Long-time compulsive overeater and binge eater, here!
I’ve realized that I always naturally and pretty quickly lose weight when constant access to food just isn’t an option. Times when my spouse is away, I love being able to just not keep any food in the house except for, say, raw vegetables and meat (and even then I might overeat, but at least it’s vegetables!), and just go out to the store for exactly what I want to eat, when I want it. I always slim down during vacations away from home, whether it’s camping or staying at a hotel, just by virtue of having food around only distinct meal times. I was actually thin for the whole 6 years of college when I lived on my own, and again, just never kept much of any food at home! It’s just so so easy for me to eat a normal amount of food in circumstances like those; whereas if there’s ANY ready-to-eat food around, and I have some spare time, I struggle greatly to not just eat it.
It’s obviously not reasonable to ask my spouse or kids to not keep the foods they like readily available, nor do I have the time anymore to go to the store multiple times a day. I am beyond grateful to have a wonderful family, and I do acknowledge that the base issue is simply my own lack of self-control and willpower... But are there any strategies or tricks people have found that work, for someone like me?
