    I got injured at work tonight. I’m going to spend the next few days home. First thing I’ll do when the shops open is get a buttload of snacks. And maybe some Legos.

    Are you unable to get to a store for another 7 days or is there no longer room for chips in the budget?

    I do this on purpose to myself every time because if I buy chips, I’ll just eat them all on the first day. If I have a chance I’ll buy more next time and on and on and on.

    Instead I just cut myself off because I know I can’t trust myself.

    My own worst influence is myself.

      Same here, not sure if it’s because of parents telling us to finish the plate and we can’t leave until it’s empty (I wasn’t picky eater I think) but whenever I have food I just can’t put it away for later once it’s open or on plate I have to eat it all.

    Is this an American problem that I’m too European to comprehend? If I forget to buy something at the store I literally just walk 4 minutes to the nearest store and buy whatever I forgot. Maybe I’ll even pick it up on the back home on my bike for even less of a time penalty.

      Haha there are a great many North Americans that live 10+ minutes minimum by car from the nearest grocery store.

      I’m a walker (depressingly rare in North America) and my closest shop is about 6 minutes away. I’m considered insane for being willing to walk 40 mins to work

        40 minutes is clearly in the range of doable walks, although if it were a commute I’d do it by bike every time which would shorten it down to 10 minutes, probably.
