Pre P90 program I'd grab McDonald's on the way into work. I'd get a McDouble, a Hot N Spicy chicken sandwich, 10 piece chicken nuggets, fries and a coke. I'd scarf it all down and stuff myself in like 10 minutes. I'd feel stuffed for the rest of day but would still eat on my lunch break and maybe after work too. That one meal was nearly 2000 cals, almost all my cals for the day in one sitting.
Today I got a grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo, small fries and diet coke. Total cals, 750.
But more importantly the thought of eating that much food is disgusting to me, I could never do that again. Also, I enjoyed the grilled chicken, the thought of a greasy cheeseburger is becoming repugnant. I might want to eat one every once in awhile, but it just seems so heavy and gross to me right now. Before I could eat one everyday, now id have to force it down.
They say never go shopping when you're hungry 'cause you'll buy more food than you need, I think the same is true when I'd go to a fast food joint, I'd be starving and everything would look good, I wouldn't be able to decide so I'd get one of everything, then I'd feel obligated to eat it and just stuff myself. Not anymore, if I spread out my meals during the day, I'm less likely to feel like I'm "starving" and less likely to go crazy and order one of everything, scarfing down a day's calories in one meal.
