I'm never going to be satisfied with even one cookie or one small bag of chips, so why have them in the first place?
I had a bit of an epiphany today– I've always been a volume eater, and had a lot of problems with binging in the past. I still struggle with portion size more than anything, to the point where I'd rather eat a lot of something mediocre than eat a little of something good. Whatever I eat, I always want more.
Today I was debating getting a cookie as a snack at work, when it just dawned on me– all I'm going to do after I finish it is be pissed off at myself while simultaneously wanting another one. One cookie is not going to satisfy me, it never has. Even if I'm not hungry after I eat it, I always want more. So since I'll just be back to the position I'm in now, of wanting a cookie, and thinking about a cookie... why get it in the first place?
This probably isn't a healthy outlook, but it's something I recognize that I struggle with, and I think it will help me in the future. If I'm always going to be in a state of wanting more food, then why eat the bad things at all? I need to just accept that I'm going to be unsatisfied with the portions that I'm eating, since even small portions of cheat foods won't do it for me.
