I had a moment of clarity yesterday.
My boyfriend went shopping and brought home a bunch of processed food. Boxes of Stove Top stuffing, a can of frosting, a box of cornbread mix, canned soup, cranberry "drink," etc. He says he is committed to the Clean Eating lifestyle and says he supports my weight loss, but has always kind of brought stuff into the house that I can't eat. He has a "treat" drawer where he keeps pastries, candy, and who knows what else. I just don't go in there. And, unless, he is going on a business trip and leaving me alone with that junk, I don't worry about it. But, this is different. This is all food that I can make. He says he likes the clean recipes, so I don't think he feels deprived.
Anyway, so as I am unloading the groceries I begin to notice all this processed food. I am getting angrier and angrier. I am so upset that I have to leave the room for a few minutes. Suddenly, in what should have been completely obvious to me, I realize: I don't have to eat it. Just because it is in the house doesn't mean that I have to eat it. I just let it go and relaxed about it.
Yesterday, I made healthy stuffing and a box of the other. I kept them separate. And of course. He liked mine better!
