I'll start off by saying I've been dealing with weight loss/gain my entire life. I was a morbidly obese child and teenager. I lost 100lbs between the ages of 24-27. I've gained back 30lbs and am trying to lose it again. Over-eating is a life long struggle for me.
Since I've become an adult, my tactic to lose weight has been to only have food in the house that I am eating that week. No snacks, no desserts, nothing extra. Just the food I need to make meals for that week. This typically would work well for me, but I would still randomly get in moods where I would go out to restaurants/get take-out and binge.
But for the past few weeks, my husband and I have slowly been buying more food to keep in the house due to coronavirus fears. Our state has been closing everything down, so we just want to be prepared. Nothing insane (no hoarding TP here), but buying more than usual. Our pantry is full of things I can make meals out of. We also have snacks, bags of chips and protein bars. There's even ice cream bars in the freezer. And somehow, I'm not overeating any of it?? It's very strange, I was a little worried about having this all here.
I'm not sure if this is a short lived feeling, since it's only been a couple weeks, but I'm weirdly less anxious about food right now than I normally am. I just have so many options for meals and it seems like I'm less stressed out about it. I wonder if food scarcity in my home might contribute to binging? Just something to think about. Stay safe out there everyone!
