Hi all! I'm new here. I recently went on a diet and dropped about 7 kg in total over the last year. However, I'm unable to control myself in certain situations - I almost always overshop and overcook; I'm afraid of certain family members who resent it if I don't eat the food made by them; and because I feel guilty/ anger my family when I dump surplus and leftovers.
It's the eating-to-finish-stuff that is bothering me. For instance, I buy a lot of fruit because my eating plan says so. I do like it but rarely eat it as I end up not craving it. It rots and I have to discard it.
Sometimes I end up eating it even if I'm not hungry or late at night. I also eat when I'm stressed or restless. I don't have a fixed routine as I work from home and that too is affecting my eating. After getting all the housework and cooking done, I have lunch late and and my other productivity - career, interests - gets affected. Then I feel lazy/tired to cook dinner and end up getting takeaway.
This has been happening for the last one month continuously - I am not concerned about lapses once in a while.
Has anyone experienced this and overcome it? Can you give me some tips to get around this? Thank you.
