I feel controlled

I think I figured out my over eating problem

I plan my meals out every Sunday for the week, because I'm a very organised person

But I feel like I'm controlling myself as to whqt I have to eat instead of just generally eating healthy, and I hate being controlled which is why I think my habits are coming back

I just want to break that barrier but I'm scared that if I don't count calories and just eat healthiy that I'll go over my 1400 calories :(

You sound so like me! I have such great intentions, try to plan, but then when the time comes I get in a sulk if I have to force myself to make something I no longer want. That just makes me want to eat something else, and usually do. Managed to crack it at the end of last week - I went to the shop and didn't really think about what I was buying, but I came home with a selection of healthy and not-so-healthy options. When the time came to decide what to make I actually chose the healthy one. I think it's the choice that counts. If the option is there and you know you aren't forced to do anything, doing the right thing is much easier.

Not what you're looking for?
