So I am falling back into those bad habits. But I haven't started eating sweets yet. Or crackers. Or bread (except for naan), or chips. Yes indeedy, I am staying away from all those foods that are "dangerous" to me, only to find that I have a new set of dangerous foods.
Lets face it. It isn't the food exactly. Yes I love sweets, but the real problem is I love it all. I have never said that my problem was sweets, so I don't know why I think that if I just don't eat sweets I won't overeat. I like food. Doesn't matter. My problem is always quantity. A little is good a lot is better.
So seeing this trend again I have to take a step back and re-think this whole thing. The only way that I can control the amount that I eat is being unrelenting. Can I be unrelenting? Can I stop eating after a normal serving size. I haven't been doing such a great job of it recently. I find that when I am not sitting at my desk all day working and I am out and about I can control that overeating gene, but home working not so much.
I claim not to be an emotional eater, but truthfully that is not true. Looking into the darkness of my soul I eat out of boredom. But when you find your job boring what can you do? Being aware of it is not good enough. I need to have the same discipline that I had when on product, but I am not answering to anyone but myself, and it is so easy to talk yourself out of anything you don't want to do.
It is easy to stay focused on vacation, so I will be good for the next six days, and I will tackle this problem when I return.

Maybe it's time to purge the house of "scary food" - your loyal mate also has reversed his weight loss & would be delighted to help for both of us
