My motto is: if you're house is dirty, you're probably getting depressed. Clean your house.

It'll probably help with the stress eating. Anxiety is a big culprit and it is common these days.

On the other hand, if my house is very clean and uncluttered, I'm probably depressed/anxious and not spending time doing things I like. I personally despise cleaning house, and minimal cleaning for practical reasons works for me.

If you buy food that requires preparation time, that makes it less likely to stress eat.

That's an interesting idea. I'll look into that.

Make it difficult. Open chips, put chips into bowl, and take them somewhere else. (for example). You can make yourself bored while eating them, but I rarely do. The bowl/plate plus immediate cleanup helps stop the mindless eating.

In the meantime, work on getting some sort of hobby to help with the stress.

Eat it all you want? I can eat cherry tomatoes all day long and I doubt that’s awful for me

Just buy a bunch of veggies. Eat soup all day?

Fuck it.

I'd just enjoy myself, the damage is already done this time.
