I agree pretty much with everything written here. That's hit it on the nose.
Right now I'm in the annoying quandry where, if there's food that I like that I can prepare easily in the house, I'll eat too much of it too often. If there's no easy-to-prepare food in the house, I'll as often as not just go out to eat instead, since I don't feel like wasting time (as that's what cooking feels to me) making a food that I like okay. This not only defeats the purpose, but hurts the wallet.
As for the above commenter, who posted about willpower: Willpower is a skill. It must be practiced. Taking someone who doesn't have much willpower, and sending them against willpower-bane addictions? Only gonna breed failure, for the most part.
And failure just makes me, at least, want some comfort food to feel better.
Would you mind if I spread this around, Zia? I know some folks who'd really like to read it.
