So, I have a huge sweet tooth.
I’m 6’1 and back up to around 230, I was around 190 at my peak, with about a 20%-ish BMI. Then the pandemic hit, i got lazy, a touch of depression, and other factors made it difficult to keep that sort of weight off.
I fell back into binge eating, but I figured out a way that I can still eat what i want (in moderation, of course) that’s a step in the right direction for me.
Cook everything.
Just this past week, I had a huge craving for cinnamon rolls. So, instead of running down to my local bakery or grocer and getting some pre-baked cinnamon rolls or a roll of Pillsbury ones, I made them myself. They tasted better, and for some reason, I don’t completely gorge myself on them like I would if I had just bought them. Similarly, if I want, say, potato chips, I’ll have to make them myself instead of buying a bag of Lays.
Obviously the nutrition isn’t perfect but homemade cinnamon rolls, cookies, potato chips, etc are usually miles better than the store-bought variety. I’ll take any win I can get that helps me overcome my food addiction.
