Wed 180919 Stayed in.../Eating too much 'wrong' foods/drinks...!

-(This post is recalled from the next day.)-

STAYED IN/DIDN'T GO OUT

I remember thinking to myself I would like to go out...and, visit seeing a few galleries. In particular, I had in mind, at least, 3...

- Dulwich Picture Gallery
- Tate Britain
- Saatchi Gallery

Possibly, in that same order; as that, I think, its the route I would take.

However, in reality, I went nowhere. Just stayed inside...watching TV/Internet/or else, sleeping.

OVER-EATING

I note that I have been over-eating all the wrong foods of late. In particular, I went and brought some of my favourite foods; things I like to eat every single day.

1. Jamaican white bread/(with butter)
2. Jalpeno large crisps (Max strong/extra hot)
3. Chocolate digestive biscuits
4. Mango fruit drink (boxed)

...the problem is, whenever I buy these things...I need to be very careful how much I tend to open all at once. Because, I can easily see myself having...

1 whole Jamacian white bread
2 or 3 packets of Jalpeno crisps
2 packets -or, more- of chocolate digestives
2 mango fruit drinks

....every single day.

So, I try and 'force' myself...to set a limit of...

1 slice of Jamaican white bread, at a time; possible, 2/or, 3 slices per day.
1 packet of Jalpeno crisps
1 packet of chocolate digestives
1 mango fruit drink

...and, frankly, even that is eating far too much. It should be...

1 slice of Jamaican white bread
Half a packet of Jalpeno crisps (give the other half to my mum)
3 chocolate digestive biscuits
1 quarter of Mango fruit drink

...if I could stick with this schedule...then, of course, the food would last much longer. In the mean time, I can fill my stomach with things like...

Drink pints of water/or, tea (1 tea bag per day)
Eat other biscuits if necessary
Eat other food (egg omlette/-etc.)

The trouble with 'junk food' is it's all too very quick and easy to eat.

- It doesn't need any further preparation (just simply tear into the packet/and, stuff your mouth)
- It's not healthy (too much sugar/too much salt)! I should be concentrating on eating fruits.
- It's not good neither mentally/physically...mentally, it makes you 'hyper'...angry/ugly/awful; physically, it makes you over weight/rots your teeth/gives you bad breath/bumps(too much sweets)/-etc.
- It's 'addictive'...because the taste is nice...therefore, you just don't wish to stop eating/drinking it(in a wholly 'unthinking' manner). Before choosing to eat 'junk food' it would be wise to stop yourself, and, ask the question...do I 'need' this.../or, do I merely 'want' this...?! Most times, it's just merely 'want'/and, most definitely, not a need.
-There are many psychological reasons why I tend to yearn for/and, rely on eating junk food: laziness/depression/to use as comfort food...it's comforting, at first, because it gives you an immediate 'kick' due to the taste; but, then, afterwards, you feel really guilty and sad, ashamed of yourself...for having been so weak as to give in to temptation.
