I'll preface this by saying that a few weeks ago I started CICO and am down 5 lbs! It's the longest I've stuck with it so far and I think a good chunk of the reason is that this time I A) am aware I have cPTSD and all that entails and B) have an amazing therapist I am seeing weekly.
But, also part of that is that I have been unemployed while I've been doing this. So things like making sure I'm drinking a lot of water, taking the time to make my meals and weight everything out, etc, etc seems easier. Next week I start back at work at a new job and I'm really nervous that I'm going to mess up my progress. That I'm going to somehow slip back into that mindset of having to put my job first, letting my self care suffer, etc, etc. At least this time around I'm aware of my self sabotaging tendancies.
I've been trying to think of foods that I can prepare ahead of time and bring with me. Quick breakfasts, easy lunches. Dinners won't be so bad because I know I can chop up some vegetables Sunday and portion out my chicken. But historically I have a tendancy to say "fuck it" and go for the easy fast foods because I'm so tired.
What do you guys do for work when it comes to CICO? I've never prepped food before and I'm unsure how to do that in such quantities... a weeks worth of food seems like it would go bad before I had a chance to eat it all.
Am I just completely over thinking this??
