The power of a value meal

[kelliegirl]

I have a love/hate relationship with fast food and junk food.

I love it and I hate what it does to me. When I get stressed I find myself seeking out crap. Sometimes I'll find myself in the drive-thru without realizing it. I'll eat in the car where no one can see me and I'll throw away the trash before I get home. When I cut the bad foods out of my life I feel so much better and I do lose weight. I can go for weeks or months without it but then something happens in my life and I run for it.

I've tried all kinds of things over the years. I've tried different routes home so I won't drive by the places that tempt me. I've tried not carrying money. I've tried posting positive images in the car. I've tried packing healthy foods for the drive home. I've even found myself mid-binge throwing the food out of the window in disgust. As soon as I've eaten it I feel so bad about myself. But this cycle continues.

I don't really know how to change that tape in my head. Has anyone here also had these issues? What do you do to keep yourself strong?

Hi

Love your avatar....

Sorry I am of know help to you with the food thing, but guess it is a bit like my love/hate alcohol thing I love it it hates me I hate me, kind of goes on like that. I have tried healthy drinks, glass bottles of fruit juice (so I think its like beer) big bottles of fruit juice or grape juice (kinda like wine!!) and it is SOOOO hard.

So sorry no answers here but hopefully someone will be along to offer more help soon.
