I'm trying to lose weight, but I work at an absolutely amazing bakery and am literally staring at muffins, scones, cookies, cupcakes etc ALL DAY. Business is slow so for most of the day I'm just standing at the register waiting for people to come in - it's super boring, and the combination of being bored + staring at yummy food = me eating like crazy. I've tried treating myself to just one pastry so I don't feel restricted, but that leaves me even more tempted. I also don't get breaks so I eat lunch standing up at the cash register, which makes me overeat. I struggle with binge eating as it is, and this just feels so hard.
Even worse, I have shin splints right now (I'm a runner) so I can't work off all my calories like I'm accustomed to doing. This mentality leads me to the "all or nothing" approach. I've had severe anorexia and now I'm trying to get past binge eating (it's become a habit for me to eat 5-6,000 cals a day...it's really bad) so weight loss has always been hard, and my current work environment makes it even harder.
Any advice?
