Bought a giant box of ginger snaps at Costco, telling myself that I would give them to my coworkers so that I could use the super cute cookie tin at home for storage. What actually happened is that I ended up opening and binging on the sugary, deliciously crunchy snaps the past two days. I finally reached the breaking point when I woke up sick today and reached for the cookies first thing. I kept eating them, knowing that I wasn't doing my sick (or healthy) body any good. I feel gross after eating so much. I'm trying not to focus on my feelings of disgust at the binge but rather pride that I stopped the binge before it got too out of control and that I recognize what I need to do to avoid binges.
I'm usually good about not keeping large amounts of junk in the house, and this is a reminder that keeping big containers of junk out of the house works for me. I'm okay if I eat a small cookie here or there, but if there's a big container available to me, I just keep refilling my portion control container. I really have difficulty with self-control around quantity so large bags of carrots are my go to. I'd rather not binge on anything at all than carrots but...I haven't reached that point yet.
Anways. Just wanted to share.
