Changing what I eat has changed how much I want to eat. I still think about food plenty, but when I start the day with a breakfast high in fat and protein, I am not starvingly hungry by 11am the way I am if my breakfast is donuts and cinnamon rolls. Eating small snacks through out the day keeps me from reaching the level of hunger that used to prompt me to gorge myself at lunch or grab 3-4 vendor provided sugar cookies each time I passed through the kitchen in the afternoon. The only part of my mindset that has changed is keeping my eye focused on the goal. The change to my hunger level and how much I think about food has really come about because of the changes in how I eat, not the other way around.
