    In general I would say I agree and owe my healthy weight mostly to this. Another thing that I would always do is instead of buying a regular family size bag of chips, I would buy the snack pack sizes. It’s a lot more expensive and more wasteful that way. But it’s easy to mindlessly consume half of a bag of family size chips. It’s less easy to mindlessly individually open 10 snack bags of chips.

    But goddamnit, food delivery apps are my vice. They just bring whatever you want directly to you. I guess at least with these I’m generally only ordering a single meal rather than a ton of snacks.

      but soooo fucking easy to go through a half-bag’s worth of mini candybars and other assorted goodies from a halloween stash without even realizing.

        You know what you got me there. For some reason individually wrapped candies are another thing. Maybe because one doesn’t at all seem like a reasonable serving size or something. Like…who just has a singular candy? Meanwhile snack size bags of chips at least have multiple chips.

      At the time I was following my own advice, I’d also wait until 3pm and order my only meal of the day though a delivery app.
