Just wanted to give a tip to those who have had problems cutting out junk food like I did at first.
I made a list of everything I should cut: Chips, dessert, pastries, fast food, gas station food, french fries, sugar in my coffee, chocolate and frozen food. I allow myself a few beers a week because I’m already not much of a drinker and perhaps one takeout meal (which I rarely do anyways).
I then downloaded an AA/NA-type app called Sober Time. You know those apps that tell you “you have 62 days clean” ? That. This one lets you put in what your addiction is, I just titled my addiction as “Junk Food From the List”. I’m 28 days “clean” from everything on that list, and I find it a hell of a lot more motivating than simply counting calories, which I do, just not religiously.
I was at the gas station the other day and Doritos were on special (Doritos and I have a long history), I almost picked up a bag but looked at my phone, I then left it there. Didn’t want to fuck my streak up.
Might not seem like much, but it’s the longest I’ve ever gone without shit food. Might work for some of you.
