<p>oh wow, thanks for all the comments, I expected just a few people scolding me to get in control of myself and shut up and go away. </p>
<p>just to answer a few questions that have come up…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not have ADD. I do still like the healthy foods, it’s just that i opened pandora’s box by getting into unhealthy foods… it’s like, why spend so much money on fresh, healthy produce when you can just go to Wendy’s for cheaper? i realize how ridiculous this sounds and i’m really going to try to force myself out of the apartment to go to the store in a couple of days. </p>
<p>as far as the impulse control thing, I’d say that i guess I have some small problems with that… i do often spend too much just as kind of a leisure activity, but I wouldn’t say I’m a crazy, compulsive shopper or anything like that… </p>
<p>something else I didn’t mention in my post was that I did kind of have an eating disorder in high school. I wasn’t terribly unhealthy but I did skip meals very often or throw away food and a few times and got obsessed with reading pro-anorexia websites (yes, they exist unfortunately) and looking at “thinspiration” (i.e. pictures of stick-thin models and celebrities). This phase only lasted a few months though, thank god, and i think it was because of extreme stress and pressure (I was a dancer and basketball player in HS, very active in both things).</p>
<p>whatever though, when I wrote this post I wasn’t quite thinking clear. i know I’m in control here and can’t let food control my life like this.</p>
