Hi Chelsey!
I know the feeling about take out and eating to get you thru your shifts and out of boredom. I have been there and done that numerous times. With chronic depression, it is very difficult not to eat our of despair or boredom, then feel guilty because you are gaining everything you have lost. I have been on numerous diet plans but this time, I made a promise to myself that I was going to learn to eat healthy and stop the diet yoyo’s. I really like this plan. I actually budget some extra calories each day to incorporate into my boredom eating. I still do the eating but have changed what I snack on. I gave up potato chips for carrots, celery and zucchini chips. I also make sure my pantry nor refrigerator has any tempting foods to throw me off. I even keep sugar free jello to eat as a sweet treat before bedtime as it is less than 10 calories. If I can do it, anyone can. I believe you can do it too. Good luck.
