i have brute forced this by not buying any kinds of snacks or sweets from the grocery store. so if i want to eat something i have to either go hungry or make a real food. (usually i end up doing both)
I did the same, lost 30 pounds since. I just don't have the mental strength to avoid snacks when I'm anxious, stressed or depressed. It's the only thing that worked for me.
didn't work for me, I'll just drive to the grocery store and buy candy. and then i buy a lot of it because it would be silly to drive there just for the candy.
i’m the same way, and after a while i’ve come to appreciate feeling like i don’t need the strength: if i set up my environment properly then eating healthy is one less thing i have to worry about, and i can use the leftover mental strength for other things.
One alternative I’ve suggested is that you can have cookies and snacks, but you have to bake them yourself. Puts some effort and friction on the task.
I'll happily bake 2 dozen cookies today to eat them all in one sitting tomorrow...
