So I am getting back on the diet wagon after having fallen off for some time. For about 3 day before yesterday, I ate super clean. Made great salads at home. Ate my daily servings of veggies and proteins. Ate minimally processed foods and didn’t eat out once. Those few days I felt great; my stomach was flatter, I was able to go to the bathroom normally (tmi, sorry), I felt satisfied, and wasn’t craving bad foods too much. Then yesterday I really wanted chick fil a. The state where I live has issued a shelter in place mandate starting tonight and I just wanted one last chicken sandwich before it was frowned upon to leave the house. I didn’t have the fries or drink to make sure I was within my calorie goal for the day. It was okay but I didn’t feel satisfied after. The idea of it was much better in my head and my homemade food was definitely better. And today I feel like crap. I’m tired, somewhat depressed, can’t go to the bathroom (sorry, again) etc. however, I am freaking CRAVING bad foods. I want pizza and Panda Express and ice cream and cookies. And even though I ate clean and have my protein and veggies, I’m not satisfied. I am proud of myself and have not indulged in my cravings (except 2 oreos which fit in my calorie limit). But why do I still crave these things when I know they just make me feel horrible? When I know I won’t be satisfied? What addictive products are added so that we keep coming back for more? Why do these foods make my stomach a bottomless pit? I just want to stop being addicted to such bad crap!
