I have always struggled with self-restraint when it comes to food.
I like foods full of fat and sugar!
I have done particularly badly the past few weeks so last week I decided to count calories. Tuesday I did fine - kept under 2000, but then Wednesday I did well all day then fancied a Milky Way, bought a pack of 6, ate them all and then later secretly ate 2 McDonalds burgers and fries before my husband got home!
I'd really like to gain more control over my diet but I feel like I have one bad day and then give up and write myself off.
Also I think I use food that is bad for me to cheer myself up. If I'm a bit bored or feel like the next exciting thing happening in my life is not for a while I will often eat pizza, chocolate, sweets or biscuits to bring excitement to my day!
Has anyone got any tips for staying on track? Has anyone else ever eaten in secret? Does anyone have any info on using food to cure boredom and bring excitement to your life (which is obviously not a healthy relationship with food)?
I'm not too overweight at size 12, I always say I'm a fat person trapped inside a thinner persons body, but I'm worried I am furring my arteries to within a millimetre of their life and I'll die young (if there's still time for that - I'm 30) for filling my body with so much crap!
