My appetite is pretty bottomless, so I almost never feel uncomfortably full, even if I eat a whole lot. Restaurants are definitely my biggest challenge.

Because I don't have "a resolve" anymore. Walking into a restaurant used to mean that I had to stick to a plan, avoid many foods, appear to eat the right foods. Just looking at the dessert menu used to flood me with guilt. Guilt was such a big ball and chain and I feel like it caused Overeating for me because I reacted to it in such a visceral way.
I know I'm not going to overeat now because I know I can order anything I want and I'm guilt free allowed to enjoy it. But also the physical sensation of Overeating has become unbearable now, I was used to it before but over time it is a habit that I have broken. I'm not perfect, I still overeat sometimes but when it was a daily thing the physical sensation didn't bother me either. It's a habit I guess?
