Having issues today
Why do I do this? Before I even finish eating my lunch, I'm already thinking about what I can eat next!? How can food have such control over me? I know you don't have the answers, but I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment...

Also I have certain mindsets when it comes to wasting food and or money. Basically I convince myself its okay to eat things I…

I'm thinking, when we have that urge to continue eating or doing something we shouldn't be, to help our self control we need some way to remember the reasons why we need to curb our self control in the first place.
