Like Char said, food is fuel for the body.* I really look at food as fuel and not entertainment.* It took me a very long time to wrap my head around this one, but once I did, my journey got a whole lot simpler!* Many days my coworkers want to go out for lunch to a restaurant and it doesn't entice me in the least.* I can make healthy cost effective choices on my own, and if I eat my 6 meals a day, I never truely get hungry to warrant any cravings.* Now I just eat healthy food.* Sometimes my meals may seem boring or redundant to others if I haven't taken the time to plan other types of meals and am eating the same 5 things every day, but it really hasn't bothered me!* Today I went to the grocery store to see if there was any kind of "cake" or treat I'd want for my birthday meal, and I came out empty handed.* Just a good steak and veggies.* I haven't found anything "special" enough to warrant me binging again, even if just for a one-time birthday treat!
