I haven't had a car in three years and grocery shopping was a struggle. I'd get groceries delivered, or I'd take rideshare to the store. I hated taking groceries on the bus and I don't live within walking distance of a store. With this coronavirus I decide I won't be on the bus or in Uber/Lyfts anymore so I decided to suck it up and buy a car three weeks ago. I am starting to realize part of the reason I gained weight was because of my lack of access to food and the anxiety about the perceived scarcity. With my car, there are multiple 24 hr grocery stores within a couple miles. I don't worry about not having something stocked at home because I know I can run out and grab it if I want. I don't stress about if I forgot something in one trip or one delivery because I know I can make a quick 20 min trip to grab it any time.
I also feel so much better about not keeping treats at home because I can go grab them anytime I want. I only realized that I only started buying ice cream to keep in my fridge when I got rid of my previous car. Now I have no desire to have a tub of ice cream at home. If I want something I can go grab a single serving that evening. I'm surprised how much my anxiety and relationship with food has changed with just this one life change! Anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Edit: not sure why I was downvoted...
