Sugar cravings went quiet but the 3 p.m. slump didn't

Anybody else have the sweet tooth pack up and move out, while that afternoon dragging feeling just stayed put? I'm about six weeks in, and the strangest part is I walked right past the marked-down Easter candy at our little IGA and felt nothing.

Grabbed my coffee creamer and headed to the register like it was a normal Tuesday. My husband keeps a sleeve of oatmeal creme pies in the truck and I haven't touched a single one, which back in January would've been a genuine miracle.

But here's what I can't figure out. Around 3 p.m. at the pharmacy counter I still get that foggy, want-something-now feeling. It just isn't sugar anymore.

I tried a cheese stick and a big glass of water and it helped a little. So now I'm sitting here wondering what my body is actually asking for. Protein? A lap around the block? A nap I can't take?

Insurance moved my refill to a 90-day and the tech told me to call ahead next time, so I'm still learning the rhythm of all this. Mostly I'm just curious whether the craving swap-out happened for anyone else, or if it's only me noticing the quiet.
