Interesting diet observation that may have no connection...

Thanks for checking in.

I realized the other day that my appetite has drastically increased!  It seems as though nothing fills me up.  Then I am overstuffed and not feeling so well.  I did not get this feeling during Aqua, in fact, I got the opposite feeling from Baker-Miller Pink where I encountered appetite suppression.  So, either Magenta has the ability to increase appetite, my body is compensating for the suppression it felt a few weeks ago, or I am somehow compensating my emotional stresses from the last week through the use and abuse of food. I'd like to think it's related to the Magenta lenses as I'd like to believe that I have been very mindful of my diet over the course of this project (at least).  I just know that during the Baker-Miller Pink week I ate very little heavy foods and seemed drawn to mostly fruits and salads.  Don't get me wrong, I am not over doing my intake, I have just noticed the intake has changed from light foods back to heavy foods and the heavy foods potions seem to be higher than I remember eating in the last few months. 

I am interested to see how my diet fluctuates over the course of the next few weeks.  I don't plan on using the lenses as a manipulating crutch, but if there is a natural occurrence that takes place for weight management just by wearing a set of color lenses a few times each day, count me in!  I have been half-assedly trying to break certain habits and develop a new routine for my weight and food intake.  The fruits and salads kick I was on during Baker-Miller Pink was not my idea, it just seemed to be more satisfying in the moment--meats and pastas didn't look good.  Also, I am not wearing the Magenta as often as I wore the other colors due to the intensity that you read about in the last post--that might have something to do with it, too. 

Anyway, I'm headed out to Float On to help out and build my intern hours and gain more experience in the float world.  Just thought I would stop in here before I left and share an observation before the week was up. Last day for the Magenta is...today?  What?!  Geesh! I am a day behind, I thought it was tomorrow.  Tomorrow is my off day and I will be picking a new pair and (hopefully) be providing a summary and comparison along with pictures for the new color.

Take care and be kind to yourself & those around you---not because they deserve it, but because you are a nice person.  wink.
