NSV - Chinese Food doesn't own me!! I WIN.
Guys tifu
I was hungry, my kid was hungry, I'd eaten practically nothing all day so oodles of calories and... I'd just got paid today.
So I open one of those food delivery apps (it's still too cold to go outside) and start looking for something to order. First I was gonna do subway cause so fresh/fit, right?
But then it was showing 500 calories for a damn sandwich and I'm thinking "I could buy so many more things with 500 calories!"
So with pure intentions I start looking for other things to order.
...Not quite sure how, but I ended up with a meal for my kid and like... 5 other meals. For me, obviously.
I decided I wouldn't touch any of it when it arrived.. how dare I do that thing we've all done but I swore I would never do again! Bad me!
eyeroll
Yeah, like I'm not going to eat food when it gets here.
And then the delivery driver is kind of a jerk when he gets here and I'm irritated (and cold cause I had to go outside to get my food!!) and both of those things often make me rage-binge.
And yet.
I got upstairs and calmly put the extra meals into separate meal prep containers.
I dished out my kid's food onto his plate.
I weighed my portions to make sure they lined up with mfp serving sizes so the count would be as close as possible.
And then I ate my food. I ate a wonton appetizer. I ate an order of orange chicken. I ate 1 egg roll. And then I realized I wasn't really hungry at all anymore.
I looked at MFP... the rice on my plate was 150 calories, and I hadn't touched it yet. I could still eat it. The fortune cookie was 26 calories, and i could still eat that.
I took the rice off my diary.
Without it, I'm under goal.
I put it in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer.
It's after 8 pm. I have a fortune cookie for later, if I need it. I'm not hungry. And I controlled what was going to be a huge binge.
I'm so damn proud of me.
