so it's been over a year since i started out cooking everything i eat from scratch. i've legit had what amounts to a handful of potato chips and maybe like a slice of pizza all year aside from what i've cooked myself. it's worked really well for me because i just can't keep up with the way i used to eat if i have to cook everything. also i've gained some real cooking skills, accumulated some easy recipes, kept a budget and done all the planning and home economics i should have learned to do ten years ago.
i planned halloween is my 'cheat day' for the entire year. made it the only day/night i'd allow myself all sorts of candy. as i was eating my favourite kit kats and coffee crisp, i just kept thinking how my cooking is so much better than them. it's like sugar was their only flavour and it got boring. another thing i noticed was an old feeling of being immobile.
for me, it's an easy trap to fall into when eating a lot and watching stuff on the computer to just not go from that 'activity' to anything else. when i'm actually up and active, i get on top of things. i'll start with laundry, move on to dishes, organize stuff, do some cooking and just keep changing things up. when i'm stuck in eating mode, these activities don't even seem like an option. like, they not only become easier to put aside, it doesn't even compute that there's any activity available besides eating.
habits from depression i guess.
