I'm a rather simple minded person. If there's food anywhere around me, I'll automatically eat it. See food, eat food.
So to combat my simple-mindedness about food, I have imposed a new rule on myself: I will have no food at home. If I need something to eat, I will walk to the grocery store a few blocks away and get just enough food for my immediate needs. I will not stock up on food, look for reasons to buy more than I need such as coupons or sales, or accept food from pushy friends and neighbors.
I used to stock up on food like the end of the world was coming soon. It's easy to believe it is just by turning on a radio or television and watching all the news and movies. Their focus is on disaster, accidents, mayhem, and all that. I forgive myself for stocking up on food at one time with the fear that doomsday was near. Living in fear of the world's end and stocking up on food supplies for disaster is not for me - not anymore. I'll just have to risk being caught without food if something dire occurs.
Has anyone else had to physically restrict their access to food in order to stay with their weight loss diet?

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

i even think as i am eating why???
so i try to just keep healthy food in the house so the bad stuff does not tempt me..
I had to learn what to buy n not buy. yep I had to learn how to shop. I had to learn how to cook. I had to learn the right portion size for me. I also learnt to keep small zip lock top bags of fruits vegs home made trail mix available 24/7 for my go to grab foods.
useing combo of veg bags, I can put together a salad faster than it take to open a bag of chips pour chips n bowl.
I know that I can lose 3 to 5 lbs a night. I also know that doing so my body will go into starve mode. If we lose too fast/to much to soon, more than likely we will binge, n body will feed off muscal not fat, n we gain lose regain which mess with our feelings/emotions that is dieting. Dieting is liken to being on a rollor coaster w no end. I had to learn that too.
At times, to re jump bk on track, r get un stuck, I will temporary diet.
Other than liminate Grease white flour
limit strach carbs salt
watchful of sugar
will healthy eatting doesn't liminate foods but we do half to learn n have healthy portions.
I set mini goals. I set goal for the wk at hand. if I don't achive part of it, I just roll that part over on to next wk goal.I do not make goals to high. At beging of my journey I did my happy dance at 1 lb lost at a time.Remember I could have lost weight fast but I srived for a plan that I would like to use for the rest of my life. I enjoy food I refuse to ride the coaster n take diet aids...
This is what I say about myself: I eat to live I don't live to eat.
