I've always had trouble with stress and boredom eating.
I've recently become serious about my weightloss journey and am using the CICO method. I'm still trying to find a scale so I haven't weighed myself, but it's only been since the start of the month so not much has changed how I physically look. But I've started changing things that make me feel better.
I've tried to avoid fries, among other things. I've still had them once or twice, but with less salt and pepper, and I've made a conscious choice to not order them if I can help it. Today, I got takeout. I ordered chicken and rice. Unfortunately, there was a mess up and I got fries instead of rice. It also came with a side salad that I was gonna save for later so I just had that with dinner instead and still ate enough to be full but stay in my calorie limit - walking to and from the restaurant definitely helped with that - but before I would've still saved the salad and just had the fries anyway. But today I didn't!
For someone who doesn't struggle with eating just because food is there and all of the psychological issues that go with that, it doesn't seem like a lot, it's just normal for them. But for someone like me, who does struggle with that, who finishes her plate even if she's full halfway through, who eats whole bags of chips without realizing it, it's a pretty good feeling knowing that I didn't have the fries, that I made the choice to have a side salad instead and not because of shame, but because I'm choosing to make healthier choices.
