I think I've found a potential diet buster. Over the past few days I have realized that I thoughtlessly put food in my mouth many times a day. "Oh, the kids didn't finish their sandwich?" "Who left this apple on the table?" "Hmmm...those cherries look tasty." I tend to think I eat healthy...no fast food, no pop, rarely eating out, very little cookies/candy/etc, but these extra bites here and there are surely adding up. I don't know when I decided I was the garbage disposal...it really does bother me to throw unused food away - so evidently, at some point, I decided to just eat it. That's what they make Tupperware for, my dear!
I've also been noticing that when I feel stressed out or angry, I tend to want to eat. I've really been struggling over the past few days with feeling "hungry" when, in fact, I may be feeling other emotions that I'm trying to self-medicate away. Hopefully, doing the TSFL and going cold turkey with snacking will help me to recognize when I want to eat and why and help me to learn other modes of coping.
