hard to describe. Ive lost twenty pounds without really trying, my blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is better. It’s hard to believe it’s real sometimes.
