What a feeling!

Even though this is only my third blog post, it is actually the 32nd day of my new
SENSAtional life. Oh, now I feel like I've cheated you! Let me catch you up.

I started Sensa on July 1st. I got the package a few days before and had to control
myself from trying it right away. It's always like that with a new diet plan. I
jump in with both feet. Remove bad food from the house, prepare the
calorie/carb/etc counting notebook, read the plan thoroughly, and warn my loved
ones. I look myself in the mirror and say "it's really going to work this time!"

When I finally did start, though, I had a lot of questions. How much should I sprinkle? Is this tiny little container REALLY going to last all month? Should I let my daughter taste it (she keeps begging)?

But most importantly, how can this possibly work?!? I am still eating the good
stuff. And it pretty much tastes the same. How can it be working?

If you are fortunate (like me), you will notice the difference right after your
first Sensa-enhanced meal. What is that feeling?! It's like I just ate at the
all-you-can-eat buffet! (You might have to give it a few minutes) How could I
actually be full on such a previously tiny amount of food?

Well, I have a theory. I think that over the years I trained my brain to stay out
of my stomach. Seriously! I think with all the various trials and tribulations
that life puts us through, I think I convinced my brain to allow me that one
outlet...that one free pass. Do what you may with my heart, my emotions, and the
rest of my body! Make me fall in and out of love, make me deliriously happy and
crushingly sad, make me love and hate my job, make me feel smart and make me feel
stupid. But always, ALWAYS leave the stomach out of it! If I am happy and with my
friends, I want to eat fun fried appetizers and drink sugary alcoholic concoctions!
If I am sad and lonely, I want to feel the warmth of a big platter of chicken and
dumplings or the cool, sweet surrender of a big bowl of ice cream! Food is my
refuge! Don't tell me when I am full...I am full when my emotions are under
control!

But just when you think they are, you start to think about everything you ate and
you become even MORE unsatified. It's a cruel and vicious cycle and it needs to
stop! But how? It's all I know anymore! It works (sort of)...it gets me through
life. But that's just not good enough.

And if you try to change it, your body (which is very adaptable, but can't do it
quickly), fights you. You get dizzy and weak. You get even more depressed. You
become miserable to the ones you love. Then, inevitably, you cheat. And then you
feel guilty. Vicious, vicious cycle.

But then I tried Sensa!!!! The first time I tried it, I sprinkled it over my food and completely ate exactly what I would have. After about 15 minutes, I almost felt SICK I was so full! I
literally felt like I had eaten from a buffet, and it was a normal sized (for me) meal!

What an amazing feeling! It's like something was "off" in my brain, and Sensa switched it back "on". Is this how normal-weight people feel?

Since then I have been gently reducing the portions (I don't want to feel that sick
again). And not missing it AT ALL. Honestly! It's amazing!

And I just did my one month weigh-in...I lost 6 pounds this first month. Oh, yeah.
It's going to work this time. :-))
