NSV but i also did something stupid
so the non scale victory is that a container of chapman's ice cream lasted an entire week in my house. seriously, just as recently as last fall, i would always eat the entire container in either one night or two because i couldn't stop myself. the fact that i can have ice cream in the house and not even eat any for a couple of days is pretty big for me. like, that was a binge food and now it isn't.
but now onto the stupid part. i had a long day at work yesterday (it's a physical job) and when i got home i was like 'you know what? i'm going to give myself a cheat day and eat a bunch of stuff tonight.' i ate a bowl of ice cream (the last of it), four date squares and a huge sandwich and really didn't even enjoy it. even while i was eating i just thought 'why am i not enjoying this?' but kept eating anyway, almost forcing myself. in a way, this is also a bit of a victory because i had a bowl of chips lined up to eat next, had one or two then decided i should just go to bed.
so, pretty dumb to eat a bunch of food as a reward for a hard work day and not enjoy it, but at least i didn't do as much damage as i could have. also, kind of good that i'm not being so restrictive with my eating that a binge is necessary.
