I too had those fears of 'giving up my FOOD'.......well...surprise surprise....
what I've given up....is that I no longer have that insane drive to crawl around and digest everything in my path....I no longer care for most of those things I used to think of, long for, dream and plan about eating....contantly....
I was like a shark that has to swim forward and pass huge volume of food over my 'gills' to live....
well.....re: 'I am so scared that I won't be able to "let go" of eating so much.'.....what happened to me was, not that I 'let go' of EATING, rather, EATING let go of me.....
there are other ways to spend our time, other ways to satisfy our hunger, than tamping those favorites down with a mop handle...
When I realized I could eat to live, rather than live to eat, be a slave to my dementia to stuff ever-more down and swallow, partially chewed, as rapidly as possible, get more before it was all gone, and be planning my NEXT combat insertion to capture moreMoreMORE food....well....
Life is Good. You will relearn eating skills. You will come to recognize that eating to fullness is NOT the same as eating to satiety. OVER eating is what you will loose....not your enjoyment of food....
cheers and good journey....
