Does anybody else have to literally turn their food into poison to not overeat? I just had lunch and then my mom brought me a plate of food (bless her heart). But, its all fatty not diet friendly crap so as soon as she left I put it in the trash can and poured disinfectant on it to ruin it so I won't even be tempted to take it out of the trash and eat it (which I have done before *shame*).

one day I put candy bars in the garbage disposal
grind grind grind

I ALWAYS do the same even if i didn't trash the food id give it away . If its out of sight its out of craving i say :P

[suitejudyblueeyes]

I have definitely done similar things... Water is cheaper than disinfectant If there is a baked good sitting around tempting me and DH has had all he wants, I pour water on it and toss it.

[erinmagill]

You girls are so smart. I never would have thought of any of this! Thats an awesome way to deal with cravings!

[Elwing]

I have done that but I try to do it as little as possible, because I don't like throwing away food. I mean... it's bad for me because I am dieting, but there is nothing wrong with that food and I'm throwing it away.

That being said, I have poured water into a bag of crisps that had stayed behind after a party. I was afraid I'd eat the entire thing, and they were those shrimp crisps you're supposed to eat with rice. BAD BAD BAD stuff.

Usually I try to find someone else I can give it to. And when I've already promised it to them I probably won't eat it, because then I can't give it to them any more.

I've poured water on my food when going out to eat.

[Jelbb]

I've poured water into bags of chips after getting halfway through it, and my guilt kicked in.

[leighish]

gosh, I'm so glad I can be honest with you guys. I always felt bad about ruining my food. I always thought it was so wasteful.

[Thin4Good]

Remember- junk food is bad for EVERYONE - not just people on diets. -

And - Sometimes you have to get rid of food before it goes to WAIST.


Yup- I put stuff down the disposal all the time.

[yoyoma]

I guess I'm lucky. I can usually feed it to the dog or toss it out under the bird feeder so I don't have to feel like it is totally wasted.

But if you don't have those options, take whatever measures work for you. It is NOT wasteful to avoid poor food choices.

[Iconised Ghost]

it might sound odd, but when i throw stuff away i used to feel guilty because of the cost of the food, but then i thought about the cost i was saving myself and the health care system by losing weight and didnt feel so bad yeah, i over think things...

[ghost]

you are so right! by not eating the food that I don't need I'm saving myself money in the long run by not getting diabetes or having a heart attack.

[Thighs Be Gone]

I had a big party on Saturday at my house. There was a ton of food left from the caterers. I called a friend that holds GS meetings in her home Monday nights. She came and gladly took it all away.

My dogs are the disposals of my house for everything that isn't bad for them, like sweets.
