me,myselfandi's Journal, 28 Aug 19

We had free food at work today which is always a big challenge for me.

I used to:
- Eat 3 large plates
- Pack up food for later under the pretense of getting some for a coworker.
- End up having 5,000 or 6,000 calories for the day (based on later estimates).

Today, I did fairly well:
- Ate 1 plate, albeit a large one, with 1 doughnut.
- Packed no food for later since I can afford my own dinner now.
- Had a small dinner an stayed just under my 2,500 calorie daily goal.

It was still REALLY stressful so I have a ways to go but I feel really good about how well I did and I didn't call out sick to avoid it. (I don't normally open up about my food challenges so please be gentle in the comments!)
