I need help, How to turn down food?

Hi guys,

So I am super healthy overall and I can diet really fast if I stick to healthy diet plan. I have one downfall though.

I am super frugal, I dont like wasting food and I like free food lol I just love food honestly

This problem become worst during the holidays .

If I go to places and I see food, I must try them all. I have this uncontrollable desire to at least have a bite of every thing even though I am full and my stomach is about to explode , I can always eat more. Sometimes, I find myself thinking , this food is not even good and why am I eating it even if it's free. The food is not even that great but it's like , I must eat it for some reason because it's food and I like food.

It's becoming just a big problem because I could easily eat 3000 calories worth of food that by the time I finish trying all the dish, Im thinking none of them even tasted great.

How do I stop or control this problem? what are trigger? why do I feel the need to eat something that I dont even think it's good. where with other people they would be like, this is trash cookie and won't have one . I , on the other hand, would say yea its awful n super dried n not that good but still eat 6 cookies.

do you really want to abandon all the other delicious food and not try to eat anything else than your frugal healthy food?

be kinder to yourself and eat anything they give you, if you find it good, whatever calories.... its like trying new places, travelling, etc

then you get home and eat again the roots and nuts or whatever you like

dont try to limit your life experiences and stress over it

and, frankly, your overeating at other places is a result of your undereating and eating air at home

why are you punishing yourself? are you extremely obese?

balance is the right thing, like with everything else

imho 🙂

I understand about feeling obligated to finish a serving, if you grew up with parents who told you to finish your plate, etc. That can take some practice to overcome. Taking breaks during eating to drink water can help you realize if you're full.

Planning meals and sticking to a schedule has also helped me. If your higher-intake days don't have much consequence (as far as your body changing) you likely aren't doing anything wrong, maybe equalling out a caloric deficit you had already been in. It's not too uncommon for people to need 3000 calories a day to match what they burned that day

You are right that it is a habit formed at a young age. I was a super skin kid growing up . The rule was to finish the food and I also wasn’t allow to drink anything

To this day I still don’t drink while eating . I wait until I’m finish to drink water .

I’m not exactly a dieter . I just eat fairly healthy n whole food on a day to day basis .

I’ve just been more strict lately because I made a goal that I just want to see my abs one more time in my twenties lol.

If you wanna go cold turkey, this should help.

If you turn your monitor off but keep the sound on, you'd think you're watching an entirely different kind of video....

If someone offers you food, take it and drown it in salt.

I didnt give up food, I increased my workouts.

I cycle 3 times a week and I walk alot.

Just try small portions
