Epiphany: it's not normal to eat a whole bag of chips in one sitting by yourself.

I was listening to an episode of a podcast I love and one of the hosts joked about being worried about someone after they ate a whole bag of chips. And boom. It hit me hard. Not in an insulting way (though it did feel like a liiittle bit of a personal attack 😅) but just "huh, maybe that is really bad for you."

It's no secret chips are bad for you. I haven't sat down with a bag of doritos and polished it off in months, but before I started dieting (December 2019) I would do this FREQUENTLY. Once or twice a week sometimes! And uh, hey u/humanchonker of the past? That's bad. That's not a normal thing for you to do when you're trying to love your body. I would wake up the next morning and feel sick and greasy, but in my mind if you buy the bag of chips you finish it! That's how it is!

Y'all I've had a bag of whole-grain tortilla chips in my pantry for like 4 weeks now, I just eat a few whenever I make guacamole. Listening to that podcast and hearing them goof about eating a whole bag of chips made me realize that THAT is normal. Eating 2400 calories of doritos in 2 hours? Not good. Eating a regular amount of doritos and packing them up for another time? Good.

This is a realization to 55lbs into my weight loss journey. There is so much growth I still have to do and while I'm doing good, there's still old habits and mindsets that I have yet to shake off. Hope everyone is having a good day!
