Lately I have been sticking with my diet fairly well but the one thing that still always gets me is free food.
Growing up as a kid me and my mom alone at 2 seperate times in our lives were realy poor for a little while and on food stamps, asked freinds if I could get a snack at their house ect. My mom had always pe I'm trying stick to my diet but I feel stupid for not taking something given to me for free, I feel like I am missing out and loosing out on resources, stupid for not accepting something for free. simply just saying no to something that me and many others at some time were scavenging for is hard to do. If you have ever been at that point in your life before i don't know if it would give you a different feeling about rejecting free food. There actauly was like 2 times in the past where I actually rejected it but most of the time I seem to be overpowered.
Was wondering if any of y'all have ever felt the same problem and how do you overcome it. There is a coworker of mine at 1job and he always brings me really good food for free once a week because he works for a food distribution company. Today I told him not to bring me any more free food again but was also very thankful for the food that he brought me in the past. It is definitely easier said than done to try to find some other jobs that don't offer free food so I just have to find out my own mental way to reject free food.
