planning versus restricting

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

I’ve missed being in regular communication with all of

you. My work schedule has been absolutely insane so I’ve been a bit

quiet.

I have been finding that when I leave my food options to

chance I end up with food choices that make me unhappy because I feel like I’ve

eaten less nutritious food than I want. It’s not that I want to

restrict myself from eating a cheeseburger and French fries if that’s

what I want but when I let life dictate that to me that I feel like I’m

eating “poorly” and I feel the negative physical side effects.

So my question is “planning” my food bad

different from restricting it? If what I really want is egg white and

spinach wraps for breakfast is it wrong to mentally commit to myself that this

is what I’m going to do and then make sure I have a bomb shelter supply

of egg whites and spinach in the house so I don’t end up at the

McDriveThru?

All thoughts welcome.
