give up junk food

Ok, so i’ve decided for so long now that I need to give This up but I have no idea where to start. Work stocks biscuits in the kitchen and everytime I am in there, I eat them. Why? I’m not hungry, I’m not craving them, but they’re there. Simple as that. So this is what I plan to do. Go cold turkey on the biscuits and allow myself a mini bar of chocolate or something if I’m really craving. I find that if I have to go out a buy something, then I realise I can do without. And I can do without. I feel like crap everytime I eat them, but it doesn’t stop me from going back for more! I need to join overeaters anonymous, but they’ll probably laugh at me coz I’m skinny!

I have battled with anorexia and crash dieting in the past, and for some reason, i am finding that i have started bingeing quite a bit. At first, it was just every couple of weeks, but now its every other day. I’m not sure if the 5-6 lbs i gained is from all the shit I’ve been eating or if I’ve actually gained weight. I certainly hope not. And so, particularly after my latest binge tonight, I have decided that I am GOING to give up junk food. Right now. I don’t care what it takes. I WILL. Despite all of my eating disorder issues, I have worked hard to lose all of this weight, and I’ll be DAMNED if I gain ANY of it back!

This has been my goal for the past year, I really really want to be able to do this. Why is it so hard to give up something that I know is bad for me? This should be an easy thing, to give up something that I don’t need. So why is it so hard? Why does want always trump need?

I have not had junk food since December 14th! :D That means I am 17 days junk food free and I feel great! I don’t crave to eat junk any more, but I do need to find more foods that I love that are easy to make. This will prevent me from wanting to munch on gross things, because I won’t be hungry whatsoever.

I wrote this down because it’s something I had eventually wanted to do, and today I realized I just need to do it. I live in a really unhealthy situation right now, so I can’t exactly afford my wonderful old organic, vegan diet. Since I started eating processed foods, I’ve gained like 15-20lbs, putting me at a high weight I can’t stand.

Today I ate a microwave pizza and some reeses. I have no idea why I ae the reeses. It made me realize that I need to stop now. So the first thing I am giving up is sweets. Sweets is the umbrella word that includes but is not limited to: ice cream, candy, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pies, pudding, fudge, hot cocoa, soda, etc. I will allow myself one sweet a day, and that will be a piece of dark chocolate. Just one of those dark chocolate squares that Dove makes. 47 calories.

I’m also going to give up pizza. For some reason I eat a lot of that shit, and it has to stop. I don’t care how cheap it is. No. That goes for anything pizza flavored as well. It needs to go out of my diet. The only pizza I am allowed is that stuff that like.. Lean Cuisine sells.

So that’s my goal for now. I’ll check back in a week and let you know how I am doing. I’m going to try and buy more salads and cheap veggies/fruits, and eat those instead of everything else. I’ll probably start a journal for my whole.. bettering my life thing. Diet+exercise+giving up bad food.

Just replace the snacks with apples! seriously you get used to it and feel better, the slightest lapse will cause you to give up and fall back into old habits so just hang strong. you’re determination will start to motivate you even more

Why does no one ever write on here..That sucks..There needs to be more people or something..sigh sigh sigh.. Well,anyways this is a great goal.. Trying to keep with it though…

So I haven’t given up yet.. I did very well during spring break.. normally when I am arouond lots of junk food I give in but not this time.. All I have had within the past 3 weeks has been tootsie rolls.. thank god.. I have not had any other type of junk food.. So I am going to be aloud to have junk food on my b-day only… and that doesn’t count towards anything to me… Well, anyways hope it keeps going this well..

So I am tring my hardest not to eat any type of junk food.. although, it is going to be hard and a lot of work.. Since spring break is next week and I am going to be spending a week with friends and having b-day parties and stuff.. Well, hopefully I will stick to healthier foods if I end up binging.. last night I felt that I had to eat and I almost ate popcorn but I thought before i did it and threw it away and ate some soup and stuff instead… So hopefully I will keep this up and give up junk food for good.. but it will be 2 weeks this weekend since I had junk food.. so that will be good.. hopefully I will not give in during spring break…

So its been a week since I have had any junk food.. I am trying to give it all up for much healthier stuff.. Well, I plan to have cake once a year on my b-day.. hopefully this works out… I plan to give it all up like cakes, cookies, chips, brownies, and the works.. I gave pop up like 3 years ago and it wasn’t that hard for me, but food is different.. Everyone is always shoving it in my face b/c they know that I want to give it up and they think it is crazy… Well, they are very unhealthy people and so I don’t really listen to them b/c I am like look at you.. But I love them all dearly.. This is my own personal goal and I hope someone has some sound advice for me
Thanks…
