I managed to not pig out today. I kept busy by cleaning my apartment (zzzzzzzzz) and organizing some paperwork. Boring, but it really did help me not to eat. I have used eating as an actual “something to do” in the past. Like, why clean up when I can sit in front of the TV with a giant bowl of popcorn? And then while eating the popcorn and watching TV there is still room in my mind to think about what to eat next. Vicious circle.
